An eater, feeder, or both?
Much as I enjoy eating, i've recently discovered I enjoy cooking for others. Seeing them wipe their plate clean and ask for more gives me satisfaction, so in my case both

I hear ya _hillout. I think I am both. I prefer being an eater when it is someone else who is kindly doing the cooking for me. And I turn into a feeder when it is my turn to prep the food. I like watching someone enjoy the fruits of my labours. Especially if it is a recipe or dish they haven't tried before. Very satisfying when I get asked for the recipe or on cookery tips!
Over to you."

I enjoy cooking for others though seldom have the time to do proper justice to the job. When it's only for myself i more often treat it as just fuel. I do like to eat good food, but it sort of feels like unjustified spending that effort on myself. |

I am such a feeder and love having people over for lunch or dinner. It gives me such pleasure to cook for them and I find it also feeds my soul when I do it.
I've catered for birthdays, christenings and parties, from my own kitchen.
To add to that I also make a cracking breakfast... |

"I love baking gifts for people. Can't deny I don't enjoy eating too though. But love making someone a nice birthday cake. "
Baking is something I seriously need to work on. |

Love cooking for others and generally looking after them. I send edible gifts out to my neighbours on my street and I’m known to almost always do a buffet when people are coming over.
Obviously I eat too |

"I'm a complete foodie, so probably more of an eater. I do like to cook though, and love to bake...my millionaire's shortbread was fought over in my old work team  "
Don’t let my spawn know that he will be demanding that you bring some when you next come over |

I'm a total foodie.
I'm definitely an eater more than a feeder these days - my opportunities for entertaining or cooking for others has diminished, even without covid. I am doing a big Sunday roast tomorrow though, which I'm really looking forward to |

I prefer cooking for others - clearly I love eating but if others cook for me I always want to help/step in which makes me a bit of a nightmare. I love seeing someone's face light up the first time they taste something I've cooked/baked for them; it gives me a lot of happy butterflies and I feel oddly proud of myself in a sort of "you go Meli coco" way.
I like to think of cooking as one of my love languages.  |

I’m not a feeder and I’m definitely not someone who overeats.
I do love looking after people though. When I have people to my house I adore running round making sure everyone is well catered for.

You've made cooking almost poetic  |

Aww, I'll have to bring some next time...you're always feeding me, so I'll feed your spawn |

I cook as a necessity now, my lad just sees food as something he has to eat to grow, occasionally he’ll offer ‘that was great’ or ‘best yet’. However he is learning to experiment, so new foods for me & him to learn to cook.... which can be hit and miss haha
I used to love cooking and trying new things, but that went by the by when you have someone who won’t even talk about new foods or before they’ve even tasted something smother it in salt and pepper or the worst ketchup that does make you think why bother with the effort.
One day I’ll find my love for it again |

There and to the left a bit |
Did myself a very nice smoked haddock risotto earlier - tasted delicious and the 5 minutes 30 seconds I sat watching it go round and round before it went "ping" to say it was ready made every fork full worthwhile

I think we're both a bit of both. We enjoy good food. S eats more of it than you'd reckon from his slim form. I eat less of it than my fat belly attests to. We both enjoy cooking, although I find it very hard nowadays to stand up long enough, so he does most cooking now. |
