Who taught you to cook?

I come from a family of great cooks. My Nan was a brilliant cook and my Auntie and Mom learnt from her. My Auntie used to have a hotel and did all the cooking herself. My two cousins were both professional cooks ( retired now ). My Mom is an amazing cook ….as you know we go for a Sunday roast dinner every week and she bakes each week too. I enjoy cooking and I think I’m a good cook. Only had compliments no complaints …. Having said that ….my Dad was a great cook too …..although he said himself he doesn’t know how that happened as his Mom ( my Nan ) burnt most things …..

I taught myself. I really love cooking and I hardly eat outside

No one really...My mom taught me some baking, but she would never allow me to make supper. I guess she thought I would poison everyone or something...I don't know! I still haven't cooked there..Sis and bro in law always do everything. Crazy huh? I am not a bad cook. I taught people in group homes how to cook. No one ever complained.

I taught myself, mom wasn't very patient

I taught myself to cook. Each week I'd pick a cookbook and a couple of recipes to try.

I credit one grandmother and my special Aunt for teaching me to cook. I’ve always enjoyed cooking, it’s good therapy, and everyone, male or female, needs to learn some basic cooking skills and at least how to cook some basic meals that taste good. Before they went off to college, all of my kids knew how to cook basic meals and how to shop for them. My oldest son married a lovely lady who loves to bake but absolutely hates making meals. She knows how, but she would rather clean or do the dishes, so he cooks a lot. They work together on meals when they can. My youngest daughter loves to cook. Son here enjoys it, too. My oldest daughter can cook but she hates it. Her husband is a gourmet cook and loves cooking, so they often work together on it, too.

Nobody really taught me how to cook. Gramma used to tell me things and show me stuff. I remember this time of the year I would miss my Dad so much. He would be out in the field by the time that the sun came up and we were all still in bed, and he would come in for the noon meal, but being at school, I never saw him then, and he wouldn't come in until dark but I was always in bed. Some nights I would make him a cheese sandwich and take it out to the field but I remember one time I took some leftover potatoes out of the fridge and fried them up in a frying pan and warmed up some leftover meatloaf for when he came in from the field. I remember him chuckling and telling people at my wedding, it was the best fried potatoes that he had ever eaten. Anything for my Dad, anything.

I learned from my mom but Pretty learned from me. Pretty KNOWS how to cook but very rarely does. She hates cooking.

I learned some from my mom and grandmother. But mostly had to find my own way as I was always out in the barn

I was never interested in cooking but what I did learn, I learnt from my Mum.

That's very good to hear more men cook now. I learned from 2 generations of grandmothers. But it was not a ton lol, a lot was self taught
