I remembered cooking hotdogs for my friends when I was seven. I got into a lot of trouble because that was the first time I tried to cook anything and I didn't ask for permission first.

When I was growing up my mother never let me cook anything on the stove because she was afraid that I would set the house on fire. She was very protective of her children. So the first thing I ever cooked was a cheesebuger omlet when I was 18. It was great and my husband still asks me to cook them for him. I mean, I cooked in Home Economics when I was in High School, but the cheeseburger omlet was the first thing I cooked out of school. The first thing I cooked in school was a cookies and cream double layer cake. It had oreos crubled on the top. It was pretty good, but i'm not much on sweets.

I still remember the first food that I cooked and I was also seven years old then. I cooked the rice for dinner. It was pretty easy to do. I just washed the rice than put some water. Measure the height of the rice with your hand and put the same amount of water. It's that so easy and I was happy I was that I was able to cook rice then. hehehe.

Seven? I don't think I cooked anything at that age. Honestly, I cannot remember the first thing that I cooked although I can cook simple things like rice and boiled eggs and boiling water. No culinary artist, this boy!

Probably my first dish I cooked was fried noodle for my brother. I don't get much trouble cooking it since I already learned the steps from my mom. happy cooking :)

The first food i cooked,en,maybe egg soup.Do you know it? You get water in the pot,and put salt,oil,and other spices into it.Until the water was boiled,you put two or three eggs into the water and stir them.After three minutes,the egg soup was done.I really like the taste because it is ME to cook them.o(n_n)o... Now in summer holiday i often cook for my family.when they eat the foods i cooked,i feel really happiness in the deep of my heart.I like my job~~
