I'm 22 and I'm a newbie to cooking... and so far its going pretty well!!! well as long as i closely follow the directions.... dinners and desserts... after watching "Waitress" I'm on a pie kick... uummmm..... not sure.... making cookies on christmas eve... flan... doesnt seem that big of a deal but it was something i always thought was A LOT harder then it really is... Flan... making a double batch and not following the instructions.... ended horrible but still edible... just ugly... and also ran out of regular butter and used "i cant belive its not butter" as a a subsitute... BIG MISTAKE... hahahaha.... im sure there will be plenty more...
