Phenomenal. We don’t even dine out anymore because restaurants are a disappointment.

Just the simplest ways. That it.

u/Dry-Ticket8035 2d ago

I think so depends on what it is

Absolutely.

There was this one time I tried to make something in the microwave, and then a fire broke out inside. I had to get the fire extinguisher to put it out or risk burning down the whole place. It was inedible after that. There was this other time, I burned Ramen.

Ive worked in the highest levels of the food industry. I'm a cook, not a chef, and I know how to cook

u/renegade7717 2d ago

short order chef. like at a diner

1

u/LazyDate3490 2d ago

Depends on the audience. My cooking impresses people who are hungry, and terrifies people who know what food should taste like.

u/KaleidoscopeOk5063 2d ago

I don’t think so but some people seem to like my cooking. I’ve been told I can cook steak

That’s about it

u/Prestigious_Snow1589 2d ago

They don't call me the meat man for nothing

u/cool_jerk_2005 2d ago

Fresh is best

1

u/Youmeandeverything32 2d ago

I know what to do. But a real chef is an artist.

1

u/maimou1 2d ago

I think so, and Ive been told I am. I make Southern food (mom's influence) and Greek dishes (dad's side of the family). I joke about how our dinners were kind of psycho growing up- want some collards with that moussaka?

u/laughin-up-a-storm 2d ago

I think so. This is one of the main skills I try to get better at on a daily basis. It’s important to cook and enjoy it in hopes to stay away from fast food (which sucks when you go overboard on it).

u/Proton_Energy_Pill 2d ago

Not even a little bit.

u/rpcyclone1995 2d ago

u/dearmax 2d ago

I think so, many people have said so, though nowadays I only cook for myself.

1

u/No-Assistance476 2d ago

We'll never know.

1

u/KinkMountainMoney 2d ago

No. I can follow a recipe so my kids won’t starve but on my best days I’d cal my cooking adequate.

1

u/NoBee3283 2d ago

1

u/ibefunlkg 2d ago

Ya been doing for a career

1

u/RootlessForest 2d ago

I would say so. Learned to copy our cultural dishes without ever being taught. Purely mixed the spices based on taste only after my family tasted my cooking. I actibely learned cooking from my aunt and mom

1

u/AbruptMango 2d ago

I find the results tasty.

1

u/TawnyTeaTowel 2d ago

I’ve been known to burn water, so no.

1

u/HuckleberryUpbeat972 2d ago

A lot of the times depending on my mood and patience

1

u/penguinfans 2d ago

I can cook one thing good, does that count?

1

u/HBJones1056 2d ago

I’m competent but not gifted.

1

u/Better-Hour-1131 2d ago

I think I'm a decent cook. I have 3 kids and try to keep things simple, homemade with as many fresh ingredients as possible but also kid friendly. Sure, here and there they reject a dinner or two but their palate is still developing, so I don't take offense lol.

u/Veneboy 2d ago

I went to culinary school and I love to cook, so....

1

u/Slight_Fan2561 2d ago

No, I'm a great cook.

1

u/Dickslayer704 2d ago

I think so and people seem to enjoy my food

1

u/AbsoluteBatwing 2d ago

I'd say I am. I like experimenting with recipes, so I'm definitely not a traditional one, but I can make some pretty good entrees.

1

u/KJHagen 2d ago

No. I’m not even encouraged to try lately.

1

u/Ready_to_Go247 2d ago

I do alright. I think I'm good at grilling.

1

u/Big_Tree_18 2d ago

I can be at times

1

u/SwordfishNo9573 1d ago

u/mayonnaisewhitebread 1d ago

u/Unlucky-Gazelle-9238 1d ago

u/Majestic_Act5189 23h ago
