About This Quiz

Some of us eat to live, and others live to eat. There's just something about preparing food that, if you develop a flair for it, really adds a whole new level of fulfillment to consuming it, whether it's eating it yourself or watching others enjoy what you created. It's hard not to feel good when you see someone eating a meal you've prepared and put hard work into. Of course, it's even better when people show appreciation for it and, all things being equal, better still if you managed to do it without stressing yourself out and taking all day to get it done. And that is very much dependent on your cooking style.

Maybe your cooking prowess could shame Gordon Ramsay, or perhaps your specialty is Ramen noodles and toast. As long as you're making food, you are a cook, though, and it never hurts to keep your skills sharp through practice. So what kind of cook are you? Do you express love through the food you cook? Are you a chef-in-training, or are you just getting by? Grab some mitts and see if this quiz is ready to come out of the oven
