    On a scale from 1 to 10:

    Cooking: 4 maybe. I’m bad at cooking but I can cook.

    Baking: 8. I love baking and I rock that way more. I take away the last two points because I suck at decorating cakes. I just throw some frosting and sprinkles on them. I love sprinkles on cakes.

    I’m pretty good I would say. I can follow recipes, I can use techniques and methods I learn from reciped and apply them to other things and I can throw something tasty together with random stuff I have on hand. My hygiene is more than impeccable (that’s the germaphobia talking lol).

    What I do struggle with a bit is seasoning when I cook bigger portions. I usually just cook enough for myself or two people and I have a good feeling for how to season that, but when I have to cook for like 8 people I always struggle a bit with sizing that up. Not an issue for most things because you can just adjust while cooking, but for stuff you can’t really taste before it’s done it’s not always great.
