I started cooking when I was quite young because of the YouTube videos I watched with an aunt. The first thing that I made were chocolate lava cakes and I have been making them for over five years now. They just got better.

Peanut Butter Fudge or Why Dad Lost His Babysitting Privileges
My mother rarely left my father in charge of us unless it was absolutely necessary.
Why?
My dad just loved to have fun!
When the evening was done, the house would be a huge mess!
So, I guess that day, when my mum had to go to a meeting that was a few minutes away, I suppose she thought it would be okay to leave us with dad that day.
What could happen after all?

Cooked peanut butter fudge was the what!

My mother had taught me to make a no-cook peanut butter fudge from the side of the peanut butter jar, but the jar had been tossed out.

Hmm... what to do?

I hollered from the kitchen to ask dad if I could have permission to make peanut butter fudge.
"Does your mother let you make peanut butter fudge?" he replied.
"Oh, yes! She taught me how!"
I neglected to say the jar seemed to have been tossed away, but when mum's away, the children play!

I leafed through a huge cookbook and took a look to see if I could find a peanut butter fudge recipe.
Following the directions carefully, I made some delicious cooked fudge.

When mum came home, she looked at Dad with a face of stone.
After that, she never left us at home with him alone.

I once tried to make chocolate milk out of the little squeeze-able packets of unsweetened baking chocolate. Very bitter.

The first thing I learned to cook for myself (at age 10) was scrambled eggs :D It still has a special place in my heart now

Eggs, I think. I made lemonade once when I was very little. I quick ran to get some out of the fridge in the middle of the movie, got back in the chair, wrapped a blanket around myself, and got ready to take a drink, when all of a sudden, the alien on the show squirted out a bunch of whitish-yellowish fluid - I looked down at the lemonade - my oldest brother happened to come by and see what I was watching, asked me if I liked the movie, and started laughing and laughing...

I think it's tea. I remember there's a day I was left alone at home and I couldn't imagine my parents coming home from work to find nothing to drink or eat. I decided to prepare tea and it turned out great.

Ok so here is the thing I am in now way a cook. Now keeping that in mind I decided to try and make bread. So I bought a bread maker and everything to make bread. I followed all the directions and waited for it to finish. Imagine my horror when it came out of the bread maker and fell onto the tile floor of the kitchen and put a small crack into the tile because it was as hard as a brick. Never tried making bread again.
I have learned that my expertise in cooking is with pasta dishes. I make a great shrimp penne Alfredo from scratch.

I made rice and hotdogs when I was maybe 8 or 9. It was a learning experience for sure as I never knew how hard it was to make rice.

When I was 14 I learned how to make pancakes from my cousin. For years that was the only thing I knew how to cook.

I am a kid who was never interested in cooking. But when I went to a different city and started staying away from home in a hostel, I didn’t have much pocket-friendly food options. That’s when I decided that I will cook favourite meals on my own and I bought an Induction Cooktop. Since then I have been learning simple recipes like Pancakes, Poha, Tea, Lemon Rice, Indian Breads, Gravies etc. and started enjoying the process. It also helped us greatly when the mid-night hunger struck.
