I have never taken any cooking courses. I learned all these things from my mother, because she really likes to teach me how to cook. Mainly because since my mother got married, she can't cook at all, even boil eggs. My grandmother never allows my mother to stay in the kitchen while cooking by herself.

My mother didn't learn to cook until she was 25. At first, cooking was strange and difficult for her. Therefore, she must attend cooking classes in order to prepare delicious food for us. After that experience, she made up her mind to teach me how to cook in person, because she didn't want me to go her old way.

I remember when I was 7 years old, my mother started cooking. I always accompany her in the kitchen when she cooks. I always help her from time to time. Sometimes, our mother is very sure about how to cook the food we prepare; Sometimes, we follow the cooking method. Now, I am very grateful to my mother for training me.

I will do the same to my children, because I don't want them to repeat their mother's old ways. If one day I am not with them, I can be sure that they can stand on their own feet.
