I started out when I was little by helping my mom bake cookies at a young age. I worked my way up to where I am at now which is the main cook of my house hold. I am an outdoorsy person(anywhere from getogether on the lake to hiking in the mountains) I dont have any one favorite thing to cook. If I was to choose I would say anything Italian but that could change the more I get into Mediterranean, Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian etc. Every year we would go to one of my aun'ts and ung;e's house for Thanksgiving and another for Christmas Eve. When ever my mom had a desert to make whether she decided on making, cookies, pi cake etc. she would let me make it with her supervision until I was old enough to do it on my own. Can't think of any good enough at the moment that I want to put down. once I tried to make Cream of Eggplant Soup. That was a bad idea because it ended up smelly bad and it stunk up the house.
