[quote=Anonymous]This question implies I can cook now, which I can't really. Since graduating college I have - out of necessity - learned to prepare food and to judge times in order to get a meal on the able. But I still can't really 'cook' - I'm not creative, I generally follow recipes closely, I have none of that intuitive cooking knowledge that folks upthread have talked about. Cooking for me is a necessary evil because we all have to eat, but I don't particularly enjoy it. That said, since I at one point had to look in a cookbook to scramble an egg, I've definitely improved. Mainly through following recipes and trial and error. Now baking is different - that I'm down with. I baked with my Mom as a kid, but more importantly between work and academics I spent about 10 years as a lab scientist, so I'm very comfortable with precise measurements and following instructions closely.[/quote]
