/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.11445302]

is cooking the best hobby ever?
>creative process of arranging ingredients that is in front of you
>not a time-sink hobby because you are making the fuel you need to survive at the same time

[Anonymous No.11445311]

As much as a I like cooking ... standing in front of a stove for two or three hours sometimes does leave me wondering if I shouldnt have ordered a pizza instead

[Anonymous No.11445336]

it can get kinda boring, but pairs well with other hobbies
i can workout, listen to music, or read in between waiting periods
or all 3

>find actual decent recipe
>have to spend $50 on ingredients, half of which will probably go to waste because I’m not going to spend all week finding other recipes that use them
>cook for hours to enjoy ten minutes of eating food I could’ve just got at a restaurant for cheaper
>leftovers aren’t as good as the fresh meal
Cooking is fucking gay.

if I had people to cook for, yes
but when you're cooking for yourself and no one else is there to tell you "MMMMMM" and you have to eat the same thing for 3 days and still throw some out in the end. then no.

ive come to not enjoy cooking much anymore from living alone for too long.
I get a lot of frozen foods now, other wise it will go bad, and yeah like you said, when I do want to cook something nice I end up spending 50 bucks and some of it never gets used.
>tfw no company over, ever

[Anonymous No.11445658]

Cooking is only good with company or a significant other around and the satisfaction of successfully cooking a new dish only comes once in a long while.

>creative hobby that's also practical
>helps you connect with others via cooking together (date/family, whatever) or sharing food with them
>naturally leads into other hobbies like knife sharpening, gardening, etc
>huge range of ingredients/styles to learn, literally always something new no matter how long you've been doing it
I think it's definitely up there.

>Attempting to cook with this little planning
Start with the basics first and then branch out from that, don’t make chicken broth for one recipie but instead make a big batch and use it for manny dishes which would have their cooking times reduces since you already did some of the prep

the fun part about cooking is doing your own thing with the leftovers. it's not about following recipes it's about adventure my dude

Following recipes is to cooking what learning the alphabet is to reading. You don't even know words yet.

>huge array of things to prepare, old classics and new hotness. You will never get bored.
>you work with your hands and use neat tools
>you can safely talk about it in almost any conversation, even closing the gap between generations and cultures.
>the fruits of your labor can be shared with others and get to know people. Food is the ultimate icebreaker.
>a practical skill that can be used every day
I'm very happy that I found joy in cooking. Not everyone likes to do it.

[Anonymous No.11448661]

>everyone on /ck/ sucks at cooking
>"lol using recipes"

This explains so much.

you'd get the fuel if you just ate it with minimal handling so, yes it is a time sink for sissy betas
...buying premade food or having your piece make it... well alright, now THAT is based

it's fun, creative, and rewarding in many ways. I would say yes

No wonder you ain't happy.

[Anonymous No.11448958]

I don't know man. I just really like that clear path component. You give yourself ingredients and the idea is to make a meal. It's real stress relieving for me too so I'm glad I enjoy cooking and eating what I cook usually. If I fuck up, I just learn, and then try to do better next time

Switch that to vagina and I agree with you. Anything that's not in the usual dinner rotation is good enough for sex because women have low standards.
