I am 18 and love to cook for my fiance and myself. My mother taught me all the simple things about cooking that has led to some wonderful things i have learned how to make. Allrecipes has expanded my cooking skills. I hope to start culinary school in the next couple of years. Teriyaki chicken, country fried steak, and beef stew. This would probably have to be the use of the cast iron skillet, such a great invention. My first attempt at broccoli cheese soup.
