"They" say that when it comes to cooking, you are either a Chef/Cook OR you are a Baker. Do you agree? Which one are YOU?
* 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 & sugar!

I'm definitely a baker! DH is the creative chef/cook in the family

I would say i'm both, but i chose chef anyways. 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.

I do both but i feel i am a far better baker. I can cook well but am not as confident!

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!

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?

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.

@Bookworm: @Alivoo01: @looch: hmmm... I think I prefer thinking I'm being "creative" vs. "lenient" when I'm "tweaking" recipes! Haha!
@meredithNYC: I understand! But I usually end up NOT wanting to eat what I've baked for sheer fear of all the calories!

@shopaholic: LOL! I can't cook without a recipe, and am horrible about trying to identify the imbalance and correct it.

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.

I'm a much better chef, but I prefer to bake, bread in particular. I find something very zen about kneading dough.

I don't do exact measuring - I like eyeballing things! That makes for a HORRIBLE baker! Haha

@FutureMrsMcK: I wish I liked making bread!! Homemade bread is divine!

I like to think of myself as a pretty good home cook. I suck at baking and leave that to DH (or BIL, since he's the baker in the family).
