I've always worked in the restaraunt industry and b/c of that and the way I 've been brought up I love to cook! My Mom and Grandma taught me how to cook and I've always enjoyed cooking for everybody I know! In fact, I'm thinking of going and getting a degree in culinary arts just so I can have my own restaraunt someday. I love to cook ethnic foods, things I've never cooked before and I always love to cook things that other people love. I will always cook food that I grew up with as well and I love it when people love to eat what I grew up eating. Especially when my I know that I'm carrying on a family tradition. I loved helping my Grandma and my Mom to cook! My grandma taught me how to make Chicken Noodle Soup for everybody the way that she did and I will always treasure that memory! My mother taught me how to cook all of our family favorites and nobody else and I will never tell how to make what I make b/c it makes me feel special that I know and nobody else does. Being able to copy things that I've had at restaraunts and being able to cook everything my Mom does and make it taste good! Oh yeah I made up my own recipe for stir-fry when I was 14 and I have always been proud of it! I haven't had any real tragedies I'd call them learning experiences!
