When and At what age did you start learning cooking? was it because you were curious to learn it, intersted in it or cuz mama made you learn it (Lol)?. Do you enjoy cooking?.
Do you cook well? what do people say about your cooking abilities? do you enjoy cooking?..Whats your favorite thing to make? And lastly but def the most imp…are you a clean cook or a messy one? lol meaning do you like having your stuff organised while cooking…washing stuff in between to avoid buckets of utensils 2 be cleaned at the end…having everything u need 2 use for cooking arranged other than runing here and there 2 find it lol or you just like to do it in a messy way

I only learnt how to cook after I married. I wish I had learned when I was still at home with my mom because she is a great cook. I do enjoy cooking, but these days Im working full time so I dont have the energy and time to cook like I used to before. I like to keep everything organized when Im cooking, I line up everything I need out on the counter beforehand and clean up as Im going along because I hate seeing a mess in my kitchen!

I started cooking at the age of 11 I was an expert at this age in cooking rice of every kind, at around the age of 15 I was able to cook dhaals and veggies and curries.

share your thoughts, views and experiences...:)
I was simply curious to learn cooking and other house chores.I started early(was 12 I guess )
but that was a more like a hobby in start.I offically started to cook few years ago.I am a clean freak and I keep washing every dish while cooking and leave a clean kitchen when i am done :)
I enjoy cooking when i dont have to go to work cause I like to spend time on cooking ,jan churaanna wali cooking i dont like.
...mujhe bhi ^^.....im so bad at cooking.....the only thing i can cook is lamb curry...and cant cook anything else..i feel so sorry for my hubby...i wish i was a really gud cook!
Started cooking coz ammi wasn't around and there was no halal food in the town I went to college in. Called up abbu (He is an expert in cooking :) ) at 3 am and asked him abbu I feel like having chicken how do I cook it. And then started learning one by one thanks to desicookbook.com. And also remembered the technique of my ammi for making stuff (used to stand near her in the kitchen when she was cooking) and now alhamdulillah can make a lot of stuff.
I enjoy cooking but don't have as much time (I work full time) and I clean as I go as well, by the time my handi is done I would like the kitche to be clean as well. That way after a nice dinner I dont' walk into the kitchen and scream.
I truly believe bhuk insaan ko cooking sikha deytee hai :)
I started cooking at the age of may be 13. I saw ammi to cook so I know how to cook one day she was going outside then I took my first attempt and I made daal, chawal and aaloo bhujiya, when my ammi came back and saw my first attempt, she was happy.
Before marriage my ammi taught how to cook and I don't like to cook but I did all kinds of baking like cakes and cookies at that time my brother loves my baking items, but after marriage I personally took interest in cooking becoz my hubby loves to try new dishes.
During cooking I wash utensils, cleans counter tops and after I done I clean oven and floor too. I like to cook in clean kitchen. Right now I know how to cook and cooks almost perfectly. Right now I can make Pakistani and Continental dishes very well.
i learned to cook at a very young age. started with chai and custard, and then moved on to chawal mostly cuz i wanted to, and also cuz my cousin who’s older than me was like a freakin’ expert at 12 and i hated all the attention she got i did a lot of cooking for a while, but then as i got more serious with school work i kinda quit. i now do it in summers or when ammi can’t for whatever reason.
my dad loves my cooking…but i think it’s cuz he’s my dad. my khala commends my cooking, which is saying a lot cuz she cooks really well, and rarely likes anyone else’s food . i think i can cook well. and i do enjoy it as well. my favorite thing would be ummmm chicken manchurian i guess. it’s pretty fun to make it lol. and i am a very messy cook. i use all the pots and pans and chamchas i can. though i am trying to cut down on it i really hate doing dishes so i try to put it off. though ammi refuses to do dishes i use when i cook, so i have to clean up after myself now
hmmm I started cooking late but became a pro pretty quick was probably around 22. the couple of times i cooked before that was disastrous. I remember once my chachi who was sick asked me to follow her instructions and cook daal and kaddu as she was sick. I was living at their place prior to moving to boarding school. So she told me that she had some peeled garlic on the shelf and I should use that. I went ahead and put in all the garlic she had there which was a LOT so at the end it was more like garlic ka saalan than anything else. but everyone ate it probablycos they didnt want me crying as I did baat baat pe cos I was away from parents, heh. chachi was like, femme agar meine ya banaya hota tau ur chacha would have been upset over it, tum ne banaya hei tau chup kar ke kha liya awwwwwww my chacha
