Sadly, in today's society it is a big deal if you know how to cook. This is because most of us opt to eat fast food or at restaurants and haven't the slightest idea about what it takes to make an incredible meal at home.

Ever since I started cooking my own food, I've found it really difficult to ever eat fast food or in regular restaurant-chain eateries because, well, it's just crap compared to what I can make at home with fresh ingredients.

I mostly eat raw food these days, but basing cooking on starcraft build orders makes dinner rushes in restaurant kitchens seem far calmer

I have always enjoyed gastronomy, and could never go to the canteen. I currently work as an IT consultant, but as soon as I will have saved enough money I am planning to open my restaurant. And yes everyone is amazed by some of my dishes - as simple as they could be.
And yes girls enjoy it a lot. Especially in China where a lot of girls are more interested about food than anything else.

I can cook. Love to do it. For the lazy people:

When you shop buy foods that can be made into a number of dishes: chicken, ground beef, frozen vegetables.

Then do all your cooking for a week on one day, like sunday afternoon. Make the ground beef, refrigerate, etc.

Then when you are hungry\ready for dinner heat up the main thing and add it to a salad or microwave some frozen veggies --instant dinner.

Hmmmm...

One thing is being able to cook, another thing is cooking delicious food. In order to learn just the basic mechanics of cooking you would have to do it for many months. It helps if you've worked in the industry, everyday practice and good advice are priceless. Even a monkey can follow a recipe and prepare an edible dish, but will it taste the way it should? Frying a piece of chicken seems like an easy task, but you can fry it in many different ways, each of them will make it taste different. Average guy wouldn't know the difference, because it would come out exactly the same. So yes, knowing how to cook is a big deal if you are doing it right.

I loved watching Alton Brown's shows and also the commentary on Iron Chef. His scientific insight is awesome, though not everyone can take his corny humor. D:

I have yet to met any Chinese girl who can cook beyond the fry pan.

My girlfriend simply refuse to cook so now I'm the house bitch D:

She would do the washing and cleaning though.

I think men should take over cooking but women should have enough skill so they would rise to the occasion when called.

I personally don't have problem with cooking, I like to experiment and buy weird and wonderful food from different culture, this would never happen if I let someone else cook.

My house generally has the most useless crap laying around. That in combination with the fact that my parents didn't usually come home early every day made learning how to cook a necessity. There is nothing more rewarding that eating restaurant quality foods made by yourself. It is incredible, you know exactly what is in your meal, and it is simply a great skill to have.

The thing I love the most about cooking is when you come across something that *might* seem decent in what you're cooking, go ahead and try it. Back to the build order metaphor, if you feel that building a few DTs would make your build more potent, go ahead and try it. If it doesn't work, you don't do it again, or at least try it differently. Otherwise, good job.

Cooking is fun!

Don't forget that when men cook they are called chefs. Women get no further than 'cook' or 'home cooking'. Add that to your guy-girl divisions/stereotypes. (The only women to get far in the celebrity chefs stuff have to sell themselves as mama-cook types).

IMO just stir fry everything/cook all your meals in a skillet. A monkey could do it.

I'm not even talking about cooking a great meal. Just something basic. My lunch today was rice and some stir-fried pork with sesame oil and salt. That seems to be what's "impressive." People are even impressed when I make spaghetti using jarred sauce and added ground beef. (Nowadays, I'd want to try making the spaghetti noodles by hand and making my own tomato sauce using crushed San Marzanos... anyway)

I feel like women nowadays don't know how (or don't like to) cook their every day food. I know many that can cook or bake something decent, but they won't bother to cook everyday. If there was a pot luck they'd bring homemade green tea muffins but they'd never make themselves a hamburger during the week.

I usually just make rice and orange chicken or something if I'm not in the mood to make a sandwich. I like to think my orange chicken is better than Panda Express', but probably not.

It's sure as hell more healthy though, so wuteva.

I love cooking. Problem is I still live with my parents who refuse to eat anything interesting I want to make.
