There seems to be a lot of drama that goes on in the kitchen when a meal is being prepared. But, man, the results are delicious. I wonder if the drama is necessary. Is anyone an unemotional cook?

I’m happy as a clam and love to have little helpers to teach my recipes to.

I’m an unemotional cook because I don’t cook.

I guess I can go either way. If I am by myself, I just do it to get it done. If I am cooking for others, I am usually pretty happy. No drama though, except for making the kids do the dishes. Then, bring on the theatrics!
Ha! I think it’s risky to have drama in the kitchen; especially if you’re not the cook. If you piss of the cook, they could spit in your food.

honestly dont care abt cooking really, sorry. i guess bcoz of amotivation and so on apathy. and, well, before antipsychotics i didn’t really care about food as much, now after taking meds i shamefully raid the kitchen. its embarrassing.
I live alone so no drama in the kitchen

My girlfriend got me into cooking. It’s kinda fun now. At different times, if I wanted to cook something like a cut of inexpensive pork, I had to do it in a convection oven. Sometimes all I had was a microwave, so no cooking, just heating up TV dinners. But now we have a nice stove and oven, so it’s a nicer experience.

I am not dramatic in the kitchen.
Sometimes I get it wrong but often I do not.
I made a aweful carrot bread the other week because I put olive oil in it instead of vegetable oil and the olive oil was over powering in a bad way.
The last two days I succeeded.
I made egg n curry salad and potato salad and a mudcake that were all enjoyable.
I am not overly keen on cooking for myself only but now I have others to cook for which I enjoy.
I have even tried some new recipes this last year.
One cafe I worked at was a bit of drama as the woman owner would scream Fu## so loud the customers could hear her.
Like a female Gordon Ramsey in some ways.
I liked working for her though and did not mind her temper strangely enough.
It has its charm and I did not take it personally.
Another cafe I worked at I enjoyed too.
Another take away shop I went mute and could not move my body so the customers were telling me what change they should have and what they ordered but I could not move.
I was fired after one day.
When my man and I cook together I usually let him direct me and assist him.
The kitchen is his pride and joy as he made it.
Sometimes he assists me too.
No dramazzz here and now in our kitchen.
I still am improving though as I forget where he likes something’s stored etc
I prefer cooking alone. i’m happy alone. Sometimes I can get stressed with others in the kitchen.
That’s why I’m so nice at restaurants and fast food places… I’m worried they going to spit on my food

A while back I accidentally sliced my finger on the kitchen knife. I got very dramatic. Does that count.
I did that once. I was alone and talk about being a big baby. Sheeesh. I called a friend for comfort.

I’m still pissed about how my cooking got shafted one day years back. In my case, I want to hear that I did it right.

Cooking usually isn’t dramatic for me. It’s so routine that I don’t bat an eye at much in the kitchen anymore.

That’s how I wish it were here.
I know some people who tend to get very rushed when cooking, and frustrated if the person helping them isn’t helping fast or correct.
I tend to be a very un-emotional cook. Things take the time they take. But I do prefer to cook alone.
