I am a fairly good cook, but for some reason quite a few accidents occur when I'm the kitchen. The scars on my hands are proof of that. Cry

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...
 
That's why its an art to be able to grill correctly, any meat, which I do very well. In the kitchen I do well also, I would have no problem serving my cooking to anyone.
I enjoy cooking.......And in the kitchen if you make a mistake, cover it with sauce throw in a potato and call it goulash and ur good to go!
LOL

Cooking usually isn't a big deal. Follow some directions, take things out of the oven, put 'em in. Pretty hard. Pastries are harder. Doing BBQ right is fairly intensive. It's the difference between typical BBQ and "surely this is a meal for the gods" BBQ.

The spectrum of named cooks runs from Ray Ray to Wolfgang Punk? Tongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'm a pretty reasonable cook - can make a hearty meal to feed that family - including a killer bolognaise sauce and some rather spectacular casseroles, but living in far more temperate climes than many on here (it's warm to hot and sunny 8 months of the year) I love a good BBQ - I can turn out a perfect steak from rare to well done - your choice, and my BBQ lamb chops and cutlets have friends and family begging for more!

BBQ - the great Aussie tradition and the perfect accompaniment to beer and kids in the swimming pool.

If I stick to the types of stuff I'm good at, I receive many compliments.

I can put mini doughnuts on a plate. That's about it really.

Somewhere between 3rd and 4th option.

I make excellent tortillas, tasty dressings/stews, very good goulash and amazing oyster mushrooms coated in breadcrumbs  - mostly when I want to impress a girl.  I use spices a lot.

But since I'm living alone, most of the time I'm doing ready-made foods, scrambled eggs and such.
