What do you like to cook? I like cookies, cakes, breads, ect.?

Question

I'm just not good with pies. Just don't have the knack I suppose. I think I'd rather do sweets anyway. Then I love to sample them.
Then I'd love to have someone else clean up for me! That's the only part I don't like.

Answer 3

I like baked goods OK, but I hate having to put them in the oven and wait...I prefer stuff cooked on top of the stove so I can stir and taste and watch it cook.

I despise yeast breads, though. I have no touch for them. I worked at Subway for a while, and I always made other people bake bread if at all possible because I'd screw up every batch of bread I baked. And the dough was already made! All I had to do was bake it! Didn't matter, though--I messed up that bread a different way every batch.

I like making pudding, sauces, soups, stews--stuff you get to stir in the pan. Cookies aren't too bad since they don't bake for very long and I don't get antsy waiting for them. But then I eat too many...one of the pitfalls of living alone. When I lived at home, I cooked for my family and now, I'm not very good at cooking for just one person. But I cook anyway--it's soothing if you get in the groove of it, get into it and focus on it. Stir, stir, stir...very Zen.

Answer 4

I like to cook and bake almost anything, but my favorite thing is to look in the refrig. and come up with a great creation from all the leftovers! I've actually made some pretty awesome meals that way. I can get pretty creative. My family loves casseroles so they make it easy.

Answer 5

I love to bake all kinds of cookies, cakes, pumpkin bread, banana nut bread, sweet potato bread, and cranberry orange bread, and lots of pies. I do bake non sweet breads, too. I also love to make fudge, and chocolate covered nuts, and pretzels. Yesterday, I made two pans of brownies. I have to wait a few more days for it to cool off before I can bake again. My next baking project is to bake triple chocolate- chocolate chip cookies, and fudge.

Answer 6

I like to make anything that doesn't require me to measure :-P. So baking's out for me, but I'd rather do the savory stuff anyway.

My sister is excellent with pies, she says that the secret to good pie dough is to add a teensy bit of white vinegar to the crust.

Answer 7

I love to cook just in general. Cooking makes me feel so good. I feel relaxed. I also like having a sense of accomplishment when I cook food for my family. What I like to cook the most would have to be, Stir-fry, anything chicken, ribs, and soup.
