Do you learn how to cook from your Mother?

I learn how to cook from my grandmother,when I was a little girl.But I don't learn so much,coz I was at my grandmother's house only in my summer or winter vacations.After some year,when I was student of University,I must to cook.My friends learned me,I learned them...so I can now cook for my family :).I think if I don't know to cook,I use a cook-book,coz if we will go out to eat that cost so much! :)

Yes, I learned to cook from my mother and a little bit from my father. My mother was a good cook, and I thank God I learned a lot from her. Learning to cook was very useful to me specially now that I'm living alone, and soon ill be getting married. How I wish young daughters would think of the future and see how learning to cook at a young age is very helpful. It may be stressful at the time, there might be many complaining, but it's worth it.

I often tried to learn how to cook from my mother, but I would make so many mistakes trying to cook like her. I would go out of my way of cooking something that no one has cooked, or I would read cookbooks and magazines to find information about how to cook a gourmet meal. It can be difficult for me to know how my mother cooks her food. It can be very complicated.

I don't know that I learned from my mother so much as I think I learned by just doing. I think most cooking is common sense really. What is there to learn? You can peel a potato and you can boil water, right, and you can fry a pork chop with putting a little salt on it, can't you? And you know how to boil some water for vegetables. Once you know how to do those things I think then you could get a cookbook and try to make some fancier recipes. Most things are cooked the same, it's just learning to add different spices and different ingredients to make things taste differently. I hope some of this helps you to learn. I am trying to be helpful. Just try to cook and see what happens, and then experiment with different tastes and such. Cheers, Chris

Well, my mom did teach me to cook a few things. However, neither of my parents didn't force me or my younger sister to learn how to cook or anything like that.

I learned most about cooking from my mother, but it was more observational than instructional. She did instruct me re a few of her recipes. I was always interested in food because of my father's love of good food and my mother's good cooking. I also watched Julia Child and enjoyed her love of cooking. I really don't know just how I started cooking, but it was always easy enough for me to learn from cookbooks before the advent of the Food Network.

I think that everyone, man or woman, should learn how to cook to at least a basic level. I think that it's an essential life skill. My mother, who was born in 1916, thought that men did not need to be able to cook because they'd get married and then there wife would be cooking for them and so I was never shown how to cook nby my mother. Since I did think that the ability to prepare my own food was an essential life skill, I taught myself how to cook from reading books and by trial and error. It's one of life's ironic twists though that at the end of my mothers life, I ended up looking after her, cooking for both of us and doing all the other household tasks that she was not capable of managing for herself anymore, while I was working full time as well.

Yeah I'm always trying out new recipes and telling my mother to teach me how to cook some of the dishes that she makes so that when I move out and get my own place I know how to cook and I won't have to order in every night. I think it is important, no matter if you are male or female, that you learn how to cook because ordering food from a restaurant everyday is very expensive.

Yes,it is my mother who first taught how to cook. From cooking rice to simple dishes like boiling egg or fried eggs. But most of my cooking i learn from my husband. He is a good cook and he really loves to cook becoz he loves to eat too. Have a good day always

My mother has always been a good cook. She is not the person that i have learned all of my cooking skills from. My grandmother taught me the most about cooking. I also took home economics in school. this helped a great deal furthering my cooking abilities. Still, i give most of the credit to my late grandmother.

For me yes I copied my mother the ability to cooked but sadly my mother don't know how to cooked me also don't know.

Although both my sisters and mother advise me to learn how to cook following them, I choose to refuse all the time. Of course, that doesn't mean that I am not good at cooking. You see, everyday, I tend to spend much time on the Internet and I can find many free cooking introductions. With the help of those introductions online, I can learn cooking with an easier way.

I would love to.... she is really a great cook!!!

yes i learn cook with my mom two although i am a boy, i think we need a cook skill to..not just eat at shop,even to cook instant nooble..hehehe

I knew my mother was an excellent cook. She cooked all the things each and every member of the family liked to have. My sister became a good cook too learning from our mother. But, me ? No ! I am a bad cook. I just never learned how to cook things. I really missed that opportunity. Today, all I know how to cook is to boil water for making coffee in the morning.

I learned some things from my mother. Some of the basics like how to make eggs. I also took cooking classes when I was at school. In American Home Economics which includes cooking, sewing, and misc. home information is required learning. One year at least is required. It teaches basic cooking and baking as well as basic sewing skills. So I learned more from there, and then I taught myself using books and TV, mostly books. I am a very good cook now so you can learn from reading books.

yes, I also learned to cook from my mother. I can cook, because my mother. I used to lazy to help my mother cook, but now I feel its benefits, it often helped my mother cook.

yeah, i like help my mother when cooking, So i now can cook some dishes

I think all parents want the best for their child. They wouldn't be blamed for they didn't teach us to cook. My mother didn't want me in the kitchen, I was supposed to study, and that's what I did. But when I left to college, I found myself in front of the stove, without having a clue about how to cook. I only knew how to fry eggs and how to make fries. My roommate was just like me, so we both started to learn how to cook. We invented dishes and when we got lost, we used to call our mothers to get help.

Yes, i learned to cook from my mother, my mother had a restaurant business and she was the one who the foods in the menu, i always help her to cook, i was the food tester, she teach all the basics things then i watch her how she cook, sometimes we make some food for ourselves, like chinese noodles.
