Since I have been at uni I am surprised how many people of my age do not seem to be able to cook at all. I was taught from quite young and can cook most things except for cakes and pastry.

I love cooking. Do you? If so what do you like the best.

My favourite things to make are:

Roast Dinner

Fajitas & salsa

Pizza

Pasta including Spaghetti Bol.

I am a massive fan of Italian food and am therefore pretty good at making pasta dishes! I'm no expert chef but if you asked me too cook something I could have a good go at it and probably be successful.

I can do cakes, etc but I wouldn't really consider that "proper cooking"... I'd like to think I'd make quite a good chef but when I actually got all the pots and pans ready, I doubt I'd get anywhere fast :P

Didn't do much at school. Forgot to say 'Cheese on Toast'. Matt Garner has my recipe for that:) Might be simple but yummy!

Er, I can cook something and it will be decent but I can't really cook anything amazing. I'd have to make something a few times before it would be really nice though.

I love cooking anything pasta based & I love baking aswell.

I couldn't like 6 months ago but now I'm pretty confident in the kitchen. I could give most things a go.
