Any grown or mature person should know how to cook. There is no excuse not to learn.

for people who know how to cook and who understand that it's not that difficult, it isn't a big deal, but for people who cannot cook, like me months ago, it is pretty impressive.

As a professional chef is sort of fun to read all these comments, i always take my cooking "skills" for granted, but lately in TL and in real life i am seeing more and more people who just do not have clue one about food whatsoever. It boggles my mind that so many people can be ignorant of such a basic pillar of civilization, to say nothing of the artistic and or pleasurable aspects of cooking. But the one thing i have yet to hear any man mention is propbably the most important reason to have at least a modicum of cooking skills is this:

If you cook for a girl she will be impressed. this is a good thing, trust me, i have a lot of experience with this one.

That this aspect is so overlooked in this thread makes me want to make a guide to cooking dinner for potential love interests. Figure it'll be my way of giving back to the world.

Alton Brown is certainly a revelation to the home cook. I think he would probably appeal to many of the people here because like someone pointed out earlier, most SC players don't only want to know how but why. It is frustrating to open a cookbook and basically just see a list of demands with no explanation. Sure you can make that specific dish, but it is impractical to open a cookbook every time a meal needs to be made. Honestly when most chefs are pressed they would tell you their home meals are a protein with carbs and and a veggie/fruit. Mario Batali recently said something to that effect on the Daily Show last week.

If there's one thing I learned from three years of culinary school, it's that if you can read a recipe, you can make it.

Making food isn't a big deal for me, I find it quite easy making stuff that I remember and for anything else theres recipes and common sense.

Too bad being a chef was shit and in the end all I got from the three years of culinary school was well... nothing.

Where do you work? Did you go to school for that?

Why did you choose culinary school to begin with? Did you not like cooking back then? Have you worked a lot behind the line afterwards? Cooking feels great when you can improvise and still pull off top notch dishes. The more you cook the broader your knowledge is, did you really get "nothing" out of a 3-year program?

PLEASE do this!! I'm a college student living on my own and learning how to cook simple, cheap, easy meals that fill me up would be nice! Currently, I can make rice then I just get some meat from the store and pan fry it and eat -_- and eat like a banana for vitamin C.

Knowing how to cook WELL is a big deal. Just knowing how to cook is helpful, but not a big deal.

Being able to cook is a great quality to have. It shows you actually know some basic survival skills, and you aren't lazy. Most people avoid cooking because they absolutely suck at it, or they're lazy. Usually it's the later. You'd be surprised how many people don't even know how to make scrambled eggs. Usually, the excuse is they have no time to cook, and sometimes it's true. But there are a lot of people who are extremely busy most of the time, yet know how to cook. Society as a whole seems to be getting lazier and lazier. And I agree with Chill, cooking a really good meal by yourself feels really good.

Cooking is quite a manly thing really. Basic X chromosome expression:
  • Playing with fire
  • Playing with knives
  • Playing with food

Cooking is but a small step up.


hahaha this for sure

I should start to learn how to cook, any other than very simple stuff.
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

I learned how to cook about 2 year ago. From basic knife skills to sous vide. It's useful to know how to cook. And it's cheaper than eating take out every night. Though, the drawback is, you'll probably end up as a food douche.
