of course that's cooking! i can make instant ramen, and i call that cooking; i have set the bar in place and you are drifting high above it!

You changed the temperature of a food product and/or prepared it for (presumably) human consumption.

what Mekatra said.

I mean the definition of cooking is to prepare food by mixing, combining and heating ingredients, so technically making fancy sushi isn't cooking but Makin boxed macaroni and cheese is. XD

-U- and salad???

No heating, not cooking. Unless you have a heated component. XD them's the rules as laid out by Websters

:/ *snap* darn.
I guess the only things I know how to make are pastas,
eggs,
and fish filets I guess. <x}

Anything I cook though I make with stress.
I call it stress cooking tho, because half the time I'm rushing everywhere putting ingredients away and washing hands and tossing things and getting things, and muttering to myself, "aaa what am I doing?? What am I doiiing? I don't know what the hell I'm doing! Iiiii need to LOWER that flame and not paaaanic!" <x'D

I am considered by my family to be a good cook and that sounds fairly similar to my ummm... Creative process...

i'm the cook by virtue of being the least shit at it x''D

i usually don't cook without a recipe precisely because i'm prone to panicking. everyone is keen to get me out of that habit of always referring recipes, but i'm rigid.

just learn better recipes so others will warm up to them?

I only use recipes when baking or using an unfamiliar ingredient. I am a big fan of just combining things I Kno taste good together an hoping for the best.

i combo it. i get the recipe then i modify it to suit

banana bread is pretty much impossible to fuck up as far as i know.

Unless you accidentally put salt instead of sugar. Or forget the bananas.

Not that I have..ahem...ever done either of those.

:{ Awwhh banana bread calls for butter as an ingredient??..can I not have it though?? Or would I just use a substitute?
