I would like to have answers from male too.

I have cooked chapaties and vegs of potato and I must tell you that it was.......
...
....
very bad in taste. It was that bad that I don't want to remember it but the experience was awesome.

Now, I am an average cook who can cook for his needs but when it comes to family, my mom is the best. Even my father cooks good too!!

So, share your experience with me. How was your first experience.

hello sanuanu

gosh, to be honest with ya, i haven't a clue what i fixed the first time that i got to cook any food by myself. lol i am forty-six years old. lol but i think that the first thing that i ever cooked was a homemade carrot cake with cream cheese icing and to the best that i can remember, it turned out pretty good to be the first thing that i ever made. and i haven't ever heard of cooked chapaties before? what is that? thanks for sharing.

take care and have a beautiful evening.

When I was young, my grandmother would let me make small things when I went to visit her... I was so proud when I could make her dinner of fish sticks, rice and vegetables LOL! She also taught me how to make bread pudding, custard and other simple desserts. When I took home economics in school, I made my first homemade pizzas for my parents and my sister... crust and all from scratch. My dad was so pleased with me:D I think cooking is certainly that everyone needs to learn - male or female. It's also nice to learn young!

Great! Its always nice to have a good start. A good start means half done. I hope that you cook good today too!Cheers

Allow me to smile in a very subtle way. Although your dish had a bad taste, you were able to call it a dish. In my case, the first food cooked in my life was a nice burned meat stew (initially it should have been a soup, but eventually evolved into a stew after i mixed up the ingredients from 2 different recipes in a cooking book). However, the deep black-dark blue colour of my masterpiece triggered an instantaneous lack of appetite, so I can't share any oppinions on its taste.;-) Cya around


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3950)   ranked 79 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

You are allowed. LOL!
So, didn you taste it at all?

The first time I cooked was actually an fried egg. hehe hate the oil and scared ot them cause they pop up when i throw the eggs...


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3950)   ranked 79 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

I never tried this in my house because my mom is a vegetarian but one other dish with egg which is made by using raw egg's yolk by frying it on frying pan, I can't recall the name right now, is the most difficult dish, I have ever seen in my life for cooking. I have not seen many people cooking it with perfection.

The first food I ever cooked was rice. Steamed it more likely but it wasn't that easy. It came out too dry the first time and too soft the second. I was like 12-13 yrs old that time. After I mastered cooking the rice I started cooking the easy ones - eggs (fried, boiled, poached, scrambled...you name it). I messed up big time with all other foods I tried to cook then. I really just learned how to cook after i got married. I guess it's a matter of responsibility for the family:)


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3950)   ranked 79 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

Rice is the easiest food to start with. Even if it look easy but it is not. You need to estimate the correct amount of water into it, isn't it?
My mom is the best in cooking, I feel. She started cooking at the age of only 9! She is a master.
What is "scrambled" egg?

It was shrimp curry for my husband back when I was first married and was about 19 years old. i don't know if it was the curry or my cooking but I didn't like and I am reasonably sure my husband didn't either although he tried to be nice about it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3950)   ranked 79 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

he he! He would have surly liked it. Afterall it was the first food cooked by his wife. So, was he aware that it was your first food for your life?


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (5000)   ranked 2,359 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

Yes, he was aware. Didn't want to bury the ship I guess. haha

The 1st food I cooked was french toast in eggs, ate with honey and also tomato sauce. This was the first ever food I cooked for my husband. I still remember it. And yes, my mum is a good cook as well but her cooking can't beat my grandma's cooking but all the same they are the best. I have never cook before, before I got married other than some instant noodles and eggs. But after I got married I started to cook as it is much cheaper and healthier to cook and eat at home and I discovered hey...I can cook and my husband enjoys my cooking especially spaghetti. thumbup


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3950)   ranked 79 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

Yummy, I love spaghetti. I hope someday I will have a chance to eat spaghetti from you! LOL
It is great, isn't it? you have tasted cook from you mom as well as your grand mom! I have never ate from my grandma because she was too old to cook, when I was born!

Well, It was probably at the age of around 5 when I first learned how to use the stove....and I think my first official meal was ramen noodles lol...not very spectacular but when your that young it's prolly a miracle for a parent to let you touch a stove hahahaha


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3950)   ranked 79 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

Only at 5! You are really brave because I used to be scared of fire at that age. I burned my right hand with a plastic at the age of 7. After that I was very scared and till date I am afraid of fire!

i cooked first vegetable curry at my home i love this and i always tell my mom to cook it for me on every sunday. i love it because it is very tasty and smooth in eating, it contain liquid part more rather then dry vegetable. in this we can easily add any matched vegiee and it makes your hole day special thinking about it taste.


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3950)   ranked 79 out of 35,525 in people  1 year ago

Whole day special! Yes, this also is one of my favorite dish but alas, I can't cook it in a good way. I always try it and it goes bad in all the cases.

Now, I have stopped trying and enjoy it cooked by my mom!
