I am a 16 year old male and I haven't really cooked much. I'm pretty good at burning things though :). I like cooking quick and easy desserts. I also like to try out new recipes that I've never tasted before. I made an awesome batch of cookies today :D. I also made a really good casserole a while back. When I first started cooking I decided to make a pot of chili and I didn't know you were supposed to thaw out the hamburger first. The burnt smell was in the kitchen for days ;).
