IF YOU CAN READ, YOU CAN COOK

[hotdensestate]

Reading recipes is for pansies. I just cook stuff and it always turns out DELICIOUS.

 

The key is to smell spices and go "hm does this smell tasty in comparison to this? would I eat this with this?" and if the answer is anywhere from "eh I guess" to "OMG YEAH" put it in. Success achieved!

 

As for judging when meat is done, psh, that's so easy. Just like look at it and prod it a few times with a fork.

 

I think I have cooking instincts or something, shame I hate cooking so much really, I guess it's a waste of my talents, such that they are.

I might have a few days off in a row. So maybe tomorrow or Wednesday I can make this. Thanks! I'll take some pictures.

Only true providing that a person has some basic cooking skills; for instance, knowing when meat or veggies are ready, how to boil something, how high to turn the fire up, what kind of pot or pan to use for which foods and how to manage your time.

 

These might sound like moronic things, but I swear to God one of my flatmates' idea of "cooking" is putting rice in a pot (no water!), turning the gas all the way up and then leaving the kitchen for fifteen minutes, only to find me & another flatmate LITERALLY extinguishing her food. Her rice was on fire. And this is a 23-year old we're talking about! :D

 

Other than that I believe most simple to medium difficulty recipes can be managed by reading carefully and practicing a lot. Same goes for some more tricky recipes.

[Prospekt.]

I spy a sexy chef.

 

 

But yeah I can't cook worth shit. I can make pretty decent pasta, but that's about it. :(

Hmm, yes, but did she READ the directions before she did that? :whistle:
