Can cook, won't cook! If I have to I will but I find it too time consuming. I have the attention span of a gold fish so by the time my mind wanders back to what I'm cooking I need to start again :/

I say i'm pretty good, but I always feel kinda crappy whenever anyone mentions an omelette. I have no idea how to make one, seeing as I don't like eggs. That makes knowledge like this pointless, but that doesn't stop people looking at you like you're an idiot when you tell them you have no idea how omelettes work.

Culinary school was my back up if i didn't get into any of my colleges, sadly i did and the rockstar life of being a chef is now a dream :)

If it can't go in the microwave, I can't cook it.

I can only do basic stuff, like tomato soup, oatmeal, and rice. I have yet to learn the secrets of scrambled eggs and bacon. Well that's not entirely true. I've learned several times, but I just keep forgetting.

I was the head line cook of a gourmet restaurant a long, long time ago in Lake Tahoe. Kinda miss it sometimes, particularly given my current career choice.

I'm pretty good. I cook almost anything, but my style is homemade with a spin that probably makes arteries cry. BUT I think I'm pretty good and I enjoy even my own meals. My boyfriend doesn't complain. Then again, he can't cook, and knows I'd make him cook his own if he did complain.

If your definition of cooking is loose enough to include Toast, Kraft Dinner and add-water-and-some-other-stuff-to-make Brownies then yes, I can cook.

I can cook, although I doubted I could until the last year or two and the Internet has been a great help! Websites like recipezaar.com have helped me be brave and try new things. I am still quite surprised each night when I make something delicious!

I made an omelette once, it was a monster omelette, and it was delicious. I can't cook at all.

Can cook mostly anything, but works best Italien style.

I'm a reasonable cook, most of of my food tastes pretty good, even if it isn't always exactly what the recipe says it should be.

I make a mean roast dinner though.

I can cook to a degree in that I can mimic cooking
if someone tells me to look in a recipie book and cook something it is nearly always a disaster but if I watch someone else cook I can repeat most of what i've been shown the only fult is i'm lazy and don't feel the need for a varied diet so I don't get much practice in plus i'm very inattentive, once I tried to make something as simple as egg & chips (fries to you yanks) forgot about it and returned half an hour later to find a deep frier full of black sticks and a frying pzn full of ash.

As a side note, I got into a cooking discussion yesterday with some friends (non-gamers) who said they could cook Italian food better than I could. WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!??! We now have a cook off between 3 people in 3 weeks and all of our friends are coming over to taste test. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
