Where you learn cooking from?

I am a very good cook, I experiment on tastes and ingredients. I see to it that what I will be cooking will be good and nutritious for my kids. I read a lot about cooking so in that way, i would know what are nutritious or not...I dont overcook vegetables because when you do, the nutrients will be lost...

I learn traditional cooking from my mother she is my teacher:)and modern cooking from TV channels. I love cooking and enjoy a lot so I also do experiments and make changes in the dishes and create my own recipes as well. I always try to find some new and tasty food recipes and here on mylot i do the same. Not only learning I try to help others if i can for cooking anything or any tips.

I am a very good cook, :) And i learned it from my mom, also I like to find new good receipts to try new kitchens and i love to do it, my supporter is my husband , he likes to eat my food a lot :) It is good that he likes to exercise too so that he wont get weight :)

Well, I learned a lot of the things that I cook from my mother. She was never one to push me out of the kitchen when I was younger, so I learned from a pretty young age. From there, I kind of just throw things together on my own, and see how they turn out. I'm a fairly good cook I think, and my boyfriend thinks so too, so I'm not too worried about my skills. You could always look up recipes online, it's a lot faster, and doesn't cost you anything like a book is going to cost you. I personally enjoy cooking, but not all the time. I like cooking for my boyfriend, but not for big groups of people, because I hate to clean up my mess afterwards. I know, that is horrible, but what can I say, I'm sort of lazy sometimes.

i learn cooking from my boyfriend lol he's a better cook than me

I understand how you feel as I also live far away from my mother, and only know how to cook a handful of different things. My problem is that my partner is a good cook and hates to clean. Therefore he cooks and I wash up afterwards- a beautiful partnership. I haven't bought cookery books but I do collect recipes from magazines and the internet. I find making crumbles easy and tasty- both sweet and savoury. I rarely follow a recipe completely, I end up adding my own twist to it. The best way to become a good cook is to try different recipes, hence adding variety. Maybe you can endeavour to try a new recipe every week? Then you won't get sick of the same foods all the time. We never have the same dish in a week and that keeps our diet fresh. Good luck and let us know how you get on!

i learned frommy mom who happens to be a good cook. she's learned it from her dad too.. who loves to cook and experiment on cooking :) i sometimes watch cooking show too, but i dont often follow step by step i go by the taste i prefer so i dont measure... :)

I like to cook and let my friends to have a taste. I like collecting receipies and try it if I feel that it is good to taste. I also like to have an advice from a good cooker.

Well,I learned cooking from my granny and my mom. I enjoy watching them cooking,and when I grow up,I could do it myself. Actually,I did bought some cookiing books,but the thing is I can never cook a meal as delicious as the books described.So,give up self-study,then turn to the tired same tastes every day.

Most of my cooking I learned from my grandmother, and my mother. Very rarely do I use a cook book or a recipe. Maybe for cakes or something like that. Most of what I make is just a variety of stuff the I like to eat, and then I find something creative to do with it. Sometimes it doesn't turn out like I thought, but always good. Some of my Mom's favorite recipes though are out of old country cookbooks. We don't eat much "ready to cook" stuff, it's all homemade.

Cooking is a passion of mine and always has been.I tought myself to cook at a young age.It was julia child not cartoons for me. I know weird right.Also just experementing with differnt recipies helps.I say just get some new recipes a go from there.

I dont know how to cook and dont plan to learn right now. Hopefully i will find someone that is a good cook, or i will have to settle with something easy or going out to eat everyday/

I agree that learing from your mother is the best way (you might even discover that you have a secret family recipe) also the internet is extremely helpful as it can provide very useful basic information about cooking... you can then build on that infromation to suit your taste...

im not sure .lol

LOL..THIS IS MY BIG PROBLEM NOWADAYS BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO COOK. I POSTED MY DISCUSSION ABOUT COOKING AND I EXPLAIN THERE WHY I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO COOK. COOK FOR ME IS VERY INTERESTING TO LEARNED BUT IT WASN'T MY THOUGHT BEFORE. PLEASE CHECK MY POSTED DISCUSSION: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1465808.aspx

I learned the basics back in High School in our home class but, by the time I actually had to apply the knowledge, it all went through the window so, it was all trial and error once I had to cook for myself. I use cookbooks, always have. I am not great at coming up with recipes on my own. I have done a few that I like real well but, nothing even worth sharing. There are a few great cookbooks that I can suggest. Better Homes and Gardens, Cooking Light, and there is a Pillsbury cookbook that I love too. Just remember that everyone has to learn and everyone, even seasoned cooks, makes mistakes.

I want to cook,but Im not really a good cook well I learned it from myu mom,everytime she cook for our meals I always watched her,and everytime we went to the Grocery store Im the one who get vegetables or meat,because when we go home we cook for my father's dinner,and he was the one who judged the food,If Its is good,that was very funny.

I love to cook as well. And I think I learned how to cook from my fahter. In the family, it's really weird. My mom does not know how to cook. I mean, not that she's totally ignorant about it, it's just that back home, my dad is almost always the one cooking food for the family. My mom confessed that eversince the beginning of their marriage, they already talked about her inability to cook food, because she said, as a child, she was always assigned to clean their house, and never really learned how to cook food. What's even more weird is that, since it is my dad who almost always cooks food at home, my brother and I eventually were the one's asked to cook. It's, like you know, all the boys in the family are cook - my father, myself and my youngest brother. You bet, my brother is a really good cook, he even contemplated on becoming a chef seriously in his life. So I guess, I was able to learn the art of cooking from my father. And of course, self-learning from the Internet.

if you become a good cooker day by day,supposely, u must confident if you want make to make something or action, for example you are cook curry or other food,if you want to put salt into your food, you must confidence how much salt you want to add in you food. if you see a chef their confident to put everthing in their food.You also follow the ingredient types of food, if you miss one ingredient your taste in cooking, so bad.

the internet is a great source for recipes...xD
