4 to 6 (actually maybe 3 now that I look at the poll again more carefully). In my college days I had a part time job washing dishes, making sandwiches and cooking full English breakfasts for a staff canteen at a supermarket. I used to sometimes make a breakfast for whichever girl I was dating. I don’t do that anymore and my girl complained about it. I had to make it for her on her birthday last year. She insisted. I was rusty though but I can still make better eggs, sausages and bacon than she can. She makes every other dish well except for that. I mean it’s alright but mine looks and tastes better. Not trying to brag it’s not even something I enjoy and I’m not proud of it but we just have different cooking styles when it comes to this one. I do as I was instructed and she does her own thing.

Thought you said you was Caribbean? What happened that you ended up not learning to look? My girl said her mother didn’t teach her so she just watched her cook. Her mother is Jamaican.

I’m eating some chicken and rice at work right now hat she cooked up the other day. She knows her seasoning.

Between 6-7.5, I guess.

I usually cook only easy and quick recipes and nothing fancy, because I'm lazy and cheap lol. It also depends how often I already made it.

But I guess I have a good intention what goes well together and what you can do with simple ingredients.

I often get complimented on my dishes too.

Solid 6, I know how to make banging pasta and salad dishes. Some tasty breakfast/lunch meals. I believe anyone can be as good as a professional chef with the access we have to the internet, it's more about time and money, and whether you enjoy it ofc.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I think I'm at 5 right now. I recently started taking interest in cooking, especially in desserts. My best dish consists of homemade spheric donuts, with different types of glaze. I'm more interested in dessert recipes, but I can also make a few non-sweet dishes.

6-8. I try to make a pizza, failure at first because the dough wasn't finished enough, at second time its taste very well. but I rarely cook something heavy like that due I don't have much money to buy ingredients and my lazyness. and remember once a wise chef said "Anyone can cook"

There's always new recipes to try and I'm still learning though~

I used to be a zero, but I learned how to boil water when I was around 26 or 27, and since then, I've become at least a 4, although I continue to strive to become a 7 or 8. If my parents hadn't coddled me, I probably would've had these skills years ago. Fuck modern parenting.

It's at 5 right now. I can follow basic recipes. Before, I used to be by the book, literally following what the recipe dictates. But starting pandemic, I learned to make adjustments, and can make some dishes out of ingredients available.

Interesting that "6" is for 2 options in the poll. I've chosen the former, since I can help out and cook some simpler dishes myself, except that as long as I don't have to, I do not bother much with it

7 close to 8, I love cooking. I don't do anything extremely fancy but I trully enjoy cooking in general.

Also the country I'm from helps with how diverse our cuisine is (Portugal). Usually there's a lot of simple dishes but extremely tasty.
One day I wanna learn how to do sushi though.
“There is something in this world which no one has ever seen.
It is soft and sweet.
If it is spotted, I'm sure everyone will want to have it,
Which is why no one has ever seen it.
For this world has hidden it quite well, so that it is difficult to obtain.
But, there will come a day when it is discovered by somebody,
And only those who should obtain it will be able to find it.
That is all.”

I think I can cook pretty well. I cook dinner for my family sometimes and they say it's good. I also bake cookies and cupcakes occasionally. So I'll say 6 or 7.


How can they see the love in our eyes
And still, they don't believe us?
And after all this time
They don't want to believe us

I'd give myself a solid 7. I don't need to follow a recipe most of the time, unless it's a really complex dish. I quite enjoy my cooking and other people haven't complained either. They even throw in an occasional compliment once in a while.

I would rate myself a 5/10. Started cooking as recently as 2 years ago (?), made some dishes family liked but I definitely am no culinary master.

Between 2 and 3. I can make some basic pasta recipes (spaghetti and penne mainly, never tried ramen because my parents don't eat that stuff - heck I don't even know any decent noodles recipes) and can cook frozen food in the oven as per the instructions on the package (haven't made any microwave food though, because my parents don't eat that stuff either). I can't however cook eggs and haven't tried to either because I don't even like eggs (except as omelette, and omelette is more complicated to make than basic boiled eggs). I would ideally want to make some more complicated recipes, but, eh, can't be bothered most of the time.

I've always been interested in cooking, even considered going to culinary school. I didn't end up doing that though. Still, I'm the primary chef in my household and am generally in charge of feeding everyone. I feel pretty comfortable with cooking, but I'm mostly just good at cooking for myself. I doubt too many people would like what I make, as I tend to be pretty heavy with spices. I'm definitely not near a 10, but I'm probably at least good, a 6-7 by MAL standards.

Probably a 5 or 6 when I try my best? Not sure, because it doesn't really count if you rate yourself, others should rate your cooking to have a rate a bit more accurate and not biased.



I think another form of bias would come from friends and family telling you its good just to make sure they don't hurt your feelings.

OT

8 according to my parents sometimes i put too much spice or salt in food.

Somewhere between 6 and 8, maybe like 7. I studied at a chef school but I'm still not that good at making food, like I can make really fancy gourmet stuff but I'm really bad at normal home cooking. But of course I live alone so I make my own food 100% and I guess more often than not it's good enough to eat.

4-6 i lived enough time alone to be able to cook i can cook decent amount of dishes but well i rather my moms food to mine in every single category so not very confident about taste. My main problem mostly is the ingredients i think , she gets best ones possible around while i get standart things from market shopping is a skill too imo and its big part of cooking.Thats mostly where i lose i just get standart things from market while she knows every saleman in the bazaar and already rated which one sells best x or y and already knows where to buy best x or best y.
