Hey guys,So,finally,I have learned to make a recipe with chicken and some vegetables.It isn't something that's too hard but well it is the first time I have actually done something related to cooking.I am not that good at making the dish but I guess it's average and I will get better at it the more I practice.I am feeling pretty excited and happy to be honest.How did you feel when you completed making something for the first time?Excited,happy?Did you enjoy the experience?What did you make? Thanks!

Good job on making the meal! I find it hard making meals so anytime I make something out of the ordinary I feel really confident and good about myself and then tasting it to discover that it tastes good is really satisfying as well.

First off congratulations. The reason they call cooking an art is that it takes practice to get things right. Like in art there are those gifted, geniuses who just have an intuition about food, for most people like me it is learning technique and practice, practice, practice. I once heard a TV show where they interviewed Chefs and they said that the way they made food looked so easy. The Chefs laughed a little and one said that most people don't realize how many hours they spend perfecting their recipes. One actually stated that when he started as an assistant he would have whole days that he had to chop onions, carrots, etc until he perfected his style, then he moved onto different dishes, but it is hours and days, months and even years of practice. So if the first thing you made is edible and tasty, congratulations and hope you continue. Good luck.
