Re: Do we
I couldn't say if I was a good cook or not. My husband likes my food as does my family. No-one has complained about anything yet and I haven't made anyone ill yet (they are too polite to say I suppose! :lol). That's all that matters to me.I used to love helping my Mum in the kitchen from about 7 years. I did cooking at school and received an 'A' in my GCE Domestic Science exam.
I taught my daughter and granddaughter how to cook from the age of 6 and my granddaughter surprised her Mum one day when I was looking after her, by taking home a big tin of cakes that she had made all by herself - obviously she wasn't allowed to use the oven at that age.

Do you know I actually started cooking at age 11, I forgot about being taught domestic science at school...until Art mentioned it....
I tell you another thing, if I went by their oven temps, with some of these recipes,my baking would be burnt...that’s another thing you learn by trial and error...

I used to make my own bread when I had a family I'm self taught .For 3 years of my life I cooked professionally when I ran a food pub I never served up a meal that I wouldnt eat myself .
I'm a feeder and love it
I must have known I was a good cook, otherwise I wouldn’t have applied for a cooks post ,at a very expensive residential home,..nothing wrong in being confident at what you’re good at Susan, if I hadn’t sold myself, no one else would have, ..I got the job...
Cooks are quite competitive don’t you think?
I know I was.
