Quiz: Are You a Master Chef or a Novice Cook?

Take this fun quiz from Martha Stewart. Let me know your score. I got 5 out of 8. Not all that great and I've been cooking for many years!

I got 5 too - I am an ok family cook - I tend not to worry whether salt is a spice or not (though I did get that right!) I would never serve consomme - and brunoise???????? I love Martha - but it's hardly the real recession hit world - lol! Do I sound miffed that I didn't score higher - lol!!!!

I also got five correct, but I'll admit I had to guess at most of them! I much prefer baking to cooking, I wonder if she has a quiz geared towards baking?

How embarassing I only got 3 but I am so a baker not a cook! Oh well it was fun and I learned new things today! I love your blog by the way!

I got a 5, but I totally guessed on some of them, so I think I got lucky! :-)

I got seven out of eight. If I hadn't used Wikipedia, I probably only would have gotten three. ;-)

I got five right- that peppercorn question almost got me!

I am hosting a giveaway on my blog and wanted to let you and your readers know about it- I am currently reviewing a meal planning service called Relish www.relishrelish.com
and I am giving away 2 3- month subscriptions to their service- customizable weekly meal planning.

5 out of 8, also- but I don't really like to cook :-P

Also 5 out of eight, but I'm not sure that is all that accurate as two I just guessed and happened to get it right. :)

Call me a bumpkin, but I think the quiz should have been titled 'cook or trained french chef'or something to the like. I know a lot of ladies who can do some serious cooking and I'm not sure they would have known that bit about chevril or what family the sezhuan peppercorn was from... haha...

Blessings!

I also got 5/10, but I know I'm a great cook anyway. The questions were quite irrelevant to ability, but then again, perhaps this is the stuff chefs need to know? All I know, my family loves my cooking - that's good enough for me!

I also got a 5/8. I am a cook, not a chef as my BIL (who is a chef) says to me. I don't know french (nor do I care to :-) and I use the "usual" spices, I don't worry what spice family they come from! LOL

I only got half of them! It looks like I need to brush up on my French. If the quiz had been about Japanese cooking I would have been all set!

I got 5, but frankly, that surprised me. Mostly educated guessing. Who really uses that stuff?
