Anybody else hate people who dont make an effort when they cook?
I haven't seen many people who don't take genuine pride in the food they prepare for themselves and for others but of the few I have seen, it repulses me. Its not like I'm spoiled and expect to be served cuisine if I'm eating as a guest at someone's house, hell, this isn't even about the food I eat. Every meal I eat, prepared by myself or not, is pretty damn tasty. I'm talking about people who cook meals, but take absolutely no pride or make no effort in making the food look or taste good at all, now I don't mean put edible flowers on the plate for decorative purposes or some shit, I just mean, how difficult is it to make sure your food isn't dried out and gross looking? Especially if you're cooking dinner for people other than yourself. It makes me angry and annoyed when people, even those in their late twenties or older, either don't know how the fuck to cook or don't care to make an effort when they cook. I'm 19 years old, and take pride in every meal I cook. Everytime I cook something, I always ask my boyfriend if he liked it, how the flavours were, if I should cook it differently next time. Everyone I've ever cooked for has complimented me on the flavours and textures of my food and some have asked for recipes. I make a pretty bad ass lasagne dish, cannaloni and gnocci aswell. I love italian pasta dishes and rich, creamy, tangy flavours. I love to experiment with spices and sauces to get the perfect balanceof flavour and I always make sure my food is never dry and tasteless. I can make a few tasty desserts too. Vanilla souffle, bread & butter pudding, chocolate tart, cheesecake, baked orange pudding, toffee pudding, the list goes on. I'm not a fantastic cook at every single thing I attempt and wouldn't be cooking fillet steaks for the family anytime soon but I sure do take pride in what I do know how to cook but some people are just so fucking lazy and pathetic when it comes to cooking food. I've seen people throw all sorts of weird shit into a pot, boil it and call it stew. No flavour, no texture, nothing. Also, I've seen people attempt mac and cheese, thinking one egg is a suitable substitute for cheese sauce or white sauce. IT IS NOT. Pasta dishes need some sortof sauce, especially before they get baked, otherwise you end up with a rock hard pasta cake. I can't understand why people would be too lazy to do cook properly, or atleast be willing to learn? Does anyone else feel this way?
