Do you bake and/or cook? Now with pictures! [GA ENDED]

I prefer cooking over baking because I'm not a fan of most baked goods, but I do bake foods for others every once in a while. I'm think I should stay with pastries, because I always mess up when I do something big.

Do you bake muffins?

I love baking! But i eat low carb (no sugar at all) so I don't get to eat cake anymore. Very sad.

I don't like either. But I guess I like cooking more, 'cause I don't really like cakes etc.
Thank you for Never alone giveaway, sorry I won't provide any recipies - they'd be either too simple or too troublesome for me to write, 'cause I don't care about cooking so much that my vocabulary in this area is extremely lacking.

This is not what I expected from a thread named like that...

Does "baking" a "pinch" of swedish loose snus count? >:

bam

I have to cook, i live alone so i must to, because i dont want to eat junk food.
I have just cooked a puree soup of zuchinni, leeks, carrots, potato onion and garlic.

thanks =)

I feel that baking is too much like a chemistry experiment, I prefer to play around with things, and I don't really measure anything, ever. The other week I made a very nice rub for chicken involving cardamom, white pepper and cinnamon, but I have no idea in what proportion, or what else I added.

Easy recipe base for a fabulous meal:

Cook lentils on the stove, when they're halfway done mix in spinach and heat up a frying pan
In the hot frying pan, pour lots of honey, and a little bit of [soy sauce, kecap manis, worchester sauce] and a dollop of hot sauce
Now fry salmon in the honey, making sure to get it completely coated, and let it develop a nice crust
Spread the lentils & spinach on your plate (make a cute shape for bonus points), then put the honey-coated salmon on top, so it'll mix nicely
Enjoy

I once baked a fake pizza for a school art project, does that count?
Thanks for the recipe!

I prefer cooking - can't eat as many baked goods as cooked ones xD

Potato chocolate cake? How does that taste/feel? It looks like an interesting combination to me.

Anyways, I do like baking, I just have this talent to screw up pretty much everything ^^, so I'll just stick to cooking.

I'm a lazy cook, too, so quite often I just end up throwing together stir fryed veggies, couscous and tada, I have a meal.
Here's a surprising base I used for a couscous salad.

• Mint (Either powder or the actual herb)
• Couscous
• a bowl
• boiled water
• Ginger-in-a-jar.
  -ginger syrup.

Throw the couscous, mint and slices of ginger together in a bowl.
Add boiled water, so the couscous gets to swell up.
Stir the syrup through the mixture, tada.

I like to store it in the fridge for a few hours, so it becomes cold/the flavours have the chance to get into the couscous.

Then I take it out, combine it with slices of smoked chicken, apple, lettuce and cucumber and tada, a surprising meal. :-)

I AM THE BAKEMASTER
FEAR MY FORK

I like to cook, but I prefer to bake.
Usually I bake bread, sfiha, pizza and other pastries.
I pretty much only bake cakes when my daugther wants them....
Of course this usually occurs on weekends...... xP

BTW Thanks for the giveaways!!!

These days I'm just baking bread in my bread machine and brownies from a prepackaged mix.

Bachelor's whole wheat bread: 1- 3/4 c. water (incl. 1/8 c. vinegar), 1/3 c. sugar, ~1 tsp. molasses, 2 tsp. salt, 560g whole wheat flour, 1 tbsp. active dry yeast. Add liquid ingredients to bread pan, followed by the flour, then place yeast in a well on top. Set bread machine for "whole wheat". Press start. Three hours and 40 minutes after preparation begins (using the delay timer is an option), remove fresh loaf.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thanks for the GA! I love baking.
Had no idea by the way of the existance of the mashed potato flakes.

Bumpo~

Bump

I enjoy baking, but rarely have a chance to do so, so my skills are pretty low... I mostly make cookies, my friend and I had this tradition that we made special gingerbreads every December. Unfortunately we weren't able to follow it for the last two years, but three years ago we made adorable Team Fortress 2 cookies.

I'm planning to try a butterscotch-cinnamon pie recipe (inspired by Undertale), but I heard it's not that simple, so it may be too much for my skills. :D

Your recipe seems interesting, maybe I'll try it first. Thanks!
