and love to experiment in the kitchen. Besides, the boy's kitchen skills only extend to
making coffee, he even burns toast! So he gets to do the cleaning.

World Class Chef's aside...

This Domina does all the cooking. I am quite good at it and regardless of recipe and instruction it never tastes the way I want it to unless I do it myself. OK, I don't use recipies and I have control issues, I know it.

I have been able to teach subs how to clean the kitchen properly, and I always check even if it's later in the day or evening.


*laughs loudly* This reminded me so much of ME.

The kitchen is my domain. MINE. I am a control freak when it comes to the kitchen. I don't even like other people in my kitchen, unless they're performing certain tasks which I have given them to aid me with the meal preparation and they stay out of my way. I tend to be antsy if people are in my kitchen "spying" on my cooking. I never follow a recipe unless its baking and even then I adjust it a little. The last time someone asked me for a recipe, I got out 3 cookbooks and said "Ok.. I used this from here.. this from here.. and this from here.. then I didn't do it like that.. but I did it like this.. and then this.." People just don't ask me for recipes anymore.

I will, however, let others clean it up as long as they're taught how to do it properly and follow direction.

(btw this is how I am about the kitchen, reguardless of Domme/sub roles)

Happy Tuesday y'all...

General question. With the incredible variety of folks online here, I ask questions like this out of sheer curiosity and knowledge interest.
Dragon


For most things, it is me because the kitchen is fully my domain. I have always loved to cook, taken lessons, and even did a stint with a chef to learn more. I will hand off some things, but not that many. Now, if I have a good cook/trained chef come into my household, that could be fun and interesting...

I am not surprized at it being good..... there is a reason all the worlds best chefs are men!

Personaly I enjoy cooking and will modestly say I'm rather good at it, but wouldn't wish to do so EVERY night.



Now Raven, no generalizing--I'm sure Susan Spicer, Alice Waters and Tessa Bramley would take great offense at that comment--I am an excellent cook as well as My teen, for now, it has to be Me, but the boy demonstrated his cooking prowess when I visited him--he is excellent and will take over much of the cooking when he is living with Me.

Something about a half-naked submissive, wooden spoons and the movement of cooking---mmmm

Not half as offended as they would be if they where ever sharing a kitchen with our Gordon Ramsey.... who I believe recently did a series of programs over on your side of the pond. Great chef but his language tends to be more suitable for an army barracks than for a posh resteraunt. It is only his results that let him get away with it (And now of course it has sort of became a trade mark of his). Not a man I would have a drink with, but I can certainly respect his cooking.

Now you have my imagination running wild.... I'm just glad I'm NOT thinking about the same submissive as you are. I wouldn't enjoy the thoughts half as much

Yes, in My kitchen(s) there are required accoutrements--chefs aprons for protecting from "the splashing of hot liquids", wooden spoons, (many of then are handmade and perfect for "cupping" objects for inspection), wooden, metal and plastic spatulas perfect for cleaning and licking clean--

and then I discovered they were quite perfect for cooking! Perhaps You need a shopping list for the kitchen in that new flat of Yours--

Odd, i have never heard of him! Graham Kerr, Jacques Pepin, Wolfgang Puck, Jamie Oliver i have heard of, but not Egon Ronay. i Googled him - born in Hungary, made his career in the UK. i guess he also stayed on his side of the pond ;)

i laughed at your posts. i WILL say nothing brings out the devil in me more as when dinner guests come into the kitchen to try to "help." i snapped at my sister-in-law once for cutting avocadoes wrong. Look, if i am cooking...stay the hell out of the kitchen LOL. i know exactly where everything goes, and it MUST be there when i want to retrieve it. i have a towel for drying dishes and a towel for drying hands - do NOT confuse the two! i have a system that flows when i cook - if you're standing in the way, you will get run over...

erm....ahem....yes i am a bit particular when i cook.....but the food comes out quite good!!

My kitchen in my apartment is dark and dreary, and i just had no desire to enter it unless absolutely necessary.
However, His cooking skills are deplorable. He'd eat nothing but dried out chicken breast cooked on His George Foreman grill for every meal, and be fine with it.
I learned to cook because I despise that damn grill! I've since discovered that i'm quite a good cook and that i enjoy doing it!

In all seriousness, it's my partner that does the cooking. She was professionally trained and loves to do it. She got perturbed when I assigned a girl living with us to do the cooking so we agreed that in the least, she will cook the meal but the girl will prep and clean-up.

Just a note on this- this was the arrangement I had in my first M/s relationship and while it made most sense practically, it wasn't always the best way to go.

My master worked nights for the most part, so he would wake up in the afternoon, have some "dinner/breakfast", do the hang out thing and then head off to work for the night. As the assigned "prep and clean up" person, I never got to enjoy the wake up snuggle time OR the after dinner snuggle time. By the time dinner was done, he was off showering and getting ready for work.

And despite not being a 40 plus yo mother of three who had cooked often, I DID enjoy the pleasure of making and serving dinner occasionally, knowing we were enjoying something I had made for us. Plus it can be hard on the soul to know that the other person gets the fun of cooking while you have to do the "work" of cleaning day in and day out.

So, as pragmatic a person as I can be, it can be good to mix things up occasionally.

Status: offline 		I'm mostly 'the cook' in our home... but he doesn't 'require' or demand that I do. In fact, the days I work, he'd rather me not cook so I can spend more time paying attention to him, so we order out or something. Sometimes we cook together. And sometimes he initiates cooking a meal for the both of us, usually breakfast. It works out well. I enjoy cooking and he always lets me know how wonderful it tastes.

Besides the fact that I have a galley style kitchen (even if it was 3x the size I would feel the same) and there's just no room for others in my kitchen, I just DO NOT WANT you in there! I know what I'm doing next and tenth from next and it's all happening in that order for a reason so NO you can't do anything. My grandmother, the most organized woman on earth who knows exactly what you are doing wrong and how she would do it right, gave me the highest compliment I could hope for when she said " I just don't know what to do to help you, Dawn, you look like I would only get in your way." The "dish" towels and "hand" towels thing I got from Grandma.

Oh and recipies...people ask me for a recipe and I start rattling it off, they look at me funny. When I ask someone else "what's in this?" It's not because I want to make the exact thing, it's because I like the basic components and I want to improve on it. They want to give me a pen and paper so I can write it down...Write it down? why? LOL!!!!

Status: offline 		I do the cooking 99% of the time. If Master Archer is cooking them it is probably because I am not home..and then he usually makes an omlette. I have cooked professionally and, at one time, wanted to attend the CIA (the interview and school tour was incredible!). Lately my menu is high on kid friendly food (homemade mac-n-cheese gets boring to make but it's a staple in our home). I prefer creating my own recipes and was a finalist (1 of 8) in the London Times Amateur Chef Of The Year in 1993.

Best chefs?

Perhaps the most recognized celebrity chefs are men but that is often because women chefs have more diverse lives that just being a chef: dating, families, other activities.

I can name off dozens of superior female chefs although thay are not common household names. Being famous on television does not necessarily mean they are the best at being a chef.

Pam Mazzola
Eugéne Brazier (first woman to gain six Michelin stars)
Reine Sammut
Alice Waters
Elena Arzak
Barbara Lynch
Helene Darroze
Lidia Bastianich
Jody Adams
Missy Robbins
...and more and more

Love the different perspectives here,even re cooking.Conversely,I consider the cooking part the major "work" & clean up something that just has to be done ...but not as gruelling ...Unless of course ones cook is a messy cyclone & doesn't clean up here & there as they go!
