How many of you teens can cook, really cook, follow recipes, plan a weeks meals and shop for them?

We used to have a stupid class called Home Ec. I never hear of it anymore. Do your mothers teach you to cook other than using the microwave and the toaster oven? How many of you like cooking?How many of you teens can cook, really cook, follow recipes, plan a weeks meals and shop for them?
My grandmother started teaching me how to cook when i was 5 or 6. First it was just helping her in the kitchen; getting bowls and utensils and some ingredients. And then as i grew up she get me more involved with the actual cooking. By the time i was 9 or 10, i could cook some pretty in depth recipes and was making dishes for family holidays. When i lived at home i cooked for my mom and sister and friends and that involved all of the planning. I think it's how i became so organized because there's not much room to fake it when it comes to some recipes. I'm 17 now and unfortunately my grandmother just passed a few months ago, but i've taken over for her and have started teaching my littler cousins how to cook.How many of you teens can cook, really cook, follow recipes, plan a weeks meals and shop for them?
My dads a chef and my moms a waitress, so I've grown up in restaurants. I started helping my mom with dinner as soon as I could and started making dinner for myself and my little brother when I was 10 (just boxed noodles and hotdogs and stuff.) I've never been a great cook, but I started to try new things when I was about 17 because I got sick of the food my mom was making (she makes the same 3 or 4 meals every week.) Now I cook dinner for my family about once a month, and dinner for my boyfriend once a week. If I lived on my own, I'm sure I'd manage to survive on my cooking. And my school did have home ec, but the only things I learned how to make were spagetti and tacos. Oh, and I have a bunch of old cookbooks too! They're the best! They don't require as much high tech stuff as the cookbooks do today.
well im 21, mother of 3. and when i was pregnant with my son (i was 17) all my friends were partying and drinking and doing stuff that i obviously was not about to do pregnant, so i stayed home my whole pregnancy watching the food network, and now 4 years later, im a damn good cook. lol. i have the old betty crocker cookbook, its like from the 60's. and it has EVERYTHING in it.





and plus nowadays alot of ppl dont cook like they used to, you never see ppl eating nice home cooked meals anymore, i love cooking for my kids knowing that their not getting mcdonalds nutrients.lol





and i took home ec in middle school. we made pudding and coffee cake and i sewed a pillow together. lol waste of a class if u ask me, my grandmother taught me all that when i was younger lol





i live in a house with like 10 ppl, so lately ive been making a dinner calendar type of thing. like a lunch menu for school. then i make my grocery list, i buy in bulk so its cheaper and when i get my produce for example green peppers. i cut them up and put them in ziplock bags and freeze em so i have em all month
I am 21 now, got married at age 18, i learned on my own, in my school they didn't have that class and my mom never wanted to teach me (yeah....i know) so i learned on my own. I got really good at it, i can buy a whole month of grocery's and plan for the meals and they come out good. Its a matter of practice
ill be 17 in a month and i always do the cooking at home. chicken parm, shrimp scampi. what ever my parents ask for all i need is a recipe and i can do it. im one of the oldest of 8 so i know how to do a lot of things around the house.
yes i can cook fairly well. home ec is so stupid. there were 4 people making half of a box of pasta, and barely anyone knew what to do. i like cooking a lot. (especiallyy breakfast)
I love cooking and I am very wel with it I cook 3 times a week for 5-8 people [matters if my neighbors are over]
ive known how to cook for a long time


and i buy my own groceries cause im vegan and my family isnt.





i love cooking
i LOVE cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
