Do you enjoy cooking?

No! 🤷‍♀️

Yes I do, even though I more frequently cook for myself. I always cook from scratch, and get far more satisfaction from preparing and serving a meal than from cleaning a room. But I think my recipes are rooted in the 1970s; I could pipe things to perfection, whip up souffles and hearty casseroles but nobody does that anymore.

I enjoy it, at least partly because dh (who doesn’t cook*) is always very appreciative of everything, and isn’t in the least fussy. I couldn’t do with a fussy-eater bloke!

*but since retirement he invariably clears up the kitchen, loads the dishwasher, and unloads it in the morning 🙂)

I would love find my inner Nigella! Cooking every evening seems such a chore, I try and do as much prep as poss in the morning just to get it out of the way. Find slow-cooker recipes a joy for obvious reasons and baking always make me feel very cosy!

I enjoy cooking and am dead chuffed when people enjoy my food.

I do wish my family would help with suggestions sometimes as thinking what to have is usually the worst part.

Grow it, cook it, eat it sums up my love of gardening, cooking and enjoying the fruits (or mostly vegetables) of my labour.

Nope. I love baking and cake decorating, but find other cooking remarkably tedious.

I love it, I’m happiest preparing and planning meals.
I make all my own bread, butter and even posts and grind my own Indian spices for Garam Masala etc.

My mother was a miserable cook, everything was served with a big dollop of resentment.

Have been batch cooking for the freezer since 9am this morning.

Do I love cooking? I Wouldn’t say I love it, but I like food and I like experimenting using recipes as a guide. Like the OP I find food preparation therapeutic, especially when accompanied by a nice glass of wine or fizz.

I am not a proficient baker however, I have a couple of foolproof cake and desert dishes that seem to go down well.

Christmas cooking makes me smile as I have fond memories of making Christmas puddings, cakes, mince pies etc., with my Grans.

Love cooking and baking but hate repetition so I'm always on the lookout for new things. Since going low carb I've been learning to bake with different flours/sweeteners so we can have the occasional cake or pudding. The bonus is they're also gluten-free.
