A
I have never taken cooking classes in my life. I learned cooking from my mother because
she was really interested in teaching me how to cook.
The main reason for this was that
when
my mother got married
?/p>
she
didn't know
how
to cook
anything
?/p>
not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she
was
cooking.
My
mother
did
not
start
to
cook
until
she
was
25
years
old.
After
she
got
married
?/p>
she had to cook for herself and my father. One morning
?/p>
she cooked two eggs for my father
?/p>
but she didn't make them cooked. My father had to go to work with an empty stomach. My mother
felt
very
sorry
for
my
father
and
she
decided
to
learn
to
cook
from
then
on.
In
the
beginning
?/p>
it was very hard for her. Therefore
?/p>
she had to take cooking classes to prepare the meals.
After
having
that
experience
?/p>
she
decided
to
teach
me
how
to
cook
because
she
didn't
want
me
to
have
the
same
experience.
I
remember
when
I
was
seven
years
old
?/p>
and
my
mother
was
cooking
?/p>
I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her.
Nowadays
?/p>
I don't need help to cook a meal. I can cook for myself alone or for a group
of people
?/p>
it doesn't matter. All has been done because of my mother. I will do the same with
my children when they are young because I don't want them to have the same experience as my
mother. If one day I am not with them
?/p>
I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives
without me.
