Well?

Poll coming.

I'm not very good at it at all, I see it as a chore rather than a pleasure.

Better at baking than cooking but I'm OK with chinese/indian stuff... just never tried classic stuff.

I could be if I wanted to but convenience kills me

I don't know how some people can't even bake a cake :joker:

Big fan of food but the actual preparing/making/cooking/baking of it is just a hassle, takes far too long to do it properly and not enjoyable at all, hence why I all I eat is convenient foods where the oven/microwave/whatever can do all the work

I learned how to cook a few years ago and I'm pretty good at making a few types of meals.

As for baking, I've taken that up this year. I do like it. I've made a few different types of cakes, and I've successfully made meringues. I'll stick at it, but I prefer cooking, although maybe when I get better at baking and confident enough to stray form the recipes, it might become more fun.

I don't mind cooking and I like to try the end result, I'm quite good if I'm following a recipe but without one I'd be terrible :laugh:.

I cook every day, bake every now and then and everyone always eats my food which I would think means it's good, I watch a load of cooking shows too, Bake Off is my fav, yay Bake Off.

..I'm not as bad as I sometimes say I am..but sometimes I'm as bad as I say I am..I like to try flavours out together and sometimes it works amazingly and sometimes it doesn't work spectacularly....

Ive learnt curries, bolognese, fajitas etc. this second year at uni, pretty good although they are relatively simple. Cooking is quite fun :laugh:

Never baked ever.

I'm a horrible cook, but I try. :laugh:

I just sour cream or butter to pretty much everything and hope for the best.

Hmmmm, where is the 'good at it but can't be bothered' option.

I suppose I must be ok as I did it for a living for years.
Maybe I am all cooked/baked out, I just can't be that bothered lately, anything easy suits me.

Never attempted baking. I can cook quite well but like others have said I don't really enjoy doing it, I eat when I'm hungry so I'm never bothered about making these fancy meals that require a great deal of preparation, usually I just have a tin of soup for dinner, been trying (and it's working!) to lose weight over the last six months and I've managed to lose over a stone with just some better choices in what I eat, so yeah...

Anyone who can read can cook. I'm okay at it, everyone should be if they follow a recipe. However, I hate it, and prefer to sparkle in other rooms.

As someone from Yorkshire I probably should've known this LOL. I barely ever eat them to be honest.
