Re: At What Age Did You Start Cooking Food?

Post by Snowhite189 »

When I was already in high school when my mom taught how to work on with simple recipe, it never been easy because my mind that time was't in the cooking i had no interest I just have this thought whatever be will be the outcome let it be, but later on as I age I realize the importance of cooking how will I able to eat my favorite dish If I don't know how to prepare it so I tug along with 2 of my friends and they taught me how to do simple dish, Lolz. The struggle is there but it paid off and I succeed and I continue learning.

So young I don't even remember. I DO remember coming into the kitchen one Saturday morning to find my three year old sister scrambling eggs all by her lonesome. I can only assume that as soon as we were all big enough to push a chair over to the stove we've been cooking. Everyone in my immediate family cooks for themselves.

I think I might have been about 8 or 9. My mother hated cooking. So my older brother and I learned to take over fairly early.

I was helping in the kitchen from age 6 with cooking and cleaning. I never liked cooking. When I was 11 I remember making dinner, by myself, for our family: toasties (or jaffles as they're called here in Australia) in a sandwich press. By the time I left to go to uni I could make rice (in a rice cooker) and a couple of not very tasty curries. My sister and I were always expected to help in the kitchen; my brother never did. My mother never liked me and was a terrible cooking teacher. She screamed at me every time I did something wrong so I avoided her and did the bare minimum (washing rice and cleaning dishes) mostly. My sis was always glued to my mother and she was the better cook. I can cook now, just had to learn by myself.

I started cooking at age 8. My mother used to cook food and sell it to workers near our house. I always help her, we wake up at 3am go to market, prepare everything before start cooking. I learned everything from her! 😉
