Once I was unemployed and didn't have money, you can't just go to dinner. The onus is on you to learn to cook... I learned how important the right equipment is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.
I'm not very bright about money. I'm not domestic either. If I don't learn how to cook, maybe I won't have to.
When you don't have much money, cooking can be incredibly reassuring. You feel like you're doing meaningful work.
I can't cook, but I have a nice book of menus... and I can plate and set the table.
My parents both worked full time. I remember a lot of simple meals. Everything I know about cooking is self-schooled.
I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.
Most cooks try to learn by making dishes. Doesn't mean you can cook. It means you can make that dish. When you can cook is when you can go to a farmers market, buy a bunch of stuff, then go home and make something without looking at a recipe. Now you're cooking.
I don't know how to cook and there's so much work involved you have to buy the groceries and prepare them. I like it when people cook for me, or I'll just order some take-out.
I ended up wanting to be a cook and hold my own in a restaurant.
You know, from age 17 on, my paycheck was coming from cooking and working in kitchens.
