I got into cooking two years ago and it has become my favorite hobby. I cook for my husband, family, and friends and they love the dishes and treats I make. I usually cook Italian and Mexican and occasionally I bake desserts and appetizers. I try to make my most of my dinners low carb. I learned a lot of cooking techniques from my mother, who is from Puerto Rico. She would cook very healthy meals, like Italian, American, and Mexican. My first great cooking experience was making chicken with tarragon cream for a small dinner party. I just made up a recipe for chicken vegetable stew, which was delicious. I used to not be that great at cooking so the chicken would not always be cooked, but I learned that I have to at least cook them 7 minutes on each side.
