I like to learn cooking but it is quite difficult for me. Even though I have an excellent teacher, my Dad, I still can't cook well.

i'm agree with minasyu, i love cooking, but i hate cleaning.

Yeah me too, that's the bad thing about cooking The same happens when you throw a party 8) You have to clean afterwards So if you want something... it will cost you 8)

I love cooking, but I have to be in the mood and have the right ingredients. As for the cleaning up; that is my children's job.

Cooking is better :

for budget
for culinary knwo-how
for ecology
for gustative sense
for self-confidence and satisfaction
for communication

and

moreover :

I like cooking, too !

i like cooking and enjoy watching some cooking program.but i still haven't sense to cook a dish which can be served on the table.

Wow I can't believe you were 27 before you tried to cook. Didn't you take cooking at school, or cook with you mum at home I started cooking when I was about 6 years old at home with my Mum. I used to love being in the kitchen watching her. 8)

One of my sons nearly burnt down his brother's kitchen trying to cook chips. So I know what you mean. I'm so glad that you cook now though. 8) Do you like cooking? What are some of the dishes that you like to cook?

I didn't like cooking. I love only to eat. I haven't the time. After work I go to school. Every day I come at home at night. (11 pm).

If I had to cook I need a 30hours day. I like it fast and healthy.
By the way I can't cooking. 8) :D

DocAndy, I thinks you're wrongly about the cooking's question....as you say, you haven't a little of time to do it every day. right?? but me too!! I EVEN go to work at night and learning in the morning..so what!! you say will be take 30hours day when you have to cook...my god..this impossible to happen...I just take some time to handle the cooking ( didn't need as you say 30hours) hehehe...by the way, as the fast and healthy 's food can't exist(two) .like the fast food always have too much calorie..it just would let you change fat day by day....come on ..wake up ,guy.. you should learning how to cook by yourself and I BELIEVE the food's healthy...

Hmm... I cannot cook. Actaully, I would like to cook something, but do not know how.

i dont like wash dishes!
i like cooking ,but never try.
i just can cook egg .ho ho.

I like cooking but I don't do anything elaborate. I like my cooking but I get sick of it cause my dishes are limited.
LOL, I don't like it when the hot oil jumps onto my hands! It's HOT!!! Therefore sometimes I end up eating overcooked, hard and burnt food. I'm kidding....

i love to cook for myself very very much=)

Same here, welcome to the TCA! (terrible cooks association )

I like to cook when I was 8 years old.
But now I don't like to cook any more.
Because I hate to wash the dishes after cooking.

You don't like washing dishes, many...

I can see that, I am always washing dishes.

I don't... There's something called dishwasher... :D

I don't mind washing dishes when I'm in a nice kitchen. In a clean kitchen I tend to like my dishes washed after I cook and eat. I've been cooking spaghetti these last few days and I'm loving it although today I felt like throwing up when I put it in my mouth. I still liked cooking it though. :D

Yes but there are people who don't have a dishwasher in the kitchen.

NB : I have a dishwasher and I like using it as I like cooking.

NB2 : I don't mind if I have to wash dishes. Do you find it humiliant or are you all lazy ?

Humiliating? Why? We've washed the dishes forever at home! We've had the dishwasher for months only. But once you try it, you see how easy it is to do the washing up! :D

It shows that many people have never tried. Why ?

I like cooking. I sometimes did the cooking after watching cookery programmes on TV but i failed. my products ddn't look like the ones in the programme. and it smelt strange.hehe. I ddn't know why though i followed exactly what they said.

I dont like cooking. I always feel sick of eating after I cooked. But, I like cleaning, especially in a bad mood. So, my teacher said just made me angry, then the room would be tidy and clean. I love dish washing.

the only good part of cooking is when someone is cooking for you and you are just waiting with doing nothing :) . cleaning? well, who cares?.. :D

i love cooking, and i often don't like eating what i cooked.. but after cooking comes my biggest problem..dishwashing.. i think i'm just too clumsy..hehe

Sometimes I like cooking,but sometimes I hate it .

i like cooking but time consuming as i have a habit to clean the dishes beside cooking and too slow in preparation. For the dishes after dinner, my brother will take turn to wash it seems he don't know how to cook...

I from Costa Rica. Here, the most common meal is always made based is rice and beans. We called "casado", but also has meat something that we call picadillo and rippe plaintains. Also i cook pizza, chichen, and many others dishes. For a me is important cook " gallo Pinto" none in Costa Rica can't life without it!!

Hello,
I fully agree with you, I also love cooking but i hate cleaning.

I wish I liked cooking, but I can't cook so well, however, I love eating

I love eating rather than cooking...
But, I certainly would like to learn...
I also hate cleaning up the mess after cooking...

healthy and wealthy

In my lifetime i have cooked many many meals I am over it. I only like to cook for special people. I show my love for people by cooking them nice meals. If i don't like you, you can have take-away foods

I'm not sure what food this take-away food is, but I guess I'm fine with that. Please don't cook for me. I don't like waiting until food is cooked.

Take away food is anything you bring to your home that's prepared already. Mcdonalds, KFC, etc

I like a lot

I like cooking (actually started to cook at an early age )... and while waiting for the dish to be done I wash the utensils I have used and want to see the kitchen neat once the food is ready.

Oh i love this topic, i think is my favorite one!!! I was thinking " nobody is gonna talk about cooking?" when i saw this topic inmediatly read it...
