how did you learn to cook ?

I am still burning stuff after 50 years in the kitchen. I have decided that salads are my specialty since it does not involve turning on a stove. That said, I do enjoy baking and am learning to cook Vegan. I am enjoying foods now that the meat, eggs, and cheese are taken out of my diet and I have learned that there are substitutes that I like much better. Life is always an adventure and I am truly enjoying this adventure. I am working on such things like pizza and cheeses that do not use dairy. It's a fun time to say the least.

I learned to cook when I was ten. I still remember the first thing I cooked--shrimp, Creole-style. My mother deveined the shrimp, but I made the rice, sauce and cooked the shrimp myself under her direction. I can cook really well, now!

Hi So your husband knows how to cook-thats really great. You must consider yourself quite lucky. Now that you have learnt to cook and can cook quite well, its time to impress your husband. They say the way to a man's heart is from his stomach.

I learned how to cook from watching my grandmother and aunt cook in the house. I was a young girl then and I just ended up grasping learning how to cook then. I still am learning how to prepare many dishes that I have not cooked before though.

My mom taught me while I was still unemployed and looking for a job. She didn't want me to be just lying around the house while waiting for calls so that's what she did, taught me how to cook, and dealt with a couple of dishes that were really bad, but she managed to repair it in the end. Hahahha.

I learned how to cook when my boyfriend and I decide to eat at home since 2009.My boy friend taught me some.And we like to search cookbook on net and learned how to.

I've been on my own since I was a young teen so I never had a mother who showed me how to cook (or do laundry, sew etc etc) so for me it was pretty much trial & error and watching cooking shows..During my late teens I did have some older friends who could cook and I would watch them and ask questions as well..Admitedly though, I didnt get into REALLY cooking until I was in my late 20s early 30s...once I really started to enjoy it though I became very good at it.

My father is a cook and my mother cooks very good food at home. I think I am inheritated my father and my mother's good cooking skills I actually think cooking is easy and I like it; I think I kind of learnt it myself, when I don't understand something, I ask my mom. I cook everynight for my family and I always create something new so we don't eat the same food all the time.

when i was a kid, i like helping with the cooking at home. later on i learned to love watching every cooking show i see on tv and go on experimenting with different kinds of ingredirnts

Every processing i have learned from my mother. I can't cook like my mother but i can also cook and some dishes i cook very well.

hi friends... i like to cook very much... actually i have learnt cooking at my mom. so i can also cook some of dishes... i think they are good cause all the persons who were tasted my food are still alive..... hahaha....

My grandmother and mother taught me...and alot of it I learned on my own. We lived on a farm and my folks both had to work. Sometimes there would be workers in the fields that needed to be fed...so I learned to cook for them! I don't do alot of cooking now but do enjoy having company so I can make something different...cooking for one isn't alot of fun.

Hi, SIMPLYD....I was raised by an aunt and her kitchen was about the size of the modern bathroom. There wasn't room in there for me to help with meals but a lot of the time I'd stand at the doorway and watch her put meals together. When I got out on my own, I bought cookbooks, asked relatives for their recipes and invented recipes of my own. Eventually, my cooking abilities increased and am now considered exceptional. (Blowing my own horn here) I still refer to cookbooks, online sites and ask relatives for their recipes. I just love to cook. A lot of my concoctions I share with my elderly next door neighbor.

It sounds like a really fun way to learn how to cook food. hehe. You're husband sounds like a really good cook. I have also learned how to cook from family members and some close friends. I would ask them how to cook certain foods and they were more than happy to help me. They even provided me with recipes. Other foods I would learn from a recipe book or a recipe written online on the Internet.

Ever since I was a kid I've always been fond of cooking and my mom would always let us participate in the kitchen. I think the first meal that I'd ever cooked was pork with pechay. It's a very simple dish where you just sautee some pork cut into small cubes with garlic and onion, and then add a little water and when the meat is done, at some chopped pechay. I really liked it, my mom taught us how to make it. My dad also cooks and he also let us participate in the kitchen. Most of the time when I was in high school and college I always volunteer to cook dinner. But I let my father decide what to cook and I do the cooking :) Sometimes he lets me decide the menu :) Up until now that I'm married I still cook even though my husband also knows how. But I do the cooking most of the time because he works and doesn't have time to cook. My husband loves my cooking too ^^

I didn;t really learn how to cook until a 7th grade home economics class. i learned a lot of things about cooking and baking in this class. i was glad for the experience. i don't even know if they still teach this class in schools anymore. if they don't, then it is a shame. I also learned quite a bit about cooking from my late grandmother. i still think of her often when i am in the kitchen.

Hi! I just learned to cook when I took the time to read cookbooks and try to follow the instructions stated there. I did that several times until I got the hang of it! It's fun to cook different dishes and I particularly like baking also. I became good at cooking that when there are family occasions or holidays I get to cook special cuisines. I think when you enjoy what you do no matter what it is, you also will be good at it!
