I'd say around 12, I started making more "advanced" meals. Before that, it was mostly ramen noodle, pasta and eggs!

My foster family never taught me how to cook but I"m getting there on my own. Wish I had started younger.

I was always around food and helping my mother as a young child. I got by okay in college, but I would say I started to become a competent cook in my early 20's. that was when I could alter recipies and create edible meals with what I had on hand.

At the age of ten i was cooking.

When I was a kid I was a kitchen helper (washing, opening containers, etc). Once I could chop well and could reach the stovetop I was cooking meals(so 10-11?). It's been a great backup when I needed a job. Everyone has to eat, right?

As for some people not teaching their children how to cook? There are a variety of reasons for that, some mothers are overly possessive of their kitchen. Some think their kids aren't capable (usually false). Some parents don't know how to cook and the family just goes to restaurants or eats prepared meals. I plan to teach my children how to cook and so does my husband (he better, he's a chef!).

I don't remember exact age, but i started cooking since i am small.I love to cook,especially to try new recipes, so started it when I am small itself.

Like 10 or 11. I mean I had 2 working parents and 2 older siblings in activities. I had to learn quick if I wanted to eat

The first time I “made cookies” I was about a year old. I sat on the counter as my grandma made them. The first time I really cooked I was probably 6 or 7.

At the young age of 7, I remembered I started cooking the way primitive people did. I cooked rice using firewood and cooking pot on a tripod. It was not properly cooked due to insufficient water. What my mother did was put some salt on top of the cooking pot cover. The steam from the salt had cooked the rice properly.

At the age of 14 got sisters ahead of me so they would do it

That'll be 15. My dad was so scared I'd probably burn the house down... Which I obviously didn't!

I started cooking at the age of 11. As a growing child, I admired my mother's cooking abilities and dreamt of being like her someday. As soon as I was grown enough to understand the kitchen safety rules, I begged my mother for an opportunity to cook and she obliged.
