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.

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.

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.

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.
