| 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?? 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 ) 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 I think my DD can make ramen noodles pretty well She bakes better than I do though!

| 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!!! 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! |

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

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 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.

| 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.... 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.... Yep, she ended up buying for us all, and she never did 'tell' on us....Happy Days! |

| 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. |

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

| 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.....
