What Kind of Cook Are You?

I was hoping for a slightly more sophisticated test (the pattern is pretty obvious), but I took a quiz to see what kind of a cook I am. Tara Parker-Pope in her NYTimes column Well discusses the idea of a family's nutritional "gatekeeper" and how what type of cook this gatekeeper is determines how the family eats.

I was guessing/hoping I was an Innovative Cook ("Creative and trend-setting, innovative cooks seldom use recipes and like to experiment with ingredients, cuisine styles and cooking methods"), but it turns out I am equally a Healthy Cook ("Optimistic, book-loving, nature enthusiasts, healthy cooks experiment with fish, fresh produce and herbs. Health comes first, even if it means sometimes sacrificing taste"). So that's fine, I guess. The conclusion of the story is that the families that eat the best (tastiest, but also healthiest) have Innovators as gatekeepers.

It probably doesn't hurt that I love to read about food marketing and can see a grocery store "trick" a mile away (usually)...I try to buy what we need and want, and some newfangled processed item on sale. Sometimes, tho, I fall for the 2 for X ploy (meaning, I could just buy one and still save money). But hey, who can't use an extra package of cream cheese?
