I'm a cook. One day, I'd love to be a chef! That day is far, far away though.
Do you consider yourself a cook or a chef?
-
Um, I just follow recipes!
-
A cook. A chef goes to cooking school in my book.
I will never be able to be a chef. I do not have the ability to combine ingredients to set trends. I can copy, though.
-
Um, neither? Accident-prone would be more like it when it comes to me being in the kitchen.
-
@looch: I've had some incredible meals made by someone without training!! He was Italian though, so there's that.
-
@mrbee: Ah, a world where the chefs are italian, the lovers are French, the Germans are engineers, etc.
-
I'm just a cook.
-
Neither
I enjoy NOT being in the kitchen unless I'm eating things.
-
Oh a cook. Chefs work in fancy restaurants.
-
I think that unless you're classically trained and/or work in a professional kitchen, you're not a chef.
-
No not at all. My husband is the cook of the family.
-
I've done a week at the Culinary Institute - I'm a home cook.
-
Cook. A chef is a professional cook, IMO. Cooks can be as good as chefs, though.
-
@yoursilverlining: Yep, this!
-
You guys crack me up! I'm gonna learn to cook and then I will buy myself a chef's hat!!
-
@mrbee: like this?
-
Short order cook who caters to my toddler's needs.
-
A home cook! I love it, though, and if I ever had the chance, I would definitely go to culinary school-even if just for fun!
-
Home cook for sure. I am nowhere close to the pro-status of a chef
-
Neither! I'm a baker, but only on holidays and/or when I have a craving for cookie or cake batter.
-
Cook and a baker!
-
Ya, chefs are professionals, but ok, buy a hat!
-
Baker. Not a great cook, but I try!
-
I'm not even a cook. I can prepare edible food most of the time.
I think of "chef" as a profession too, so will never consider myself a chef.
-
Neither. I consider myself a person who can cook if I have to. lol
-
@Andrea: Just kidding about the hat! I do plan to get much better at cooking though... it's depressing working hard on a meal, only to find that it tastes just "ok."
I have a few friends who have undergone formal training and it sounds intense. I am looking into taking some courses to get the basics down, and then obsessively work through some cookbooks.
-
Just a cook.
-
Add me to the list of bakers! I'd love to be worthy of the chef title though! I think that's a great goal!
-
coook!
-
In this apartment, I am the dishwasher, junior waiter, bookings clerk, front of house greeter, juice sommelier, and occasional sous chef (chopping only). DW deals with the cordon bleu, I deal with the cheese on toast.
-
I'm just someone who feeds my family (home cook?) and enjoys it. A cook or a chef is someone who does it professionally.
-
Chef. I only use recipes to spark my culinary imagination. I really enjoy cooking. And my food looks and tastes damn good in my humble opinion (and from what I've been told!)
I'm a baker too.
-
I'm more of an "assembler"! I am decent at putting things together, but a cook I am not
-
None of the above, I manage not to poison us and am amazed that I have retained all 10 digits.
-
A chef is technically someone with culinary training. I would love to have that knowledge but I'm definitely a cook. And a pretty good one, if I must toot my own horn.
-
I'm a cook who follows other people's recipes and then tweaks them for our individual tastes...I'm not creative enough to REALLY make my own food from no recipe base.
-
@autumnlove: Ditto!
