Women who enjoy cooking and baking?

[Anonymous]

What do you think of them? Are they healthy or unhealthy?

Healthy. They eat less convenience/fast food.

Unhealthy. They probably enjoy eating just as much.

[DodgersGM]

Probably healthier, yeah. And I think it's super attractive when a woman is into food, likes cooking food, would cook food for me, would love it for me to cook food for her, and would cook food together with me.

Food is a big part of my life, so I would love to share that with the person I love.

[Asker]

I like the fact that you would also cook for and with your woman :)

[DodgersGM]

Yeah I totally would. It's something that I really want, actually. :-)

Just don't cook from cans and boxes. Use as plain and raw ingredients. Don't bake cake from a box. Start with eggs, flour, sugar, and etc. Mak

Make your own frosting. Don't buy it from a store. Fresh is better when possible. Although its annoying to bike to the store to pick up fresh produce and ingredients every few days its worth it. Healthy as a horse and have no weight problems.

[Asker]

Just wondering since you mentioned it, do you think cakes baked with cake mix where you only add milk and egg to it are as bad as store bought cakes with a shelf life of 2 weeks?

[atomique]

Really depends on the baker. Some places bake with the industrial size versions of the boxes you see on a store shelf. Some stores bakers make it from scratch. Just ask the baker how it was made if they are not too busy. The ones who bake from scratch are more than happy to tell you or show it off.

[Asker]

People buy frosting? that's almost the easiest homemade thing...

I cheat sometimes. I use a mix of canned cut tomatoes and tomato paste to make bolognese sauce. Cooking tomatoes to the consistency of a thick tomato sauce takes hours. Besides, I'm not sure if any vitamins in those tomatoes are left after boiling them for so long.

they have found that cooked tomatoes are better for you than fresh. more lycopene.

@COCOCHANEL thanks for the info. ありがとうございました

[Asker]

@COCOCHANEL thanks for the link. so at least lycopene cannot be destroyed with heat. the thing is, it usually take many slices of tomato to cook 2 table spoons of tomato paste, especially when it's 3x concentrated.

Healthier in my eyes... or just have a lot of spare time. No, I am a lover of cooking and I bake loads from scratch using fresh and mostly organic ingredients to make healthy, nutricious meals as oppose to store brought food because I like cooking, it's cheaper and better for you.

[musicbrain5]

I think people who cook and bake at home tend to be healthier overall than people who dine out constantly. It's also more economical to buy your own food and cook it up. Restaurants and fast food are expensive.

[misscoffeehead]

I love to bake! Actually i love to cook in general! I think its healthier, you can substitute some ingredients in a recipe that you would like, you can add a lot of sugar or tone it down a bit.. Its better to know what is in your food then not to know what is in it.. Its actually cheaper as well 😊

[COCOCHANEL]

i think it depends on where they eat out and that they cook. for example someone who eats grilled fish and salads at restaurants vs. someone who cooks everyday with lots of shortening, lard and sugar.

[aamy811]

Yes. I started cooking in 5th grade. I bake occasionally but cook everyday, and all my stuff is healthy. Just the other day I made black bean brownies

[atomique]

I also started in elementary school. Who taught you?

[aamy811]

No one. Neither of my parents where good cooks, so I took it upon myself to learn. So that year I asked for cookbooks and started to follow them

[atomique]

Awesome sauce

[aamy811]

@atomiccarrot what about you?

[Phoenix98]

I love a women who can cook and bake. And by coking and baking I mean from scratch not boxes and tins. Cooking from scratch is also healthier to.

[nerdyasianman14]

Could have been a great question if it says like this "Women who enjoy cooking, baking and lifting?".

[Anonymous]

You can cook unhealthy fast food you know. Mcdonald burgers are cooked. They didn't just fall out of the sky. Just saying...

[Asker]

in my opinion burgers made from scratch are healthy. you know what you put inside (whole grain, lean mince). you don't know what is inside a burger from a fast food chain. just saying..

[thetundrawolf]

She has a point... The burgers I ate at our bbq last Friday were thick and very greasy. They were handmade.

[jointhepatriarchy]

I love a woman who can cook. :)
