Taurus moon/Pisces 6th house and I have a love/hate relationship with cooking and food. I like to cook but don't like the calories. Intense love of sweets (too much Venus and Libra.) Love to watch cooking shows but they make me hungry so I can't. Also, really good at cooking. Most the stuff I attempt turns out better than average. Basically what I want to do is fast a lot but I get to the point I want to cook a lot of some food and binge on it. I always feel better with a fast since Neptune, ruler of house 6 makes such a strong aspect in my chart. I like spending a lot of time in the ascetic Neptunian mode. IP: Logged |

Yes, I enjoy cooking.Omg I love the Food Network. I love Top Chef and CHOPPED (amazing show!) the most. The thing is, I'm a vegetarian, and the shows always feature a lot of meat  I wouldn't consider myself a 'true chef,' but I cook for my family pretty often. I guess it's Moon in my 4th house, Sun trine Moon. IP: Logged |

I have a cancer moon, natural 4th house is my 7th house so I really love home food.Not so much on fast foods.I'll bring home packed lunch everyday at work. I have a shelf full of recipe books at home

hmmmmm..definitely a love/hate relationship you got going there starlight! I enjoy cooking as a means to release stress. When I'm baking a cake or innovating a new dish I give my all so that the end product gives me immense satisfaction...of course, I also enjoy eating good food! IP: Logged |

Yes I love to cook, the only astrological association with my Sun/Jupiter in Cancer that makes sense. Innovating or substituting food items with other things is fairly easily for me. I have been a vegan, a vegetarian and back to a flexitarian. Accommodating things according to other people's diet and taste buds is easy for me. I don't watch cooking shows, I just read food blog or pinterest pins.

Do you like cooking for others? What about restaurants and going out to eat? I love cakes but dread the calories! Why can't we live in a world where we can eat and eat and never gain weight? It would be perfect. I like thinking and dreaming about food and have a bit of a food obsession going but if I obsess too much, I will want to do a lot of cooking and eating all of it afterward lol. I wish I could just eat a tiny crumb and stop there. It's feast or famine! IP: Logged |

I'm not into cooking, there are so many more interesting things to do. I wouldn't mind watching cooking shows when I'm hungry But I never do it. Once a few months I'll watch a video on youtube out of boredom and that's it. Maybe it's my Aquarius 6th house.------------------ Do you have some chocolate? IP: Logged |

''Do you like cooking for others?''Yes. I really enjoy cooking for others. Not a chef, but am pretty confident of my cooking skills to cook for others. ''What about restaurants and going out to eat?''
I enjoy going out to restaurants once in a while. '' Why can't we live in a world where we can eat and eat and never gain weight? It would be perfect.'' oh, it's every girl's dream to be able to eat and not gain weight! I don't have a weight problem although I'm naturally curvy, even if I starve myself I'll remain curvy

Being a professional chef could ruin one's love of cooking, lol. Ever find when you get a job doing something like cooking, it becomes a chore and you like it less? This is why I wouldn't want to. I want to continue liking throwing meals together. IP: Logged |

Before I married a picky eater - (as in he only eats his momma's food some of the time, and junk/fast food the rest of the time) - I loved cooking~ experimenting with whatever is in the cupboard is still a hobby - not always the best culinary innovations - but I have made a few unique dishes! lol a few!!! With all the spice, sauce, and fresh vegetables/fruit I like to use - my husband usually chases me out of the kitchen... he hates the smell (and taste usually) of most of the foods I cook - but, I hate the smell of most of the foods his mother cooks... so tough. And, him... lol he can bake - but he burns everything else. I'm still not over him destroying my favourite frying pan... lol I make a lot of family recipes/comfort meals (regional foods from Pennsylvania) - when I'm not in adventuring mode in the kitchen... I think it's probably... a combination of my 9th house Taurus Moon, and 6th house Aquarius - with Uranus in 4th cnj Venus (9th ruler)... all thoe 4th placements are probably good for different areas of habitat management! lol So, it sorta would make sense this combination... I watch my weight more for my health now... but, I have Saturn moon opposition - and Venus square (wide) Uranus square Ascendant. If I gained too much weight it would definitely bother me, and I've been very strict with myself in the past... now i have to make sure I weight enough... hard to explain - but, so far so good. Leaning to make Portuguese dishes has been interesting, even though I don't like all of them. (cooked seafoods/rabbit ew) - But, since coming to Canada, I really have been meaning to learn to make some... authentic... Indian dishes. Not just drop the curry powder into the saucepan type... lol One day! ^^; IP: Logged |

1. Great/amazing cook. Seriously. 2. Adore cooking BUT, I don't like to share my food with everybody. If I cook for you, it is because you are part of my circle. I can't stand the idea of some stranger/acquaintance tasting my food. So, potlucks, etc. I am not going to break my head cooking for a bunch of strangers/acquaintances, nope. I will buy something or contribute with the plates, forks. 3. Adore cooking BUT, I don't like to be expected to cook, I do it when I feel like it, if you tell me 'why don't you make?', I will not make anything, that's right. No cooking. 4. Adore cooking all kinds of foreign dishes. Esp. Japanese, West African, Italian, French, Indian, Arab and Spanish-Speaking Caribbean. Learning Persian. I like my spices. 5. Very sensitive to criticism. If you don't appreciate my food because you lack good taste, if you offend my dishes, I will never cook for you again. If you happen to be a picky-eater, junk food eater, I will not cook for you either. My food goes to people I know will appreciate it, and appreciate good food in general. 6. Good drinks are important too. 7. Definitely NOT into making pastries/desserts. But, I sure like eating them. 8. Yes to cooking shows, but I don't watch tv. 9. Skinny as a stick but I sure eat....lots. IP: Logged |

WOW. This is so much like me it's spooky!I'm a great cook. Natural talent. Certainly didn't get it from my parents (awful cooks, both of them). I just have a knack for making good food. I love cooking but hate cooking for strangers (a potluck would be DREADFUL) and I resent being expcted to cook, which is why as a kid, I rebelled when my mom tried to make me learn to cook. If you see cooking as "women's work" and thus my "duty" you better dig yourself a foxhole and jump in, fast. I taught myself to cook while living on my own as a young adult, and had no one else expecting me to cook. Love learning new cuisine and new cooking technique. I'm good at French, Cajun/Creole, Tex-Mex/Southwest and Mexican, and have dabbled with various Asian and South American cuisines. I would love to learn more Indonesian and Thai dishes. I want to marry my spice cabinet.  I don't want to cook for someone who doesn't appreciate my tastes/style of cooking. Had this problem with my ex-finance who HATED vegatables, and a I cook with veggies a lot. Go to Burger King and leave me alone. I apprecaite a good cocktail even though I don't drink very much. I'm sensitive to sulfates so I don't drink wine (I cook with it though) and love pairing it with food. Also fond of pairing beer and whiskys with food. I love single malts. I have Aqua Mars in the 6th, and 1st house Uranus near the 2nd house cusp. And of course, my Venus-Saturn conjunction in the 9th house. Not sure what else might infleunce my cooking. IP: Logged |

Absolutely LOVE to cook.Love cooking shows. I took cooking classes for fun. I love dining and *good* restaurants. I haven't stepped foot in a McDonald's in years. A lot of Taurus placements. Jupiter, ASC and Mercury. I love gardening, and usually only have a vegetable garden going so I can grow my own ingredients all nice and fresh! IP: Logged |

If I didn't love food/eating so much, I wouldn't cook much at all. I can be impatient. I only cook because I have to and because I want to eat relatively healthy.I think I'd enjoy cooking more for someone else. When I really like someone or have a crush on someone, I end up wanting to cook or bake something tasty for them. (I do enjoy baking more than I do cooking.) I think the only thing I sort of like about cooking is coming up with new, inventive ways to spice things up. That being said, I'm an okay cook, not excellent but not poor either, just average. I like watching some cooking shows but mainly just the ones where I can learn something like Good Eats or Bizarre Foods.

I was working for a Food Hygiene consultancy company some 5 years back, I had to conduct food hygiene audits at various food outlets/hotels etc.I have never met a chef who doesn't love their job.I think enjoying cooking is part of being a good chef.However I know what you mean,if I have had to work as a cook I'll probably hate it!
