i’m late to commenting on this post (i feel like my blog reader has had 10,000 unread posts all summer), but i just had to. makes me happy. i love knowing that–and why–others like to cook. i so understand all your reasons. and have a few of my own, too. cooking is one of the most soul satisfying ways of spreading love. sigh. now i need to go make something for me and my family to eat…

I can’t cook. Thanks for rubbing it in.

LOL – I WISH I could cook. I can’t smell, so my ability to taste is way off. So I have no hope. I love looking at the pictures though. Yum!

I love this post. I feel the same way. I have a teeny, tiny kitchen but there is something about being able to cook something for someone that makes them smile or groan with delight that just makes me happy.

I adore this post Casey.

It makes so much sense too. When I was at my bff’s house in April and having a really bad moment, she made me homemade strawberry shortcake. That? Is love.

I love that your reviews don’t sound like normal reviews. They’re basically just a name drop while you describe a real-life experience that we can actually relate to.

You make me want to cook more. I don’t cook often because I still live with my parents and grandparents — and believe me, when Noni cooks, there’s no need for anyone else to cook — but I have visions of cooking every night when Mike and I move in together dancing in my head. No garbanzo beans in my cake, though! (;

I like to cook, but stuff does not turn out a lot of the time especially when baking. Like last night I made chocolate zucchini bread. DRY and crunchy. Not moist and delish. I can’t figure out if it is me or my appliances.

This is fantastic. People ask me all the time why I cook so much, and I do it for a lot of the same reasons you do. My husband is an amazing cook, so some of our favorite times together involve making meals or treats. Now that my son is interested in cooking, you can’t keep us out of the kitchen!

Do you stress cook? When I have a lot of things going on, I tend to cook. There’s something satsifying about starting and completing a meal when I’m waiting for other people to do their part of a project. It’s something I can control, unlike the pace at which other people work.

Also, I’m pretty sure nobody would be sad if you brought a big ol’ bag of them there nuts to BlogHer. Just sayin’.

I just backed a batch of chocolate chip cookies to take to a friend to cheer her up… and you are exactly right in your sentiments.

And I think my cookbook shall be called “Bake Your Way into Your Friends Hearts – or Stomachs.”
