"So i can cook But I've always seen it as necessity rather than something to be enjoyed. I think part of the reason is I've lived alone for most of my adult life and it just seemed a bit pointless for one. Now I have someone to cook for and over lockdown I've really found a Passion and enjoyment from cooking. So my question is do you see cooking as something to be enjoyed or just something that is necessary?" Just a necessity I like to get over and done with as quick as possible.... .....yep I live alone | |||

"I really like cooking, when I have the energy! Some evenings it's just a massive chore though, and I end up having just pasta and bacon... But in general, I really like to cook!" Yes that's like me really all though I do try at the weekends to make sure I try something new or different. | |||

"I enjoy cooking, when the outcome is apriciated. Even if it's just me that's doing the apriciating... It's fun to experiment and try new dishes as well. But I also agree that sometimes it can seem more like a chore, and I just want to consume nourishment rather then having to go through all the effort of perpetration (and tidying up afterwards... )." I think one of the reasons I enjoy it more now is, The rule in our house is I cook he cleans. | |||

Although cup sizes are different in different countries. I think the US is about 240mL capacity. Australia is 250 because like metric and shit. | |||

Lot of cup recipes how big is the fucking cup lol " Once you have done it a few times it doesn’t matter , go by taste or texture not measure. Like when making bread, add water until it feels right, then a little more as you want dough slightly wet. Measuring doesn’t really help and recipes for beginners will incorrectly say use a floured surface to knead , but you shouldn’t. | |||

"No i do not like cooking. Quite happy with cereal or toast for dinner. Better things to do with my tine rather than be tied to a kitchen." Absolutely this. We're alive for such a short period of time, and I'd like to minimise the amount of it I waste making food. | |||

"Love feeding people.. I am from family of feeders, who wouldnt let you leave the party without a little take away box to take with you, as food was made in vast quantities. Same goes for baking. Seeing ingredients come together to create something delicious and pleasing people is definitely a source of joy for me. " I'm much the same. It's a cultural/heritage thing for me and also a family one. I'm mixed and two sides of my background place a lot of emphasis on food. It's like a way of showing love and care for another and I love it when people cook for me unexpectedly. | |||
