I'm a good Cook , I was taught by my mother, and both grandmothers, I tend to cooksimple 4 ingredient dishes. My favourite dish is Cumberland Tatie Pot

This is days when you have a bit more time, this tasty supper for 6 can be made into individual portions or one large dish. Lamb or mutton cubes cooked with root vegetables, black pudding and stock and topped with sliced potatoes and cheese.

Ingredients
675g lean lamb or mutton shoulder, cubed
2 teaspoons oil
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 small swede, or 2 small turnips, peeled and chopped
100g black pudding, skinned and chopped
1 tablespoon plain flour
600ml good, hot lamb or beef stock
2 fresh bay leaves
Small handful freshly chopped mint
450g potatoes, skin on and thinly sliced on the diagonal
25g butter
25g cheese, grated
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C, 190°C Fan, Gas Mark 6.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the lamb or mutton for 3-4 minutes until brown.
Add the onion, carrots, turnips or swede and black pudding. Continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Season if required.
Add the flour and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the stock and herbs, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon the lamb mixture equally into six individual 300ml round or oval ovenproof dishes.
Arrange the potato slices on top like slates on a roof. Season and dot with the butter. Place on a baking sheet, cover with foil and cook in the oven for 35-45 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle over the cheese, return to the oven and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes or until the potatoes are brown.
Serve with pickled red cabbage and crusty bread.
If you don’t fancy individual portions of this recipe why not use a 1.2L ovenproof casserole dish for a large version?

I’m very good at grilling outdoors like steaks I can smoke a mean barbecue ribs I can smoke a turkey and I enjoy doing it. Inside I have no experience And not Much motivation for trying to be a cook. Just to be alone and eat it in five minutes that doesn’t interest me. But grilling is for family and parties. I can cook a good grilled cheese sandwich, though inside

I think I’m a pretty good cook. I make excellent jambalaya. It’s my specialty. I think I’ve finally perfected my chicken parm recipe too. I’m told I’m a good cook, but I know I’m not nearly as good as my mom and my brother. My sister, on the other hand, is not. That girl could burn water lol

I love this topic already 😄
My favorite meal to cook is a simple but perfect bowl of Japanese ramen. I enjoy simmering the broth for hours, tasting how it changes, then finishing with springy noodles, soft-boiled eggs, and a bit of spicy chili oil. It reminds me of tiny ramen shops in Tokyo, warm, loud, and full of soul 🍜

DryGermanGuy · Answer

I have my standard meals I like to do. Mostly rice based, with salmon, chicken or pork.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

As for being a five star chef I’m far from it & as the garbage I cook it’s isn’t bad & I haven’t had any complaints so far.

Static In Attic’s Menu…

1. Stuffed Peppers

2. Sausage & Peppers

3. Fried Seafood Lasagna

4. Lasagna

5. Salmon Wellington

6. Poached Salmon

7. Pear Gorgonzola Pasta

As for tonights meal I’m making Haluski & Sausage which I went shopping for all the stuff earlier however I think I’m going to delay that meal & make some Pulled Pork Sandwiches, with coleslaw & pimento cheese or something like that.

NathanDavis · Answer

yeah, been doing it since I was a kid so there's been plenty of practice...

the things I enjoy the most? anything that takes a few extra steps and have a bunch of ingredients as well... like a paella for example, something more elaborate

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yes, quite but, sadly, I have no oven to cook in. I like cooking pork roast, meatloaf, stuffed peppers, breaded chicken, bacon & eggs, crepes, Hungarian goulash (Slum Gullion), etc..
For the past several years, I've been relying on ramen noodles, chicken & rice, Swiss cheese sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, hamburger, spaghetti (on rare occasions), and canned ravioli.

ElenaLena · Answer

Absolutely, and I’m actually one of the best 😌 I love cooking and experimenting with different types of cuisine…also baking is one of my favorite hobbies. 😋🤓

Massageman · Answer

Yes. Years ago, we were able to make more complicated and specific-flavored dishes. We try to keep things more simple, now, and that helps save a lot of money by eliminating a lot of those "borderline" ingredients- (not required but good for enhancing the dish). Our doctors don't want us eating some of those things anyway.

Staximus · Answer

I cooked this pizza earlier- extra-virgin olive oil on the pan, fermented Calabrian chili sauce, fresh basil, and fresh crushed garlic under the cheese which was a six Italian cheese blend, with mushrooms and green onions on top. I used too much garlic and it ended up being way too strong, much stronger than the same garlic I bought at that store last week.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I'm a decent cook. I can feed myself. I can cook for a dinner party. I understand my strengths and limitations.

EmmaMary · Answer

I certainly like to think so, however my husband by far surpasses me with his creative and adventurous culinary skills.

RavVid · Answer

I just knock up basic food without wearing leather nor passing metal over the meal to thank the harvest.

AviatorTom · Answer

No. I can make food palatable to eat, but it's not very good. My wife refuses to eat anything I cook.

loveslongnails · Answer

I consider myself a good cook, not a great one, but decent. My best dishes are chicken cacciatore, French Onion soup, veal and peppers and any kind of white fish sauteed with various sauces.

4ngelic · Answer

Unfortunately not really, tried to fix that though

thund3rlight · Answer

I definitely am not a good cook, but I cook here and there, and people eat it, so that's a positive sign. :D I guess.
