well i started cooking when i was around 18-19.i just got inspired to cook one day while watching the food network.my first meal was a simple sun dried tomato and pasta dish that could of definitely use some improving!but i stuck to it and got more and more comfortable in the kitchen.i even have a mini arsenal of quickneasy recipes now. PASTA! im hispanic and cant cook rice for my life! another favorite ingredient of mine is broccoli making a dish for my moms work holiday party and my mom coming back saying people devoured it,that felt nice, also anytime my picky eater sister compliments my cooking anything in my first couple of months cooking and rice .. i cannot cook rice
