I've been cooking sice I was 8 years old. My mom didn't like to cook, but she could sew anything, so we traded, she would make my clothes and I would make dinner. Almost anything. I like to try out new recipes on firends, then after I've made it according to the recipe, I make the changes I think will make a more interesting meal. We don't really have any. Usually, when I try a new recipe for friends, it comes out very well. Once I made soup and used a chicken bouillon I had never tried before and didn't realize it was so salty. My family all took one taste and didn't say much. I tasted it and told everyone not to eat any more it was took salty, so I took the soup, added more vegetables and water and then it was good.
