I tried cooking before but it seems that I can't make it perfect. I always want to cook something special for my family but I am afraid to fail and they won't like the taste of the food. I am planning to buy a cook book and try again. Hope by next year I can cook and prepare food perfectly for them.

I can cook, though sometimes my food taste bad. I still continue to learn to cook even though I was able to cook some dishes. I always wanted to serve a new menu of simple materials.

cooking needs practice and knowing what your family likes. you can learn recipes from cookbooks but the kind of cooking your family wants is up to your personal style. if you're unsure, you can make them taste it so that they can make suggestions on how they like it to be done.

Hi, Thanks. I guess the entire family will enjoy the food if each member has a participation in the cooking.If we continue doing it I may get used to their taste and I can cook alone and surprise them someday.

Hello cherryamor, I received a cook book as a wedding gift. I was quite surprised by the book's content. I think it was a "Betty Crocker" Cook Book. The book contained everything from how to boil water to how long to keep foods. There was a wealth of information in that book. Then, the book went on to divide all type of foods to cook with recipes. Yes, a basic cook book will help. Then, after you experience cooking for awhile, you will become a good cook, and explore other types of foods and deserts to cook. :)

You have a long way to study the recipes.. But if I were you, better try it now, cook a little, then taste it from time to time. hehehe.. You will never learn those unless you try. Dont rely on recipes, a lot of recipe books dont reveal the secret of how it is cook perfectly.. Good Luck...
