I'm African-American woman, I'm 44 yrs.old, I'm a Care Giver to my mother. I'm slowly learning from my mother on how to cook her way. Which is the right way to cook. My way so far is much more slower. I prefer to bake that is what I grew up doing. My first was a white cake while using wax paper on the bottom of the pan. German Chocolate cake, but only 2 layers. Red Velvet is my next project. But I do pies too. Just No-Bake's is what I can handle. Enjoy what mis-stakes you make,then eat the problem if you can"hoping it's not badly burned". Try,try again. The white cake was my first and it didn't burn on the bottom. Moist,sweet, so good I forgot to add a frosting. I can burn soup,rice,and onion's, toast, sunny side up eggs by walking away from the pan. A Lesson learned. Don't sign onto the computer then try to make soup,rice,onion's needed in a recipe.
