Are you an expert in cooking?

Yes, I was in a hurry so I forgot to put the plate next to the stove. Luckily i didn't fall asleep while cooking.

@LadyDuck hopefully not, if I want to sleep my eyes feel like they want to close.

@May2k8 Better NOT, I have seen YouTube videos of disaster caused by people who fell asleep while food was in the oven.

as long as it feels right there is no problem with it.

That nice, This isn't actually my hobby, it's a necessity, and my mother has taught me several things, and I need to be able to do them. From cooking until repairing electrical equipment, I've learned from experience.

I understand, we need experience to become experts. And there is no such thing as stopping learning as long as we can.

@Shivram59 It doesn't matter on age, I am already over 40 though.

@May2k8 I'm now 30 and can continue learning for a long time.

you are right, the first time I cooked it it was very salty and now maybe now I know how to balance the taste.

I learned from my mother; she used to be a skilled cook, but since suffering a stroke, she can no longer cook, so I have taken it upon myself to learn whatever I can.

@nawala123 My mother shared the recipe with me—that is how my cooking came to be just as delicious as hers—but I didn't stop there; I kept experimenting until I found the perfect version.

@May2k8 my mom cooks well and i always love it. The taste is so different

Regarding health, it will be difficult because every human body has very unique substances.

@luisadannointed There are some people who do not care about their own bodies; what matters to them is that it tastes good. Yet, what tastes good isn't necessarily good for the body.

@May2k8 I think every people know their own body, except for those who are not really aware of their illness that runs to their families. I am a bit sad about it.

If it weren't for my mother who is now unable to do anything, I would try as hard as I can. Previously I only knew how to boil water and cook noodles, but now it turns out I can cook other things too.

@May2k8 That's good. Cooking can be fun.

if it's almost burnt it might still be worth eating I need to sharpen my skills again so I can adapt.

@RebeccasFarm Of course I have limits to my abilities

@May2k8 You are over worked I am sure May.

@porwest Exactly! Without an unyielding spirit, success is impossible. We keep trying, and failing repeatedly is not an obstacle to finding new ideas.

You may not only know about the kitchen, I have seen you discuss day by day but sometimes there are no words that I can say.

@May2k8 When one has been cooking for a while, you just know how to do things, what goes well together, what different cooking methods are and so on so forth... So, you may not be an expert. But you know what works. And when you know what works, you have less failures, a much broader "idea," and more flexibility.

sometimes i forget to put a plate near the stove.

@May2k8 You may easily make a habit

It's likely that I have a cooking heritage, as everyone in my mother's family is a good cook without exception. Although men are more likely to be able to cook too. At first I often got splashed with hot oil, but in the end I was able to control myself to avoid the oil and cook with enthusiasm.

@MarieCoyle It depends on what I'm cooking, I also rarely use a lot of oil. As shown in the picture, it really needs oil until it is submerged.

@May2k8 I do use some oil but not much. I cook every day, but rarely fry anything anymore.

Previously, I didn't know how to cook at all and my mother who taught me before she couldn't cook.

@Dreamerby can learn from YouTube, don't let your phone fall into the frying pan.

@May2k8 Yes my mom will teach me someday I guessotherwise youtube

My mother taught me and actually because my mother gets tired easily, I also learned other things.

@indahwow Yes, that's right, that's why there is a saying that heaven is under the soles of a mother's feet.

@May2k8 My mother was my first teacher.

no problem with that as long as it tastes edible.

Nice, I never even imagined myself being able to cook with good.

I forgot to add a bit salt to the tempeh yesterday, but it was still delicious.

@May2k8

There was a mistake I made today, I boiled the sweet potato but the result was that it was overcooked so it was soft like porridge.

Well, togetherness is beautiful!

As long as we can make delicious food, we don't need to be experts.
