guzzlers-baps 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Do many of you guys on here do much cooking (real cooking, not just boiled egg!)? I'm trying to train guzzler, interested to know what you get up to. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The point to train men is to praise them a lot when they complete something! Cooking, cleaning whatever. It's like to educate small kids. When I am praised, I'm willing to do a lot more!LOL Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I'm the cook in my household. Partner cooks as well, but she likes mine better than I like hers. Having worked several kitchens in my younger years taught me the tips neded to do more than boil an egg. Faves: Mexican (Burritos, Enchiladas, Guacamole, Nacho's with different toppings etc) Italian (basically pasta with any sauce I can imagine) Creole (my chicken & Prawm gumbo is the bizz) Spanish (Paella with Chorizo, Chicken, Prawns, scallops & vegies) Roasts (Lamb, Beef, Pork with Honeyd Pears, Organic Chook with lemon up the date etc.) But my favourite cooking is marinated meats and vegies on the BBQ. Especially Kangaroo, marinated in soy/lemon/garlic. Probably one of the more flavoursome meats in the world. Very gamey. Also like to grill fish on the BBQ now and then.

marnix 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 We do 50-50. I do the pancakes, lasagna, Indian curry and Mexican. She does the Thai curry, roti, Indonesian and orders pizza. The main problem is we both don't like to cook. So it is usually the one who gets hungry first has to cook. So it is more wholesome and haute cuisine. These days it feels like I'm doing all the cooking. Time for a change! Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Love cooking!! Recently been into baking chocolate brownies, muffins and Louise cake (my current favourite). Dinner is usually a simple affair as Im often too tired to make something elaborate. maybe Thai curry, fried rice, and stuff with lots of garlic..mmmm love garlic Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Tricky one Guzzler's... In my experience, in our generation, men are more prolific in the kitchen than the women. Your only hope, if Guzzler likes his food, is for you to start cooking badly, or take the cuisine in a direction that's not to his liking..., failing that, just stop cooking half the time. (only don't blame me if he leaves you ) If Guzzler likes junk food/doesn't love his food/will eat wahatever... let it go, you'll never make a cook outta him. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 After spending 13 years+ working as a chef(6 years as a graphic designer) I try to avoid it at home, although not possible. I enjoy cooking though! Favourites are Thai/ Asian dishes, did a couple of years in a Cajun restaurant cooking Jambalaya, Red Beans and other southern dishes. Today I start a "cooking in English" class (not my idea) which sounds pretty cool, see how it goes. Cooking is only as hard as you make it! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I love cooking. I just wish I knew how to make more dishes and food from different countries too. I primarily base my dishes using the Japanese style of: shoyu, sake, and mirin. Pretty simple. I love cooking with garlic!!! YYYYYYYuuuuummmmmmmmmyyyyyyy Would actually like to take a cooking class Link to post Share on other sites

flipside 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 You should train him in basics first. I suggest things like Yaki-soba and Okonomiyake (gourmet Hiroshima style). Pastas and fried rices are easy. I am in the same boat as Yamakashi, need to increase my cooking repetoire. I really enjoy cooking once I start cooking. Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Am actually cooking a bit of a slap up candle lit dinner for a lady friend tonight, however last time I attempted similar I nearly ended up burning down a small pagoda where I was cooking (it was a picnic!). Thus spraying the lady I was with with beer in an attempt to extinguish the flames!! Needless to say the relationship didn`t last particularly long!!

tsondaboy 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I love cooking but I hate doing the dishes afterwards. Usually the deal is, I cook for you, you do the dishes. I cook Mediterranean kitchen and since I am from Greece mostly Greek cuisine. I do some teaching from time to time in a place in Omotesando but I am not professional. Mostly it is mammy’s recipes that I picked up back home. Basically I was forced to learn how to cook because my mother was working all day when I was a kid and she didn’t had always the time to prepare food. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I love cooking too, though in Japan many of the ingredients that my recipe books contain are just too hard to get hold of here, so i don't go too hard & just stay simple. I pulled the short straw as my wife likes cooking less than me but when her and her Indian trained mate get together they cook up a 5 hr 7-8 Indo curry storm that is well worth everytime that she doesn't cook.
