Iโve personally asked some family members on WordPress, questions like โDo you love cooking?โ โCan you cook?โ โWhat food can you cook best?โ
And Majority, letโs say 90%, reply in the positive.
So now, I think itโs high time I told you about the journey to my first cooking experience. ๐
Itโs all began…..
Well, like most males, I had an high interest in eating, but not preparing.
Like some guys, I was that kind of person that was always waiting to hear mom shout โcome take your food!!๐ฃโ and thatโs when we ran with the speed of light โจ๐๐
But afterwards, as I grew older, I got hungry faster ๐๐ (I donโt know if it applies to you). And it finally got to the point where I couldnโt wait for mom to shout โcome take your foodโ๐
Then the little Ego present in guys, came to me, and I said โI can also do this thingโ
I donโt know if it was courage or Ego๐, but whatever it was, it led me to my first cooking experience.
My cooking experience ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Then at that moment, I felt like a superhero ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ I felt like Jean in Xmen, I felt that if superheroes could control stuffs with their minds, I could also control cooking with my mind.๐
Okay, I know you are also predicting how this is going to end, but hang on little ๐๐
Then I went to the kitchen and it was like I wasnโt familiar with it. I was only familiar with the kitchen when I wanted to take my food, not when I wanted to cook my food๐๐
Fast forward…..
I finally cooked๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ but I used my head to cook. I didnโt look for recipes, I just used pure instinct ๐
You should really try cooking with your instincts and not with guide ๐๐๐
Putting salt ๐ง, pepper ๐ถ, etc… was purely based on my mind and itโs only when my mind said โstopโ that I knew the measurement was okay ๐คฃ
Parents Review ๐๐๐๐๐๐
My parents came back from their outing, and when they saw what I did. They were very happy. ๐ at least, I had taken up interest in kitchen activities ๐
Then they asked me if my friends were coming over. I said โNOโ. But they asked me again.
It was then I realized I had cooked for 20 ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃand we are just 5 in our family. I cooked a local food called โEbaโ
So I guess my instinct didnโt put me well on the quantity measurement after-all ๐
๐ so donโt cook with your instinct, continue with your recipe guide ๐ , except you are an expert ๐
So thatโs my first cooking experience ๐.
It was hunger that prompted me to cooking. And from there, I took up interest in cooking some simple foods, not the complex ones ๐
So whatโs your first experience of cooking?
You can just briefly tell us, or tell us the details๐๐ hereโs a good time to have a good laugh ๐๐คฃ๐คฃ
Haha… That’s a very courageous act my friend.. Continue with your art!

The first time I was properly in the kitchen to make food was when I made bread rolls at school. I strolled out of school, feeling very pleased of myself, and offered some to my parents. They were disgusting and undercooked. They ended up unceremoniously thrown in the bin. My cooking experiences from then on have improved!๐

I dabbled in cooking from a young age…
I think the funniest was the first time I made a roast chicken though. I actually still don’t really like handling raw meat… but those days I was truly awful at it.
There I was, at the sink, trying to rinse the chicken off – not looking at what I was doing, pulling the most interesting faces, inwardly freaking out. Not realising it would get worse… I needed to remove the plastic bag of giblets inside.
One would swear I was a surgeon by this stage. There was no way I was touching that bag! I used mini tongs… and ‘ewwwww’ ‘ewwwww’ ‘ewwww’d my way to the dustbin thereafter.
In the end, the chicken tasted great though ๐

Hey… Loved your experience. Funny!!!
I am not a chef, but I do cook good food. That’s because, when I was small, I was never given the chance to even go near the stove. I grew curious and I had to experiment with the leaves and flowers when I was so small. And then, when my parents were away,I cooked with the help of my grandmother on a video call. I still remember her scolding me when I accidentally poured water to boiling oil…๐ . It was an accident, I swear!
And then, the whole food, fortunately, turned out to be good. Mum and papa loved it!!!
Thanks to God and obviously, my grandmother!!

I think the first time I ever cooked was making my dad a PB&J sandwich because my mom was away and my dad was running late from work and going to play tennis and didn’t have time to cook anything.
