Depends on the day. If I have the energy, have no time constraints, and have tasty things in the fridge, I enjoy making an elaborate meal. Other times, when the fridge isn't fully stocked or I'm tired or cranky, it seems like a chore, I just make something quick. Sometimes, though, I crave certain ethnic foods like sushi, thai food or Indian that I really can't completely duplicate myself, then I order in or go out.

Passion, which is a good thing because it's my job to do it


i love cooking though and have gotten very good recently, my husband says my food is sometimes better than what he's brought in expensive restaurants, which is a huge compliment

I love cooking and baking, but it's a bore to do it for one person. If and when I had someone to cook for, I'd do it all the time.

Depends on my mood...I usually love to cook, sometimes though it seems like too much effort!

I have my a.a.s. in culinary arts so cooking is a passion. Even when I'm cooking for me, I figure that I should be eating food I'd make guests or the like.


I dont like cleaning up so sometimes this leads to stuff like peanut butter sandwitches and soup.

I like cooking so much I used to inivte friends over just so I could cook for them. I wish I could do that now but my apartment is sooo small.

According to my husband... the zoo
Chore!

There is an odd occasion when I like it, but mostly I don't. I know it's because I don't feel like I'm very good at it. I should have paid more attention to how my mom did things. My husband does share the cooking and I'm grateful for that.


I think the other reason I find it a chore is the cleaning up of the kitchen after.

I love cooking and baking, but hate tidying up afterwards.
