who taught you to cook?

I really think it was a mixture of trial and error and who. I used to watch my mom, dad, and grandparents cook all the time. I have also run into the trial and error when I am trying something new.

yes i learned to cook from watching and helping my grandfather. he was a chef and the most amazing cook ever. he loved to watch me eat because i was greedy and would eat everything. i don't enjoy cooking as much as he did, but i can cook my butt off

I was raised by my grandmother and she used to cook almost everyday soI used to watch her and thats how I learned.

I learned some from my mother, but mostly I took Home Economics in school. I took it every year from 7th to 12th grade, except one year I could't fit it into my schedule. I really liked taking the class.

i taught myself.on the rare occasions my mother did cook,she burned everything.my grandmother wasn't that great a cook either. i made it a point to learn to make food that's at least edible LOL

If it didn't come in a box with complete directions, then for get it my mother did not cook. Her idea of making dinner was the yellow pages.. lol... My grandmother taught me a few of her recipes but other than that it was basically trial and error.

nobody taught me how to cook i just read some recipes, then try to cook it..

I know how to cook since grade school. I learned by just observing my aunt cook. I also learned by watching cooking shows. I do not even consult a cook book when cooking, usually i just go by my taste buds and experiment on different dishes. Good thing they always come off delicious.

My mother was a lousy cook and my father wanted just about the same thing every day, so there was no way I would ever have learned anything from her. I started reading her cookbooks (which she never used), and began trying out different things. I turned into a pretty good cook, but I actually learned to be more adventurous from my youngest son, who would try almost any combination of herbs and spices.

My mom taught me to cook. When I was ten she told me that me and my younger brother had to cook twice a week. I'm glad she did that. Both my brother and I can cook and love doing it. Once I got out on my own I didn't live on mac & cheese and Ramen Noodles. I ate healthy and well!

my mom first teach me how to cook and i found that i can cook more better than my mom so my dad took over and teach me more about cooking different dishes.. and man... i cant beat my dad.

its my dad. during grade school, he wanted me to learn how to cook already..he list down recipe's and make me cook viands for dinner...and it worked, i learned from there.

Well, I learned by standing in the kitchen watching my grandmother and my mother. I loved to help in the kitchen and I would watch when they made something and I would try to do it by myself. But later when I cooked for my children I learned that when you put love in your food it will always come out right.

i am not a good cook...all i know is frying...and no one taught me how to do that...it was trial and error...

My mom and grandma taught me how to cook the most. Then I also work at a restaurant so I learn alot from there too And some of it is trial and error. So it is a little of everything for me :)

Well it wasn't my Mother, she was a horrible cook, my sister (who is 13 years older than me) tells me that my Mother was a very good cook, but I never saw it, all I got was frozen dinners and overcooked meals. I learned to cook when I was about 15 years old and Mother would let me cook one night a week (I think it was the only time I ever ate at night). And then I got married when I was 18 years old so I was cooking for my husband and children and always used cookbooks and friend's recipes. I have taken a few weekend cooking courses, that I really enjoyed but no one sat next to me or guided when I learned, I just love the results of a good meal and how much it shows someone that you care by giving them a nice homecooked meal.

It was sort of a combination for me. I just started trying to follow recipes and cook on my own, and then when I had issues or if I had questions about something, then I would ask my mom. For the most part though, I just sort of picked it up on my own. I never really thought it was that hard to learn as long as you just know how to read and follow a recipe.

Hi listen2me, Both my mother and father taught both my brother and I how to cook as they wanted to give us practice for when I we were older and living on my own. Shortly after I turned 15 it started, one night each week my brother and I had to cook dinner. I am really glad that they did this because now I not only know how to cook but I love doing it as well.

I guess you can say no one taught me how to cook. I use to watch my mom cook, so I guess I learned from watching her. I also learned by trial and error. But if you could read and follow directions its easy to learn how to cook.

it was a mix of trial and error and learning from school. we had home economics subject in high school and they taught us to cook different kind of food, from main meals, to desserts to preserved goodies. i tried cooking at home too, so i could impress my parents, our relatives and my friends with my cooking abilites. i think i developed it as a hobby too. i love cooking for many people. i cant cook for one.
