| | I was wondering, since I just started taking a 6 month cooking course diploma thing. Yeah, Im gonna be a chef. I mainly decided to take those clases because all I can make is a cereal and my mom usually doesnt have time to make all the meals per day. So Im gonna do my best at it. If there are many people who do know, maybe we can open up a space for cooking in this forums, with recipes and tips. etc.. |

I don't even know the ABC of cooking. But I sure have a diploma in gobbling up all the food  . The best cooking I can do is perhaps make a tomatto egg scramble and tea/coffee. Even then I'll be making abig mess out of it!

I know how to cook but I'm not that skilled since my parents share the job of making a meal once every couple of days (and then enough so it lasts through some days so we only have to warm it up)...

Hehe. Yeah. I can cook. Not really elaborate meals. But you know. Spaghetti is something I can get by on, rammen noodles, pancakes, cake. If it is a recipe, I could do it. As long as it isn't to complicated. I like to cook things that are fast. Does fruit count? No, really, I can bake a little too. So yeah, I can do a little cooking. My speciality is actually eating, not cooking, but you know, no pain, no gain. Happy cooking one and all.

iF there is a recipe I could do it. Its not a matter of do i know how to cook. Its just do I want to cook? lol. I think everyone knows how to cook its just do you know what your doing. Its fairly simple in my idea. My favorite are mix and bake products or microwaveable ones. lol. Some how I don't like the box macaroni. I don't know if its me or the nasty cheese. Anyways that's my two cents. just like WIld20 my expertise leans towards eating rather than cookin.g

A cavemen could follow a recipe. Food tastes better when you make it so I definatly cook. I make the best soups around, however that is probobly because I use pork to make my brooths, good and fat. I can make tomato, onion, borsch, mushroom, heart, and my favorite pig feet soup. I also love making golumbki, but having my fingers burned in an hour of steam while striping a boiling cabage isn't too fun.

Well as long as I have directions and it is sort of easy to make then I am good to go. Of course I don't cook that much because either my parents or my sister do. (they think I'll poison them) The one thing I do love to cook though is cookies. Not really for the sake of cooking them but really for eating them. I love cookies so I will make them.  I like pizza though too. I can grill a little bit but need a bit of supervision to help me out.

Dear Carson:Well I have great news for you and everyone else who thinks they can't cook because they need directions: EVERYONE DOES! THAT'S WHY PEOPLE WRITE RECIPE BOOKS & PUBLISH THEM:) It is not possible to learn how to cook without using someone elses recipes at first. So using a microwave and making pre-packaged meals is JUST as much cooking as making your own meals from scratch. By eating pre-made meals, you learn what your body likes and doesn't like, from there, you learn to make things without what you dislike and add ingredients you enjoy. This is how we all get started, so yes Carson, you are a cook. I've been cooking since I was 8 years old, and I started by making Kraft Dinner, I had to read the box, hell, I've even burnt it, A LOT! But Then I started adding different things, like cream of mushroom soup, instead of the cheese packet, and ham or tuna, etc, and after that, I was able to do it without the directions on the box. So I took it one step further and bought different pastas, with no directions, and added whatever I felt would taste good and so on. So now I take a recipe, lets say I find it online, and I copy it into my recipe book, however, I do not copy foods I don't like from the recipe, instead, I substitute them with foods I love, and voila, I have made my own recipe. When I get some time, I will start a recipe topic here at trap 17, with my own recipes & everyone else is welcome to post their own favorites, wether they include a canned or packaged food or not:) All recipes are great, they keep us fed and alive, and all cooks are awesome because they feed themselves and others:)

You should always learn to cook, for so many reasons... > Eating homemade food is a lot healthier than prepackaged junk > It's fun > You feel a sense of accomplishment when you make something good > You can bake stuff for other people as a "thank you" like some brownies... ^^ And best of all, you can eat it.

Controlling Your Junk Food Intake
so you don't balloon up... (1) 1. Before you start snacking, drink a glass of water first. Thirst is often confused with hunger. So
if you drink water, you may realize that you don't need those fatty potato chips after all.
2. If you absolutely must snack on something, get something healthier or low-fat, like yogurt or a
cereal snack bar. Preferably, go for fruits. 3. Instead of forcing yourself to stop eating your
favorite junk food completely, get them in smaller portions. E.g. buy a small packet of potato chips
instead of a jumbo size. Or a one bar of chocolate instead of a fun pack. 4.....
