Since I helped for a couple of years in a restaurant and my interest for cooking, I can say, I can make many various chinese meals.
But looking to my brothers/sister kids or my friends, they even don't know how to cook, let stay chinese.

I'm wondering how it would be, yrs later, how many ppl knows the recipes for their own original food from this generation or the next one. Like the chinese soups are the most difficult, will these recipes forgotten with the time? Or do you prefer the food in the country which you are living now? Don't you think the asian food are more healthier?

i prefer eating my mom's chinese food. i live in the u.s. but i mean i cant eat pizza and burgers and eating out all the time. i love my mom's soups ...really healthy and lots of flavor!

I know how to cook and I like cooking. I was trained to cook when I was a boy, my parents were so busy on their work that they don't have time to prepare dinner for us (me and my 4 younger brothers and sisters) so I had to cook for them.

People who can cook have so much brownies points with their significant other. It's a great skill to have ... I mean nothing is more romantic than cooking a meal for your S.O. But unfortunately, I can't cook a thing. I even burn water boiling it -- sad, I know.

I guess my gf is just gonna have to cook. Or I suppose I could learn and we could eat crappy food for a few months after we moved in together or married. hahaha

i like to cook, i can cook curry laksa, curry chicken, hmm.nasi lemak, i used to stay in australia alone with my parent caring. so i m pretty talent in cooking.

I love to cook and learning new dishes everytime there a family gathering I usually see if I can help out so I can learn how to make good dishes for future causes

i love to cook.. although i dont know a variety of dishes.. so far, best i can do (other then instant noodle) is make rice, chinese sausages, eggs, fry a porkchop.. and other stuff i cant think of

should really ask my parents sometime thoguh..

I can't really cook and don't really have to since my mom cooks @ home >=D but I should learn. I only know how to bake cakes and cookies mmm..

I think all girls should know how to cook, because you definitely count on the guy cooking. I can cook and it is edible. Maybe it doesn't taste the best, but it is good enough. Trial and error and maybe a few trips to the washroom and anyone can learn.

i'm not sure whether i could say asian food is healthier. *shrugs* some are really unhealthy, too much oil...
for me, i could not really cook well, just simple one would do... hahah like egg, rice, vegetables and maybe fish. But the easiest should be instant mee XD
well... my mum doesnt really allow me to cook, fear i will blow up the kitchen

i'm chinese and the only things i can cook are noodles and rice!!! the fact dat it's my grandma and my mum dat cook at home so i can't!! but now dat i don't live with them now because of my studies so i can't cook nothing except noodles and rice and i begin to be fed up with it!

I don't cook much at home because my mom does all the cooking
But if I were to cook, I prefer to cook Italian or Western food, because it's easier and faster to prepare.

Too much oil?? You mean western food use much oil/butter. We have many steam dishes and boiled dishes. While western dishes are fried/baked or grilled.
And many various "healthy" ingredients, that's different talk then potatoes and tomatoes... That's why most asians aren't fat and have more old(er) ppl then the rest of the world.

Yep know how to cook and been cooking for a while now.. Need to learn as i did work at parents takeaway shop..

Too lazy too cook, most foods I eat comes out from my micro or just order pizza and go out to a restaurant. '

That day I settled down and get a family, I will start learn how to ccok from my wife, but for now micro rules.

I've lived in france for 15 years but I just can't get myself into the french food. My father is a cook (he owns a restaurant) and I've always found that chinese food is better

Ok by the way, i think that from all kind of chinese food, cantonese food beat them all

i can't cook worth squat. i was spoiled when i was young so i never went near the kitchen. no i regret it because its so embarrassing when you try. i can "cook" if someone told me what to put in and how much and when. LOLL

well i can only make egg / shrimp fried rice , and then make chinese instant noodles, and cook rice.

i can't cook. ; ____ ; the only things i can make are instant noodles (not the cup kind), friend eggs and rice =___=

I love my mom's chinese food but don't really try cooking it myself. Usually cook western food as it's much easier. I guess I'm spoiled because can go out to restaurants for really good chinese food!

I love both and can sort of cook both...ish...well...instant noodles...i can cook vegetables and meat..don't know how to do soups yet... i'll learn from my mommy sometime.. i can cook some "North American" food:...pasta...soup(from can)..random frozen food....lols..not sure if that counts as cooking..

I think I can only cook those simple stuffs like eggs, instant noodle and gravy. Well, at least I know some "basic" stuffs, therefore when I am home alone, I still have some food to eat.

lol i can't cook to save my life XD but some day i'll probly learn right now i'm much too lazy. i like chinese food the best but it's hard to cook my favorite foods so i usually wait till my mom makes it

Not really - I can't cook chinese food that well - except for the occasional fried rice I guess lol...I can make Italian food so much better.

Quite a lot, Korean dishes, Japanese, Italian, Jamaican, Indian, some Chinese food and other bits and pieces.

lol, I'm still trying to learn how cook fried rice. Although I know basic stuff like ramen. I used to help out quite a bit but stopped since I got lazy . I'm hoping to pick it up again in June since I will finish my exams by then and have a lot of free time.

Let's see, i am an expert in eating but c what i can cook.... i can cook fried rice... and i think it taste quite nice... i can cook curry maggi mee... i can cook campbells soup... i can fry an egg...

but i definitely love to cook... one day i will learn cooking skills from my mom... and i like to watch those cooking programmes on tv.. i feel very happy wathching it... anyone like me???

wow....stormee....a cook.....
its a big contrast to me...i don't really noe how to cook except maggie mee....
maybe i wil learn one day...i love my mum's soup d best....really delicious,,,,

i bow my head in shame im not a great cook, i can cook like chicken in oyster sauce, FR, Rice, Spaghetti, omlette and easy stuff but i bow down to people like my folks who can cook up a storm

I enjoy cooking, the only problem is that i'm still in a learning phase. It's a lot of trial and error, but I don't want to waste food at the same time...I try to experiment with mostly asian dishes, I'm pretty good with rice, chicken, a bit of beef, and vegetables. Most of it is stir fry. I pick up and flip through a book every now and then. I find online recipes are disappointing. There's nothing like getting taught first hand in person. I'd like to experiment with more worldly foods, but for now i just cook to survive.

i can bake and cook some american stuff but i can do a lil stir fry, i can do alrite on my own

i would love to be able to cook and prepare all the food my gran does..but sadly enough i can't... but actually if my gran goes on holiday no one in my house would be able to prepare the traditional chinese foods at the different chinese events.. like "year cake" and "white radish cake" and you know the other sort of chinese traditional foods...

i can just about make soups.. but not the very chinese ones where they chuck in chinese ingrediants.. like the medical based ones. cooking wise.. erm.. i guess i can cook them.. but .. of course never as nice as me gran!!

i can't cook all chinese food but fried rice with the egg and the meat and noodles. but then i can cook some western food like a bacon or sausage sandwich.

Well little things... eggs, pancakes you know... nothing extravigant... but I'm learning.

nope...i can't even cook...so i dont think i can cook my culture food =p

Can make some some light meals, since I've lived by myself. But I have no idea when it comes to boiling soup. Not the campbell ones, but the tranditional chinese soup that takes hours to boil but tastes so good~!

I can cook some Chinese dishes. It's not that hard once you've made a couple dishes. Lately I've been learning to make some Vietnamese dishes. I love Vietnamese dishes as well as Chinese food.

Still learning. Soup, meatballs, spaghetti, grilled potatoes, chicken risotto, stakes, and so forth. As a bonus, I can also bake stuff like cakes, cinnamon buns, and blueberry pie. So... anyone willing to share an easy, eastern recipe for a casual cook?

egg fried rice ! yeah thats as far as it goes and as for the chinese soup and other traditional dishes don't they have cook books for them

I learnt how to cook when I went to university. I don't follow recipes but sort of see what's in the fridge and combine them into some something edible. Usually, it doesn't end up to bad! I have to say, I am excellent at cooking fried rice ^^

I do know how to cook chinese dishes. It isn't really that hard, but I don't know how to cook too complicated dishes though.

I can cook. Its edible but not amazing.

I can't cook vietnamese food, to difficult.
but i do know how to make potatoes, dutch food. ..that's easy for me.

i've never work in a restaurant before, but my father is a head cook for a famous restaurant, so when i was young i started to learn cooking, especially when both of my parents work 10 hours a day when we immigrated to canada and never have time to take care of me and my younger brother, which i had to take this responsibility, which i later learn to cook chinese food, and later on learn to cook italian. which cook became a hobby at the present.

yes i can cook various food from chinese to english, i very like cooking and eating so i do it quite alot, also my parents are chefs which makes it more easier

yeah chinese food definitely harder too cook... i can do eng/italian dishes okie but when it come to chinese ... more basic than basic and thats it.... ^^;

most chinese styled seafood from cleaning to actually cooking and some other chinese style foods. i can even make good soup without the MSG

i can cook. lol. i can make pho(vietnamese noodle soup) and com chien(fried rice). lol. i want to learn how to make chow mein tho. thats good as hell. lol

I love chinese dishes!!AND I can cook some dishes.
