I'm not a great cook. Once I's at my boyfriend's place. His mom gave me a recipe book and asked me to try something in their newly bought microwave oven. I made a Vanilla cake for the first time. And fortunately, it's 'wonderful' and 'delicious' - the two words I received from his mom!! Did it ever happen to you?

Cooking is some sort of experiments and such wonders are obvious when someone is more concerned about the quality and the method to prepare. Even some scientific discoveries were made by mistake...

When my wife and I first meet she was unable to cook. She cooked me dinner on a 3 month anniversary and now is an awsome cook. Some of the meals she creates makes me think she was a chef in another life.
