Do you like cooking for the people you care about?

[Metalhead]

This thread is simple. Do you like being a good chef/host to your friends and loved ones?

Hellno. On rare occasion when it happened, it sounded like this:

But y'all would have loved my brother. He loves to cook for others.

I never in a million years thought that I would ever cook for other people. Then one year I ended up cooking the Christmas dinner out of necessity. My mum was recovering from knee surgery and both parents were ill with a cold. I still wanted us all to enjoy a good Christmas dinner, so I stepped up and cooked it. Got nothing but compliments for months after! That then kick started my enjoyment of cooking for others more often.

A big part of why I like being the one cooking at friend and family gatherings is that it gives me something to do with my hands and to look elsewhere while talking to people. Or, if needed, a short and accepted break from socialising.

 

[Masaniello]

I’ll be honest and say I enjoy basking in the praise and adulation.

 

[Forest Cat]

Oh yes. I'm not a great cook, but I try my best. It's nice to make food and such for loved ones.

Cooking connects me to a simpler time when I was younger and less socially frustrated. I learned cooking from a variety of female relatives we visited from time to time (at that time women did almost all the cooking). By the age of 10 I was cooking meals for my family. I really liked food as a kid (well that part hasn't changed) and it just came with the territory of being a nerd to want to know about everything.

I got better at it over the years and ended up doing almost all the cooking for our family. It's a learned skill like most others. It's one of the few ways that I have been able to conect with most other people, considering all the social impairments that come with autism.

Besides all that, has everyone noticed how lousy the baking business has become with bigger and bigger companies and Wall Street cost-cutting? It's damn near impossible to find a decent loaf of bread these days. There hardly are any independent bakeries around. So this is something I've been able to fix, by the do-it-myself route.

I'm sure Norman's mom taught him to cook. He loved the kitchen. That's why it was in the kitchen where Norman konks Emma Spool in the head with a shovel near the end of Psycho II.

LOL....I really did mean my actual brother. No relation to Norman. No bates about it.

I just prefer to cook for 2. Cooking for one seems like to much effort.

Leftovers are handy.

 

[SusanLR]

Never really liked cooking.
If I am cooking something for myself, I make enough for the second person I live with. He cooks more than I do.

 

[Masaniello]

I’ve occasionally had people over for dinner. They take a lot of cooking to make them palatable.

Tastes like pork, doesn't it, Mr Lecter.

Most of the time I am clunky and awkward, but I cook awesomely!

I love cooking up something fun, then watching peeps enjoy it.

It's my "love language."

I make most of our bread from scratch. It's infinitely better than anything at the local stores.

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

I love few things more than being able to provide a loving meal or sweet treat for those closest to me.

My daughter had some depression one morning as a young person, so l threw together an exquisite muffin of carmel, apples, brown sugar, and named it after her, it really lifted her spirits, and l could see her depression leaving for that day. So cooking is a gift.

Fresh, homemade bread. It doesn't get any better than that.
