Thread 21647633

I used to cook & bake such bland and boring food for my sister. I've become so much better after I moved out, I wish I could show her and the rest of my family this. I've gotten so much better, I just want to cook & bake for them again.

you can always cook and bake for your husband later.

What'd you do to get better? Follow anyone on YouTube? Just straight up practice? Any a-ha moments? I don't want to ask about your family because /adv/ice exists.

Mostly just a want to make better food. I used to make just whatever without any real recipes, I learned a lot from doing that for a long time.

When I moved out, I started following recipes as I would go to the store myself and get what I wanted. I've spent a lot of time just failing at recipes, making them again and again till I get it correct.

Best cooking recipes I've gotten have come from those Youtube shorts.

uuuh why can't you cook and bake them something nowadays and amend your past failures??

>>21647633 (OP)
You can offer to cook during family get togethers? Problem solved no?

Oh we don't really ever see each other, and if we do its maybe once a year in some cafeteria.

My problem is I am a really good homecook but I've never really cooked for other people even though I often offer even ask to like cook one of the courses during IDK Christmas or something or like I'll offer to cook some classic French dish when I'm over at my brother's place, which you probably couldn't even get at most nice restaurants and like they never let me. Maybe they're afraid I might actually outdo their cooking by making something fancy. Either that or they think I'm a retard and I'll ruin dinner. I'm a twin so maybe it's a competitive thing and he's afraid I will outdo him in front of my sister in law and embarrass him or something IDK Anyways sorry for blogposting. I'd just really like to make some classic patates fondantes for someone else and see how they react.

I invite my semi-cooklet family for dinners not because I really wanna see them but mostly because I wanna culinarily dab on them

that's not a good character trait

Serves them right for being lifelong pathologic patronizers

I have this problem too - I love to cook but feel weird bringing a dish to a get together because I don’t want it to seem like I’m “competing”. The thing I’ve found is people will decline a main or side dish, but they’re usually fine with me bringing a dessert.
