I have been cooking in restaurants for years now and have become quite good from this professional experience. I love to cook new things but probably mostly pasta dishes or asian dishes. LOL too funny nobody from my family can really cook so I'm not too sure where I got it from. I guess for me was all the compliments to the chef that I recieved from in the restaurants. I do remember this time at work I tried making banana muffins without my recipe but must have forgotten the amount of baking powder or flour because they didnt rise as much as they should have. How embarassing!
