Started in middle school. I hated having to cook at such a young age.

Around 8, just little stuff. By 14, you could say I had "graduated."

For me 14 is really early. I started cooking after I was 16 years old.

For real? I always ended up burning everything in my kitchen while making just a cup of tea or even maggi.

I still don't like cooking though. I just do it cos I have to.
Hat's off to you. I could have never done that. I cannot even cook for myself let along for 6 other people in my family. :oops:

I think I started around 12 becuase I became a girl scout and you needed to make your own food and stuff.

I started cooking I think at the age of 9 or 10.I'm used to watching my mom cook when I was young and I get to like it so even at a young age I already learn how to cook some basic foods.

I started cooking very young, around 8 or 9. We had a family with 5 children and each one of us had particular chores. Cooking was something I was good at so it became my chore.

My mom definitely taught me how to make certain dishes as a kid (not sure what age I started) and I helped her fairly regularly. But I feel like I really mastered cooking in my twenties.

Mom was never one to leave anything to chance. I started kitchen duties when the moment my head passed the kitchen counter top. At age 10
