I sure ain't. I am however a pretty decent baker.
I suck at cooking... I think it's the fact that you have to watch it and at the same time you have to wait for some things. Good thing my ESTP SO was raised by a chef.
I like to bake though. Mix everything together then pop it in the oven and set a timer!

I can make a normal victoria sponge cake, but I end up eating the mixture more than anything else.
Apart from that, nah, if it wasnt for my family my diet would be AWFUL!!
I am a fairly good cook when it comes to meals, but I suck so bad at baking. I get compliments on my dinners and such, but when it comes to cookies- it's best for me to just stick to the dough. Once it hits the oven, it's all downhill from there. D:
I am a better cook than baker. With cooking, one can improvise and have fun with recipes or use no recipe. Baking on the other hand, requires more precision in measurement and a more scientific bent. Lazy, detail-inattentive bakers end up with cookie-esque rocks, brownie-esque rocks, biscuit-ish rocks while lazy cooks can still create pleasing dishes.
I find cooking to be a kind of meditation.
Cooking does not come naturally to me. I feel that in order to be a good cook, you have to have a good sense of time and temperature together and how it affects food. This sense just doesn't come naturally to me. People always say, "just practice" and sure practice will help me, but I can even mess up things I have done dozens of times.. because the temperature isn't quite right or I mess up the timing. Its those little "tweaks" in timing and temperature that can make or break a dish.

However, lately I've been excited about cooking dishes from around the world. Every successful dish gives me a little more confidence. My favorite things to prepare are Indian dishes and Sushi!

I'm a great cook when I actually cook when I actually clean the kitchen which happens only when I have cute company which happens when I etc
