tender dinner of tube steak and meat pie.

My parents were both great cooks, I learned by eating their food, and making inferences and asking questions as an adult

I taught myself.

Growing up, my mother could NOT cook, despite the fact that she did all the time.

Food was never seasoned in the slightest, not even salt.

Anything in a pan that required butter or oil, my mother would instead put a tiny dab of fake butter.

My parents taught me. Then I learned more myself because macrobiotic hippy shit is not fun to eat or prepare. Then I went to cooking school. Now I am the teacher.

My mother and the 2 years of culinary arts that my school had as an elective

My mother taught me when I was young, as did my grandmother. I was also enrolled in a cooking summer camp run by a local chef for one summer when I was 11 or 12.


Here is what I made for dinner today, braised chicken thighs with a side of garlic bread, steamed carrots, butter fried asparagus, and a quick pan sauce made from the braising juices once it was done.

I’ve just kinda winged it, reading recipes and watching videos.

>>13944516
same pretty much, doesn't take a genius to look at various recipes and taking that information to make your own version suiting what you've got in your kitchen.

here is a pot roast I did a week or so ago.

I wanted to do steaks this weekend but my local grocery store was all out of any decent steaks.

My dad taught me how to grill meat to perfection. I worked at a gastropub thay served a variety of asian and american cuisine and learned a lot about plating, and what ingredients to combine to reach the flavor you are looking for. I also watch food network shows and ive learned quite a bit from Ramsay as well.

I started off baking homemade oatmeal cookies when I was young. I mostly taught myself with some help from my mother.
Plus, I've lurked /ck/ for several years now and I've learned a lot.

i taught myself
ma cooked for us up until i reached about 8th grade, then she got tired of my picky dad complaining about little shit so i had to start cooking for myself. she only made basic bitch british-tier meals with only salt as seasoning. things like roast beef and potatoes, baked chicken and white rice, meatloaf and gravy and mash, on special days we had just chicken and cheese quesodillas.

now i make all sorts of cultural stuff. but mainly i rotate every few months between french cooking, italian/greek cooking, levantine cuisine. i love bacon wrapped falafel and greek yogurt sauce. and the good ol' baguette and cheese lunch. what do they call that? the ploughmans meal or something?

anyway, parents dont go near my cooking. too spicy for them. they never try my stuff even if i dont add spices. they just eat ice cream and cookies all day now. fast food for lunch. it shames me.

She shouldn't be using a metal spatula. Even though it's not a non-stick pan, it can still make little scratches which food will get caught in. Wood or plastic are the only acceptable options.

Man that sounds good anon but your presentation couldn’t be much worse. Trying better plating, even if you are only cooking for yourself, and you‘Llywen dérive greater satisfaction from your meals.

you forgot the stain on his shirt, that collar, and that the storage system seems to be buckets

>There's nothing in the pan
THERES NOTHING IN THE PAN

my grandma

>>13942183
My father taught me some of the basics of cooking just out of the blue one day, later I took what I'd learnt and started to just improvise and experiment with what we had.
Started cooking dinners for the whole family and bonded with my dad a bit, made me realize whats important in life... thanks dad

>>13946718
I don't get it. How did cooking food make you realize that nothing in life is important?

>>13942183
Hunger.

>>13946728
Poor choice of words... but it helped me realize I should enjoy the little things in life a bit more, not just playing video games and whatnot

>>13942183
