I suck at baking and leave that to DH (or BIL, since he's the baker in the family). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746851 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:28:42 +0000 teamjse 746851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a baker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746779 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:03:04 +0000 swurlygurl 746779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I wish I liked making bread!!

That makes for a HORRIBLE baker!

I find something very zen about kneading dough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746643 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:14:43 +0000 ChefAimee 746643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree completely. I'm a chef (by trade too) and hate baking. However, my husband is a baker (by trade), and hates cooking. We even the household out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746635 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:12:24 +0000 Alivoo01 746635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: LOL! I can't cook without a recipe, and am horrible about trying to identify the imbalance and correct it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746309 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:42:09 +0000 Springtime 746309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baker for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746308 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:41:33 +0000 shopaholic 746308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: @Alivoo01: @looch: hmmm... I think I prefer thinking I'm being "creative" vs. "lenient" when I'm "tweaking" recipes! Haha!</p> <p>@meredithNYC: I understand! But I usually end up NOT wanting to eat what I've baked for sheer fear of all the calories! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746286 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:38:29 +0000 looch 746286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a cook, by far. Baking is too precise, when I do it I must use a recipe but when I cook, I can be more creative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746232 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:29:37 +0000 meredithNYC 746232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually feel like I'm both. However, I very, very rarely bake due to having zero willpower. I just don't need that kind of temptation at arm's reach, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746217 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:26:48 +0000 Alivoo01 746217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to do both, but feel like being a chef is more "lenient" for mistakes while it's totally obvious when you mess up on a dessert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746194 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:18:51 +0000 littlebittyhouse 746194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both but i feel i am a far better baker. I can cook well but am not as confident! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746188 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:18:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 746188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chef, but I like to bake too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746184 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:16:04 +0000 yellowbird 746184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chef! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746177 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:15:01 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 746177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baker :-) DH is the cook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746176 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:14:45 +0000 pui 746176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm much more a baker!

Usually the first time around i'm anal with ingredients and measurements, but once i go through the recipe then i know what i can tweak and change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chef-or-baker#post-746169 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:12:55 +0000 Bookish 746169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely a baker!

Do you agree? Which one are YOU? </p> <p>* I am a total Chef/Cook! I don't care for precise measurements - I like to tweak to preference! I love a good savory recipe most of all! And I feel so guilty eating anything delicious I ever bake! The recipes are usually just gobs of butter &amp; sugar! :) </p>
