How good a cook are you? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Third option. I like to cook, my wife likes to do the dishes. Perfect match!

Pretty good actualy - growing up with the northern kitchen, combined with quite a bit of travling, made me love cooking aprox 15 years back. So now im able to make some improvised dinnerscombining a bit of everything.

Havent had many complaints

Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

Me too.

Simple and unpretentious.
More like a composer than an improviser.
Or no, more like a guy who plays somebody else's compositions.

Especially when a novice BBQ cook decides to do chicken without pre cooking it first, so you get that wonderful delicacy, 'double crunch chicken' (ie burnt on the outside & still frozen inside)

No, that wasn't me...

Sausages are another - carbonated on the outside - still squealing on the inside (the tapeworm lava, not the pig meat). Boil the buggers for 10 minutes on the £750 gas/electric stove in the kitchen before even attempting to set fire to them on an open fire.

What?

Third option. Sometimes I love to cook and sometimes I can't face the kitchen so will happily nuke a ready meal in the microwave. I'll have a go and practically anything when it comes to cooking - I bake my own bread; hot and cold smoke salmon, trout, duck, pastrami and chicken; can make icecream; can throw together a decent chilli, cock au vin, goulash, boeuf bourguignon, sausage cassolette, ragu bolognese, fish pie, lamb hotpot (erm, basically I can stew stuff for hours in a pot). The only cooking I'm not a fan of is grilling or barbeque - that's not cooking in my estimation, that's a revival of the viking practice of outdoor cremation and while I own three barbeque grills, I'd much rather someone else did the cooking while I sat back with a beer and supervised.

What?

Nobody has ever said anything bad about my cooking, so it seems possible that I do a good job. I rarely disappoint.

When I put my mind and effort into it people generally like what I produce. Can't beat that at all. Big smile
