How old were you when you began to cook? What was your first dish? How Old Were You When You Began to Cook? What Was Your Starter Dish? Was it a success?? :winky: I was probably 12 when I concocted a spaghetti sauce recipe and began preparing spaghetti with meatballs and sausage for my family and the neighbors family ~ it was pretty darn good!! Homemade garlic bread too!! PS--By cooking I exclude preparing processed, prepackaged foods (Kraft Mac, Campbell's Soup, canned biscuits, etc.) |
I was 18. My Mom didnt teach me how to cook she worked in the evening and I ate alot of processed foods. I would go to my grandmas for Sunday dinners though and watch her cook so Ive incorporated some of the things she cooked into some of my dinners. I think the first thing I cooked was a pasta dish. |
I taught both of my kids how to cook, although my DS was/ is a more eager learner (he is food motivated :D:D) First thing I taught DS was his favorite eggs over easy. Then I taught him homemade salsa and tacos (no seasoning packet) and along the way things like eggrolls and the buffalo chicken dip and chicken and rice casserole :ladywinks I think my DD can make ramen noodles pretty well :D She bakes better than I do though! :thumbup: |
:D I think I was 11 when I first learnt to cook - that's the age over here when we go to Secondary School - or Grammar School if you're clever...ahem!!! ;) :p :D Back then, we either HAD to do Cookery (it was called Home Economics) or Woodwork!!! :) Our first dish we had to make was a Sausage Plait.....hmmm....reminds me of another thread! :eek: :D |

We had to take home economics too. I believe that was in 6th grade, so I would have been around 11. Love how the math all comes together in the end :) |
I think I was around 12, I had watched my mom cook before but never done anything on my own. I wanted to surprise everyone and have dinner ready when mom and dad got in from work. I made fried chicken with gravy and mashed potatoes. It was pretty good for my first attempt at cooking...though the mashed potatoes and the gravy were hard to tell apart:D |

I had the best H.E. teacher in the world. We went on learning dinner trips once a month to try different cuisines. I accredit Mrs Daggett :rip: for my love of food and cooking and different cuisines today!! We went to local restaurants in the evening (on her own time) to sample: Greek Italian Japanese Indian Mexican Ethiopian Thai German And probably more that I am forgetting. I took her class for 4 years straight both semesters per year. |
:D I think the teacher makes the world of difference - in any subject....:) By the end of our first year, we were making beef casserole, jalousie, all different types of bread - the list was endless. She was amazing, her name was Miss Carrot....:eek: :D I remember a few friends and I bunking off down to town at lunchtime - we spotted her in the Indian restaurant. We were all about to run off when she saw us and beckoned us in....:eek: Yep, she ended up buying for us all, and she never did 'tell' on us....Happy Days! :D |
I don't think we ever made anything worth talking about in Home Economics. I remember my grandmother standing me up on a chair when I was about 7 or 8yrs. old and teaching me how to make just a plain pound cake. First cake with no icing or anything. lol!! It was pretty good though. |
I was 11 when I began cooking. I started with a typical Southern breakfast fryed eggs,bacon,biscuits and grits. Dinner firsts were spagetti sauce and lazagna. My mom was expecting my younger brother and she didtnt feel very well. |

If you have a room full of 100 people and ask those who LIKE curry to raise their hands I am guessing about 30 would say they like it. Ask again how many have tried Indian food to raise their hands I am betting 15 would raise their paws. Most here think a curry is a curry is a curry....maybe a new food topic :thinking: :dreaming: :D |

I was 17 and had moved in with my boyfriend. I decided to cook fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy for my mom and dad and boyfriend. The chicken and potatoes were good. The gravy, not so much. I used the entire stockpot of grease I had cooked the chicken in!!! I never watched my mom only use part of the grease to make her gravy lol. That stuff kept growing and growing and growing..... |
