Are You A Good Cook?

None

Maybe one or two that your parents gave you when you were first starting out

A few good basic cookbooks, and you use them a little

A ton of them, including a collection of your own recipes

A pretty good diversity, but you mostly use them for inspiration

If you were having some friends over for dinner what would you be most likely to cook?

Take out

Frozen food that you pass off as your own

Spaghetti with homemade garlic bread

Mexican-Japanese fusion spicy sushi with fried mac and cheese

Seared tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes

Oreos

Cookies from refrigerated dough

Brownies

S'mores sundaes

Tiramisu

Pretty empty

Full of ramen and other packaged foods

Functional: pasta, rice, beans, sauces, a few spices

Overflowing with unusual items and spices, but sometimes you're lacking in basics

Packed: you have a few varieties of each kind of staple, plus lots of ethnic and gourmet stuff

Cooking a meal for someone? Yeah, right!

Familiar

Comforting

Interesting

Delicious

Your telephone

The microwave

The oven

You can't pick just one... you're addicted to appliances. You even buy lots you don't use!

Your wok, your mixer, you oven, your ice cream maker, your grille

Don't do it

Make it as easy as possible

Practice makes perfect

Never make the same thing twice

Cooking good meals is very rewarding, and much better than eating out
