So do you have good cooking skills...or do you find it hard to boil an egg?

My mum always taught us to cook...

I can cook most things, but if my son is hrlping I tend to take to lazy way out and use pkt mixes.. it makes things so much easier and quicker.

I'm a good home cook but I also bake, make sweets and pickle and preserve.

I lack the patience for the finesse that a lot of fine dining needs but you'd never go hungry around me and it's rare anything fails.

And I can cook basmati rice.

Sam is a great cook and everything always turns out nice and looks good.

I can cook, but not as good.

But I think its because he has more time. Like, he will ditch the housework and everything to spend three hours making food. Whereas I want to spend at most an hour in there.

I cook for a living and my other half used to be a chef in the oldest restaurant in London. Amongst a few more...

But we rarely push the boat out at home. We have to be in the mood to cook for pleasure. Its a shame really...

I'd love to be able to bake well. I can bake but not fantastically well...

I love old school baking like my nanans..

You got a knife and pan you can take parts of what he does and apply it to everyday cooking.

Next time you cook asparagus, gently poach it in olive oil or butter, put a lid on it and let it steam in its own essence. You'll never boil it again. Simple food science you can apply at home.
