I'm a housewife for the meantime...while waiting to become a registered nurse of Ontario. I never cook when I was in the Philippines because I'm living with my Mom but now that I'm living here in Canada I have to do everything and learn to cook the western style. I'm a beginner and I think i really want to learn how to cook and bake because the feeling is so nice when everyone is saying "that's a great meal." I'm a filipina and my mom really cooks. But being an Asian I can say we love to experiment on foods and we dont really follow any measurements..."you should have a great taste buds" I want to learn how to bake and cook so that my husband, inlaws and friends will be proud of me. I will never forget the embarrassment I had when my husband throw the food in the garbage bin because he cant eat it. That night i almost give up...But thanks to Allrecipe.com now all i can hear is " this is great honey"
