Who taught you to cook?

[Mila]

Home economics was useless.
I had my training in a restaurant kitchen ( the staff was on strike or something ) Needless to say i can make great junk food but the healthy home cooked stuff i'm clueless with.

Learnt to make 'western cuisine' from my mom and read about a million cookbooks in order to teach myself the art of Indian cuisine.

Also did a brief cooking course in Kerala, India

Chef school in the army. I was an officers chef. That and I did restaurant management as well. I ran a restaurant for 3.5 years.

I taught myself, at that time mom was sick so i had no choice and dad was working so if i wanted to eat something in the day i had to make it myself. Although the first thing i ever baked was a chocolate cake.

When i tried something new he would ask if he could go to Mcdonalds and get plan B...

I suck so hard my ex told me the other day he still can not cook pasta

So stop sucking while he's cooking pasta. He might have something to say about that though. Strange fetish btw...

I cook and bake well, read the Kook & Geniet, watched me ma too, well I had to do the dishes and clean the kitchen,
I learned Thai cuisine in Thailand from watching (lived there 2 years), I learned Indian cuisine from recipe books and tasting Indian food at restaurants lol

My mother's motto was : SOS (Serve yourself Or Starve). She was a nurse who worked 12 hour days and my old man did the same. From the time I was seven or eight I've been cooking.

Lately I've been watching BBC Food/Lifestyle to learn more complex dishes.

Mrs Lithgoe my Home Economics teacher. She only gave me a B+ though. Rumour had it, she had never given an A.

 

[Mila]

Do not worry mine too...

One of our home economics projects was to re-design a room in the house according to your mom's plans. My project was the kitchen. My mother said we have to close up all the entrances so that she never had to go into it again.

And yes i did go to school with that answer and i had to sit outside for the rest of the class.

Do you have a favourite dish you enjoy making?

I recently decided to once and for all conquer the whole roast chicken,
to cook it to succulent perfection, to never again have it overcooked or dry.

It worked, I now understand, after you dryrub it with your spices and herbs,
and putting a bit of liquid in the roasting tray,
you cover that tasty little free range chicken with a tinfoil tent !

Then you roast it.
