Do you like to cook by yourself or with someone?


You're welcome sweetie. I love to cook with someone! My girlfriend and I cook together almost every night. After a long day at school for me and work for her it is a great time away from the TV to talk and catch up. Plus who doesn't love the smell of delicious food cooking! 😆 Just like you and your dad I cooked with my mom when I was younger. You don't want to eat anything my dad makes lol. He could burn a grilled cheese black and yet manage to have not melted the cheese on the inside. That's some real talent there. 😆 My mom is a great cook and that's pretty much where I learned everything. I still make some of her recipes to this day and help out in the kitchen when we have family holidays. 💜
@_Maya_ Cooking-wise, it sounds like your parents are a carbon copy of my parents. My dad can handle making toast in the toaster, but I wouldn't trust him to make a grilled cheese to save his life. π But my mom is a great cook too and she taught me and my brother how to cook from a young age. I think cooking is a really important life skill to have, and I'm forever grateful my mom taught me how to cook for myself. I still make some of her recipes too, mostly because it reminds me of her and the times we spent in the kitchen together whenever I make them. π Good times.
@Adventurer23 Lol exactly. My dad even looks clueless in the kitchen like he tries for that look π

aww thats sweet that your girlfriend and you cook together almost every day βΊοΈ
oh my gosh the smell makes me so hungry sometimes and then it feels like it takes foreverrrrr to be done π©ππ
at least your dad trys his best π im not that good without my dad helping me and i think i would mess up the grilled cheese to π thats sweet that you use your moms recipes to! βΊοΈβ€οΈ she seems so nice βΊοΈ sometimes i wonder if my mom was a good cook to β€οΈ
π i would be like ok now watch the bread so it doesn't to brown and lower the heat if it does! ππ
your welcome βΊοΈβ€οΈ
It depends on what it is I'm making. Grilled cheese? By myself is no problem. Something like chicken fajitas? Yeah, I need help with that. I at least do prep cook while mom gets other things done for the recipe.
thats nice that you prep cook for your mom βΊοΈ its hard for me to make stuff without my dad but im trying to get better to βΊοΈ
I love cooking together with my wife and especially because I'm horrible at multi-tasking. When I cook alone, I generally have to go full-blown mise en place and have everything all prepped in advance:

Otherwise I start cooking and realize I forgot to chop up certain veggies or something like that mid-way and then I start chopping the veggies but then the water is boiling too much and water is spilling and it just turns into a complete mess. 😂
So with my wife helping me, I can generally wing it a lot more. If I forgot something mid-way, she can get on it and I can keep my attention focused on what I'm doing.
Sometimes my wife leads as well. Then she's like, "I need onions," Me: "On it!" Makes things very efficient.
I typically cook alone, but I much prefer to cook with someone. I like the teamwork and feelings of closeness it can create. Besides, it's just fun! 😊
Keep cooking with your dad though! Those are good bonding times, and that time together creates good memories to look back upon as you get older, I assure you. Plus, I'm sure he enjoys spending time with you as much as you do with him. It's always nice to have those little things to do together. 🙂
yeah! βΊοΈ its fun to do something together and there's a lot of teamwork in it to getting all the things ready and following all the steps βΊοΈ ill definitely keep cooking with my dad for sure βΊοΈβ€οΈ
@strawberrypancake Haha. That's good! Cooking is a really good life skill to have, and you'll learn how to do more the more you do it, and the more you push yourself to learn new things over time. Just know there are never any mistakes, and that it's all just a learning process. The key is to just have fun, because as long as you're having fun that's all that matters! I think that's great you enjoy it. Good times all around! π

I'm good either way. I like when my daughter helps me cook things too or when she sends me a text and says dinner is ready when I get home from work.
I make certain meals really well and if it's on the weekend some of my buddies often show-up and bring their wives/girlfriends.
aw thats nice your daughter helps βΊοΈ and sometimes a big party is fun to βΊοΈ
I have had to learn to cook myself after I moved out on my own. My mom did teach me a little after because I didn't want to always eat hungry mans lol. I have basic cooking skills now not great but not bad. I wouldn't say I enjoy cooking but I'm sure I would have fun doing it with someone.
aw thats nice that your mom helped βΊοΈ and thats good that your cooking skills aren't bad to βΊοΈ i like cooking with my dad because its fun and its a good way to practice to
I live on my own and most of time I cook for myself. I do invite friends and family over now and then so I can cook larger meals. When I cook for myself, I tend to batch cook and with friends random stuff
thats nice you make bigger meals for your friends βΊοΈ cooking with friends is fun to
Yeah itβs a laugh getting everyone into the kitchen and helping out.
Yep @_Maya_ is pretty awesome. Your dad loves cooking with you, too, I'm sure.
yeah she's awesome and she's a amazing friend to βΊοΈβ€οΈ and my dad always has a good time cooking with me to and i like cooking with him β€οΈβΊοΈ
I usually cook by myself but like to cook for other people. Sometimes when I cook with other people in the kitchen we start arguing, like when I cook with my brother or one of my old friends. The other night it was raining and I wanted a bbq hot dog, so I did this haha

White trash barbeque
I can't say. I've never cooked with someone. I'm sure I've helped mom a few times for a few minutes but, that's not really cooking.
aww π₯Ί at least you help your mom βΊοΈ im sure she likes that to βΊοΈ
Yeah, I'm sure she did. She sure couldn't trust my brother or ex-sisters to help! My brother would've put all kinds of spices into everything and cooked half of it in beer!!
Yeah cooking with other people can be fun if you like the same foods/ingredients.
yeah βΊοΈ its fun when you make something thats really tasty or sweet βΊοΈ
Depends on what is cooking. I am pretty organized so can do it alone, but some tasks are more enjoyable with others.
yeah! sometimes its a lot of organizing to get all the ingredients and stuff together to
I don't like to cook :D
If we cook together, then I prefer to be a helper not a master cook.
I am the worst at cooking lmao, I remember I almost burnt my house down trying to cook 💀
so basically I gotta have someone to cook with
oh my gosh! π³ do you remember what you were cooking
By myself. If my wife is watching she tells me everything I am doing wrong.
I prefer to cook by myself. I like company. Just stay out of my kitchen.
I really like cooking with someone it makes it less boring.
I like teaching my kids how to cook. Anyone else can get the fuck out of my way tbh
Either way is good with me.
I like both 😂
Both or baking is even better.
Usually with my kids
awww thats sweet βΊοΈβ€οΈ
Not by myself
