Cooking sounds like serious activity. Cookery sounds like a hobby.

Just words. No difference in my book. Apart from maybe snobbery and it's connotations.

I think I agree with write on.
Cookery to me sounds like someone's trying to ascribe cooking an art form or a fashion.

They mean the same thing to me, although cookery is probably a more old fashioned word that you hear less of these days.

Cozinhar in Portuguese (the verb to cook) but I think the French word is the best all rounder.
Cooking or cookery? Different words with a different meaning for me. You would say "i'm cooking tonight" and you could read a cookery book,but not a cooking book.

Nor have I, gringa. I think it's an 'other side of the pond' kinda thing.
