How much I cook depends on how often atreic is home - typically she cooks and I wash up on work-nights (because she hates having to load the dishwasher after dinner). When cooking for myself I tend to be very perfunctory about it (this is something I should probably fix), but I like cooking for other people.
I'm not a great eater of puddings, but I make a fair range of them, and really like making them. My tiramisu is a thing of joy. Sadly, this has rather turned me into a pudding snob - I'm more likely to be disappointed by a restaurant pudding than any other part of a meal.
I like sharing meals with friends, and don't really care what they cook for me - I'd rather a dinner host cooked something they liked cooking rather than trying hard to do something they think I'll like. I appreciate this may be a little paradoxical :) I think this may be a hangover from the fact that my parents didn't cook very much at all, so "proper" meals still seem like a bit of a treat!
My LJ has "food" tagged entries as appropriate. My most embarrasing cooking blind spot is white sauces, which I just can't do. Sometime I should spend an afternoon conquering them.
