Anyone can cook... Right?!

Ok, this topic is about our cooking experiences. Can you

guys cook, or burn down the kitchen? ;-p

About me, I can’t say I’m a chef :stuck_out_tongue: , but I actually like going

to the kitchen and inventing some new recipes, specially if I’m with my brother. :slight_smile: Another thing that I like

doing too is cakes and all dessert related recipes.

Ramen noodles and Mac & Cheese for

me!

Oh boy,

here it comes…

One of my very first cooking experiences came when my sister and I had absolutely

nothing to eat for lunch except for a packet of soup. Henceforth, I decided to make some soup…

Turns

out that I put too much water in it (which was one of the ingredients, mind you) and

it ended up tasting like slugs. You should have seen the look on my sister’s face when she slurped it… :laughing:

Ever since then, I haven’t been able to cook anything on my own, not even

soup. It absolutely has to be prepackaged or premade if I’m going to cook it, and

even then I sometimes have a few difficulties completing the task (though hardly ever). And don’t even get me

started on the stove. I didn’t even know how to turn the dang thing on until just a few years back… :unamused:

See, this is exactly why I’m so glad that they

put Linguini in the film. Now I know I’m not the only wimp, except for the fact that I’m nowhere near as bad as

Linguini. At least I’ve never set anything on fire. :stuck_out_tongue:

The only thing I’m good at making (as far as

food goes) are sandwiches. I’ll just make up my own inventions when it comes to those, and it turns out that my

sister really likes them (surprise, surprise). But, truth be told, I absolute

hate cooking; can’t stand the art, sorry to say. And

the funny thing is that I love to read about it, watch it on television, and eat the food, but I don’t like to

actually do it. It’s pitiful…

My sister, on the other hand, is on her way to becoming a culinary

genious (hence her new nick-name, “Remy”). She

[i]loves[/i] cooking and currently wants to be a chef and work

in Pixar’s kitchen when she grows up. Looks like we’ll be working in the same department/studio then, if our

lives happen to turn out the way we want them to go/succeed. :wink:

Oh yeah, Ive cooked… maybe once or twice.

:laughing:

I’ve said this before, so I’ll just be short about it-

Both parents are chefs.
I can’t

cook.

:laughing:

lizardgirl - That’s hilarious… :laughing:

I made fishsticks once

and they actually turned out pretty well. I cooked a pizza and that didn’t turn out so well… hehe

:laughing:

Oh man. This one time…I

baked a preconstructed pizza correctly for the first time, right? I was so happy

that I held it up in the air for my sister to see…and dropped the pizza on the floor. I was laughing so

hard… :laughing:

I wish i can cook. But

i can only make Mac and Cheese, a Sandwhich, and spagetthi by myself.

right, ramen noodles.

Ah,

hello Donkeykiller. Welcome to Pixar planet. And yes, ramen noodles are indeed really easy. Just as long as

nothing gets damaged, hurt, or burned.

When i had to go through college, I was forced to cook, couldn’t afford to eat out all the time so I had to

learn some recipes myself.

I must admit when I am cooking at home now, I think of Remy

:slight_smile:

Wow both parents are chefs, that is

a pretty sweet deal.

The other day, I was making Chicken Noodle Soup, and I

burnt the water… :open_mouth:

Burnt the water huh? I haven’t heard that before. Good

thing that no one was hurt.

Hmm , I can kind of cook . I used to want to be chef …

until my mom used it as an excuse to make me bake something with my little sister … ick !

I made an

awesome cake though about two years ago ! It was for my sisters birthday , and I had the idea to take cupcakes

and stack them in a pyramid ( or something like that ) to make it look like a cake . I made them pink , and

froted them with white icing . Then , I put daises and other flowers im the places where there weren’t cupcakes

for decorations . There wasn’t any left over , but I got one cupcake , and it was delicious !

I don’r

like to cook though , I’d rather have soembody do it for me . Takes away my time to be here ! :wink:

Well, seeing as my mum NEVER got “fancy with the spices” when she cooked for us when

I was growing up, I consider myself a fairly ok chef. =)

I make a pretty mean vegetarian spaghetti and I

put a lot of flavour in it: mixed herbs, basil, pasta and pizza spices, garlic, mushrooms, etc etc I’m totally

opposite to my mum. Thank God. The most important thing Remy has taught me so far, is to

taste the food when you are cooking it. I never used to do this before.

Well I love to cook. I used to cook with my grandma all

the time. Mostly biscuits and cakes and stuff. We even tried to make doughnuts one time too however they never

seem to turn out the way that they are at the shops.

I’m very good at the sweet stuff like coconut bread,

chocolate cakes, pikelets (especially banana pikelets). I even one day made a heavenly marshmellow chococlate

strawberry slice thing. Took me a whole day to make because you had to let each layer set. But it was worth it.

Delicious.

I like it on the Ratatouille website when you explore various parts behind the sections there

are hidden recipes. Yet to try one though. Anyone else tried one?

I’ve made a number of cakes with my mother.

Including a “rainbow” cake that had yellow, red, and blue dye added to it. Didn’t turn out so bad

except for the fact that the colors ran into each other, but it did not ruin the cake in any way. And who could

forget chocolate chip cookies?
Those turned out great!

Oh ya it was all black and

everything…

But another time when I was trying to make chicken noodle soup, I set the stove to HI

without lighting it first (or something like that). Good thing my grandfather was there. He told me it would have

exploded if he hadn’t stopped it. Because the gas was flowing but it wasn’t lit. I think that’s why…

I cooked a frozen pizza for the second time. It was cooked very nicely and then I tried it. Let’s just say it tasted “okay” .
