I love cooking, but because my mom is too much of a bimbo and my dad too much of a “manly man” to ever step into the kitchen, I never had the chance to learn from them. I grew up on delivery, takeout, eating out, and the incredible food made by the amazing woman who cooks for our family. I became deeply interested in cooking at the start of my teenage years and taught myself through the internet, books, that same woman, and other relatives.
Other than the basic cooking lessons we had in school I did a lot of trial and error when I moved from home.
Mum and dad did cook and I sometimes helped in the kitchen but that only gives you confidence to try, you don’t actually learn until you fuck up and bite into medium rare chicken.
