I don't know. I LIKE to cook, but I rarely get the opportunity to cook well because I'm just feeding my daughter, and she much prefers hamburgers and tacos to roast chicken and lasagna and such. When I had more time, I had friends over for dinner fairly often, and always on St. Patrick's Day. (You have to TRY the corned beef, unless you're a vegetarian, but I usually have seasoned chicken or a roast available for those who sincerely don't like it--even though that never turns out to be the case, regardless of preconceptions)

  Corned beef is one of my favorite foods and I always serve green guiness of st. patties day.

Hmmm. Well first of all, yes I'm a good cook, a fabulous one at that. I would probably start off with some baby keesh for apitizers then prepare my famous stuffed chicken breasts on the grill, sauteed asperagus w/ lemon & pepper, and a nice summer salad.

Yummy!!

I am a pretty good cook, and have been branching out into more baking lately. In fact, I am making a strawberry cheesecake this afternoon.

I taught Gourmet and International Foods for 13 years. I cooked ALL day long so I don't particularly love doing it in my spare time. As far as whether or not I can...I'm sure you've all heard the expression, "those who can't teach"

My Beloved is a hot cook and baker as well as being a very sexy man. I'm not as talented in the kitchen as he is so when he's cooking I make the salad only.
When I do cook these are some of my specialties:

I learned how to make pizza a few months ago, which I'm still trying to perfect. I also make some great boneless beef ribs. (Is boneless ribs an oxymoron?)

Not many Family and Consumer Science jobs in Ohio. Not a lot of public school teaching jobs in Ohio either. I simply had to branch out to teaching special ed. in a prison I I wanted to remain a teacher.

Angel hair pasta and shrimp in garlic. This is so easy.

Chocolate muffins. Chocolate is my weakness.

Cooking Asshole's meals would be a better bet though.

Hmmm...

For starters I'd serve gravlax, pieces of homebaked bread, mascarpone and capers.

For salad, rocket and herbs mixed with torn butter lettuce, chilled mandarin sections, and slivers of red onion with a raspberry vinaigrette.

For the main dish it would be roast rack of lamb with mint jelly, fresh garlic mashed potatoes, and sauteed baby marrows, portobellini, and shallots.

Dessert would be homemade scones split and heaped with the Berry Thing (fresh raspberries, strawberries and blackberries, sweetened and chilled) and topped with homemade vanilla whipped cream...or maybe a Souffle Grand Marnier.

All followed by coffee laced with Chambord.

But I'd have to have my maid stay late...my kitchen's too small to do all of that without some clean up between courses!
