At What Age Did You Start Cooking Food?

[Kaitlyn Canedy]

I was not allowed to cook on the stove until I was a teenager! I guess my parents didn't trust me with the stove. I cook now, but there are times when I am not the best at it.

I helped cook for as far back as I can remember but as for cooking a meal by myself? I think I was 11.

I wasn't allowed in the kitchen at my parents' house, so it would have been after I moved out. Probably 18 then. And it was such a treat to do my own cooking! I loved it then, and I still do.

As a child, I used to help my mom and grandma around the kitchen all the time, but I did no actual cooking, just prepping. I started cooking when I was 18 and moved away from home for college, and I'm a pretty good cook now

I started cooking, while I was in primary three. I would cut the onions and tomatoes and asked my mom to stir so as to mix the ingredients, if she is frying.

I started cooking in girl scouts at 9. But most of the time it was a major disaster unless I was told exactly what to do.Finally about the age of 30 I started reading more cookbooks and watching videos online and actually became a pretty decent cook.

The biggest problem was my mom didn't want us in the kitchen because it was just faster if she did it herself. Since I wasn't taught it took a while and many failures trying to figure it all out. Still learning to this day. Problem was I wasn't able to really teach my kids either hopefully I'll have a chance with the grand kids.

I started cooking at age 11. Dad never wanted me to take part in anything as the last born of the house but all thanks to mum.

I started helping my mom in the kitchen at around 8 years of age. I thunkni cooked my first full meal at around 14 years of age. I made many sides to go with main courses though. Once I got my dad's approval, I knew it tasted great!

I started cooking at the age of 10 . This is an inherited love of mine since my father loves to cook . My grandmother taught him.

Frankly, at the age of 19 will in college. My meals were either tasteless or too salty. I knew something was wrong but being an over pampered child, I didn't know how to pin point the exact mistake each food had. I forced myself to eat those foods then compare it with my mother's food whenever i travel home from the college. This was so in order that I learn how good tasty food should really taste

The first time I ever tried cooking anything was when I was five. I attempted to cook scrambled eggs, and I remember accidentally dumping in so much pepper that the mixture turned almost black... It wasn't very tasty.

I was about eleven when I started with chocolate lava cakes.

[Neoli]

I think I was about 10 when I started to cook. If I remember correctly, I became interested in cooking after watching a lot of cooking shows with my mom and helping her out in the kitchen.

[CupofJoie]

I started cooking at the age of 19 The solo condominium life forced me to . Anyways, I’m slowly falling in love with it I guess it’s never too late to learn anything!

[Honest-reviewer]

I think I was 13 years old. I remember making my first dish which was instant noodles. I made my own recipe and not according to the instructions.
