My philosophey on dating always was : If the woman can't cook, then she's absolutely worthless.

So all you gals that do cook, you're tops in my book

Er, most women these days can't cook, and pride themselves on it...

OFF TO THE GALLOWS WITH 'EM! (but then again thats maybe why I had to travel overseas for a good wife)

No reason for cooking to be the woman's job, if both the man and woman work....

But if one of them is staying home watching TV while the other trudges off to earn a salary, the one staying home really oughta know something about cooking....

I think I'm starting to enjoy cooking. It would be better if I had more time.

A friend confirmed today she's buying me 1 kg of cheesy burek (always cheesy; meaty just isn't my cuppa tea) :p for Thursday afternoon. Ner ner ner ner I'm thinking of developing my own business here you know... Burek has to be patented!

Maya - the leading bakery chain in Britain

Do you do a Baklava ooo, maybe Spanakopita too. Also any of the rich Easter breads. You know, NOBabe there could be something to it- the Business part. Cooking. Find, only eat as well as you cook for the most part. Like the mix of tastes, temperatures. Few black Olives can make and break a dish. Kept simple as.

i can only cook Turnips,me rest aint up to much scratch

actually...I don't know that it's the cooking I hate...it's the cleaning up afterwards...that sucks ASS!!!

So what do you do when the dishwasher won't work?

Slap the bitch

What do you do when she has two blackeyes?

nothing, you already told her twice

sure i'm going to get a for that one

Couldn;t boil an egg for a time. Went to army (18 months) and became an army cook. When I got out, I could not make rise for 2, but only for 200+ people. I was used to big quantities (20 kilos of rise, 500 grams of pepper and salt, 1 chicken for the juice). I got used to it by the time though.

I cook quite tasty foods now (even for 2 or less), but the fun was when you had all that space in analogies. Have you every through in boiling macaroni (spaggeti), 3 kilos of salt? I have... and it felt great, although they did came out a little bit unsalted.

If I can cook something good, say a smoked turkey or this gumbo I did the other night. Otherwise cooking for my family sucks.

not really, i don´t know how to cook anything.... but it is necessary. someday I will decide when to learn how to cook.

meanwhile the women can help me out!!

Sometime

I enjoy cooking, but not everyday. I've taught myself and I'm pretty good, if I do say so. You can learn a lot watching them cookery shows....

I love cooking. It's very challenging for me but am getting better. I also kind of like putting my headphones on and cleaning up the kitchen.

Talking of cooking i was watching that BBC drama about Fanny Craddock last night - 'FEAR OF FANNY'

What a scary individual she was Or so she's portrayed (brilliantly, by Julia Davis)in the programme

FEAR OF FANNY Sunday 24 December 2006 9pm-10.20pm; rpt 1.40am-3am

Before Delia or Nigella, the distaff side of British TV cookery was dominated by one person: the fearsome Fanny Cradock. Dressed like a drag queen and barking orders at her assistant-cum-husband Johnnie, Cradock terrified and delighted the nation in equal measure from the 1950s to the mid-70s.

Brian Fillis' dramatisation of Cradock's career is based on interviews with her friends and family, and reveals the private vulnerability behind her tart public persona. Nighty Night creator Julia Davis cakes on the make-up as Fanny; The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss dons Johnnie's monocle.
