how did you learn

I learned how to cook from watching cook shows. When I'm cooking I don't go to the store to buy what I need for my recipe because I'm just experimenting I used everything I see that could make my recipe Yummy. I'm not always cooking but when I'm in mood to cook I start to cook right away. My mother said it's been a good dish. I feel flattered. ha ha ha! :)

Dear trisha27, I learned how to cooking only after i married...hehehhee...before my late mother always tried to teach me to cook since i'am the younger..she said "for ur survival"..She is a great cook and a great baker but her daughter is a tomboy girl! After married, when i tried to cook, the dishes will turn out disaster!!! hahaaha..well lucky me since my boyfriend is a Chef. He can cook either Western or Esaster dishes.. But now ...after a lots of trial and error..my cooking is acceptable and my kids loves it hahahaha....but still the man of the house is the best since he is my teacher!!!

i remember watching my grandmother cook when i was young. i remembered every detail. she was a very good cook. and now that i cook the dishes i learned from her, people say i am very good too.

hi trisha... when i was still single we have maids...and be are to busy in our school activities to learn or do housework's... my mom never had a time to teach me how.. now that im married..i already knew.. though i know im not that best in cooking.. but i know how and guess what who taught me?? hehehe!my hubby!... he knows all the housework's..cause he has been trained by his parents...they lived in a island.. so they are used to live how difficult it may be.. now im quite learning..and good for me he is a very understand man.. who helps me in any housework's .. and he taught me well..heheheh! thanks to him!.. thanks! take care!

I learned tiny bits from my grandmother and uncle when I was very young. I'm mostly teaching myself now with cookbooks and websites. Its pretty fun, especially since there are quite a few foods that my fiancee can't have, so I have to find replacements.

hi trisha! i learned to cook through my mom. i always assist her whenever she prepares our meals. i got so interested so i asked her to teach me how to cook. gladly, i was able to learn quite fast. I love cooking and oftentimes, i try to experiment on different recipes.

I learned a little bit from my mother when I was younger. Then when I got into 7th grade we had to take home economics for a semester. I was hooked. I had so much fun in the class learning to cook. I took it every year of high school after that. My friends and I would have fun cooking up concoctions at her has when we had sleepovers.

My mother taught me a few recipes, but she wasn't really fond of cooking. Most of her meals were easy ones, like from a jar or a box that you just had to add meat to and heat it up or whatever. She'd make pot roasts and the like on occasion.. but it wasn't too often. When I was about 14 she started teaching me how to make easy things. I knew her Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe before I was 16. The rest I pretty much taught myself. I'm good at following recipes that I find online or from a book. Over time I've become really good at substituting ingredients and making little changes to recipes I find. Mostly I use recipes as a guidelines. I've gotten pretty good at cooking and baking... though most of the time I'm like my mom and don't like to take the time to prepare intricate meals.

I learned pretty much by trial and error, as a young boy. The only rule my mother had was "You cook it, you eat it, no matter how bad". Didn't take me long to learn to follow a recipe quite carefully

I learned to cook on my own mostly. I am a vegetarian that grew up with a bunch of carnivores, and they did not really accommodate me, so I had to cook myself, and after cooking for myself after a while I became very good at it, I can make just about anything, I absolutely love to cook, it is such an art! Right now my house is full of the aroma of a nice dish called focaccia, mmmm, I made my own bread and topped it with stuff from the garden. Of course I know a few family recipes, but most of what I cook I acquired by myself in my own time. I wish that I could own a coffee shop where I got to bake and make good healthy food everyday, maybe later in my life I will do something like that, I would have a lot of fun! I could never do something like a restaurant though because that is too stressful to cook for, but on a smaller scale it would be great. But anyways, happy cooking!

Mostly I learned from books and the usyual method of trial and error after I got married. I got married when I was barely 18 and we had to eat. So I started to learn to cook. Watching what was in my dish was very important: that way I could see what the basic ingredients were. Now I love to cook and I cook very well as my friends, family AND grandchildren say

Most of my cooking skills are self-taught. My mom wasn't a good cook and didn't enjoy cooking so for a long time I didn't know. We did some cookery at school but that wasn't very good either. Just ticking stuff off a sheet not ONCE did the teacher taste anything to see if it was okay (often it wasn't) and there was too much emphasis on cakes and baking because that is an easy option. I actually became vegetarian for a while to escape my mother's bad cooking. Even then I lived of packaged foods mostly. When I moved out of my mothers house I started to take an interest in cooking and gradually taught myself more techniques and dishes.
