I can't believe I don't have a thread like this up in place.
Introduce yourself. Do you like to cook? Are you learning? Do you have a favorite recipe? Are you a college student, struggling independent, or just looking for quick and easy recipes? Share your story!
I'm Taki, but my real name is Cindy. Baran and I started Gluttony while we were in college. I'm a college graduate, working towards my teacher certification and eventual independence from my parents. I enjoy cooking and am so-so at it.
Living in a dorm has taught me how to be more creative with the limited space and materials when it comes to cooking, and I thought it would be neat to share some tricks with everyone.

I'm Wendy, I'm going away for school for the first time in the autumn. Although I'm hoping to get a suite-style double room (shared bathroom, kitchen, with two per bedroom), chances are pretty slim so I'll likely get a dorm style, with no access to cooking tools. Since hotplates, toasters, microwaves etc will be banned, I'm hoping for some quick and easy put-together meals, plus things I can cook when visiting friends.
To add to the challenge, I have selective eating disorder, so my range of food choices is extremely limited. My 'safe list' includes chicken, potatoes, corn and rice, with no other veggie or meat products, but I do love breads and iced cream!

The name's Nira :3
I'm a college student in the Netherlands, Europe and I've just finished my first year of majoring in Japanese.
I've got a lot of time on my hands, so I want to try and cook some more now that I have the time to. Also, they say that food's is the way to a man's heart and I happen to share my dorm with a pretty cute guy that LOVES food. So yeah :3
With a recipe I can make pretty much anything, although I also have my screwups (latest one was this morning, with cake that became rockhard in the oven xD Still tasty though.)
And I'm also looking for pretty basic, pretty cheap, pretty quick recipes to make, once classes start again in September.

I'm Kat and cooking is basically all I do. I'm a culinary arts and management major at the Illinois Institute of Art: Chicago. I also work two jobs, one doing pastry and baking for a catering company, and one doing general prep, tappas, and hot appetizer cook at a wine bar.
I have to admit, my overall skill level might be above and beyond any 101 level, but hell...when it comes to being at home, I'm just as lazy as any other college student, and just as poor!

This is Spookeh here. I'm thrilled with the site and now the guild.
I'm here after like a two year or more break from G.O. but this thread was thankfully still here my favorite. My mom love this thread and she doesn't even play here we've used it on the I don't know what I want to eat nights.
I'm not a cook but I can feed myself so this site makes me wanna eat more and try to cook more. Lately I've been into arts&crafts and writing short stories just creativity is blocked wonder if I can fix that with an idea from here? LoL

Pleasure to meet you all. I'm Dahlia Kurohime. My real name is Vanessa. I'm sorry to say that I'm nowhere near college yet. I still have like this school year and next year to finish in high school. I mostly joined for my cousin who is in college and well......she's GREAT at ramen, but not so much on the other things in life. I try my best thou for her. I can not say I'm an amazing cook but I can cook VERY well for someone my age. ^-^ I feel proud. Anyway, I'm a genius (by my cousin and lil sisters standards) at ALL things rice. *feels triumph* I'm good at meat, and homemade soups'. I'm currently trying to figure out how to make turkey and my family's passed down secret reciepe for tamales. I will do my best!! *bows* Please if any wish to know how to make something, I'll be gald to assist you in your need. 3nodding

Carrilyn here. Currently I am a Sophomore at West Valley Community College in Saratoga, California. I can't cook for beans, but I love LOVE to bake. However, all I know is to bake and some recipes I find on the net are a tad too difficult. I hope this site will broaden my cooking horizons. =]

I am very very happy I found this thread/guild and thank you for creating it! smile

I'm Trischalli. I love to cook but having been around picky eaters the joy of cooking and baking have gone away some. Now I love to cook meals where I use a base of meat and make several different meals from that meat.
I'll cook several pounds of beef, then eat it different ways. I'll boil it for hours long in veggie broth and red wine vinegar with some spices. Afterwards I'll thicken up the broth to where it is a sauce. Finally mix it with sour cream to make it into a Stroganoff or just use the sauce on top of the beef and make it into a sandwich. Other times, I'll mix in with rice pilaf and veggies on the side.
I do this with pork, chicken and turkey. With fish I like to just broil the fish with spices, then eat with a side dish.
I love to make one-pot or one-pan meals as well.
