I am 46 yrs old, married to a man who loves food. I watched my mother cook as a small child and started cooking meals for the family around 12 yrs old. Now I absoletly LOVE to cook! I spend hours in the kitchen every day! It is definately become a hobby and I see myself getting better and better. We avoid red meats. I like to cook with fish and organic chicken and vegetarian meals. I love to use a lot of spices in my dishes. I try to cook things using all natural ingredients. My mother and I baked several different kinds of cookies for christmas. I am newly married and my husband who has ate all his bachelor meals at restaurants says that my food is better than any restaurant he has ever been. Not paying close enough attention to a recipe and forgetting an ingredient or important step, hense, ruining the dish.
