When did you start cooking for the first time? How was the recipe?

i really don't know when i started to cook. when we were growing up our favorite place to hang out in the house was the kitchen. coming from school the first place we go is the kitchen to check what is for snacks and of course for dinner. to a point that our cook will ask us when we leave for school in the morning what we want to eat for dinner just so we will not bother her in the kitchen. but to no avail the kitchen was still the hang out. it could have been the environment and my passion for eating that influenced to cook.

When I was 5 years old, while my parents were still sleeping, I would pull a chair up to the stove and make French toast. I was fascinated with cooking. My family is so surprised I did not become a chef.

I'm not sure if I rememeber the exact first thing I learned to cook. But my mom taught both my sister and I to cook from an early age. She often let us help out in the kitchen and gave us small jobs like mixing or snapping beans or something. I actually used to love to peel things! I think the first think I remember making on my own is "Stone soup" it's from a kids book actually. It's basically soup that you throw whatever you have or can find it in ( I think mine was mostly a mixed vegatable soup)...and if you want, you can throw a nice clean rock in it just like in the book. I remember that my soup came out pretty well.

Im not sure when I first started cooking but I think the first recipe I tried was macaroni salad.My mom helped me so of course it cam out good, LOL. But til this day I am not really much of a cook. I am trying though and I do enjoy it....ACTUALLY I have started trying new recipes and baking, becuase I have a family and everything!

If I remember correctly I started cooking when I was eleven or twelve. My dad taught me how to make pancakes, and I pestered my mom until she taught me how to make macaronies and cheese. Me and my best friend ate that an entire summer! My parents was very kind and used to let me help out in the kitchen a lot when I was a kid. By the time I was 14 I could easily cook dinner for the entire family.
