Is it correct to say "I get by cooking"?
I would like to know if it is correct to say "I get by cooking" or if it is only correct to say "I don't cook but I get by".

"I get by without cooking" would be equal to the second sentence. If you were to say "I get by cooking" someone would ask you "you get what by cooking?" because that is the way you would phrase, for example, "I get satisfaction by cooking", or "I get poisoned by cooking". Does that make sense?
