I'm 18 and would be considered a 'young' cook. I've been baking ever since I was old enough to be let loose in the kitchen! (Probably since I was about 8 years old) I've been taking my cooking seriously and preparing meals for several years. Before that I was always helping whoever would let me! I love to bake! But there is nothing like preparing a well rounded meal for my family to enjoy! I like to keep a good variety going and always enjoy trying new recipes. My family makes a middle eastern dish called, Grape Leaves. They are great, but making them is fun too!
