[quote=Anonymous]My mom taught me how to cook and my dad taught me how to grille.  My dad and I have the same preference for how things are grilled so that worked out well.

My mom was very...stereotypically 80s/90s white suburbia SAHM cooking.  Blandish, casseroles, then a switch to "heart healthy".  It wasn't bad per se, but definitely not the type of food I eat now.  I think I have 3 recipes from my childhood that I will cook now.  My grandmother's mac and cheese, a scallop recipe from my mom, and a salmon recipe from her.

My mom taught me the basics of cooking, but I developed my own love for it in high school and enjoyed experimenting with flavors.  I rarely use a recipe.  I get inspiration from one but will tweak things.  My mom always comments about how she has to folllow a recipe down to the tsp.

Dh's mom cooked a similar way to mine and DH developed a real love for various types of hot sauces.  He too has developed his own love for cooking and cooks quite a lot.  [/quote]
