I'm a pretty good cook
but not nearly as inventive as Vipros or Battered. I probably make better cake than they do though.

So far, I've found I can cook, but I'm not really one to experiment
In my life, I've made one utterly magnificent meal for others, but that's about it. (A venison, duck and pheasant pie)

Although I did invent the slow roasted bolognaise sandwich.

Having tried the brownie
I would bet that this is true.

I did salmon with port wine jelly and soda bread for starter, then traditional dinner with trimmings for the main, and christmas pudding with brandy butter for pudding

my baking skills have got worse as my other cooking skills have improved
so you are almost certainly right.

I love cooking and I love eating more, hence inventiveness and adventurousness. I find can also imagine how things will taste together in my head, which helps.
