[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised in India, 50 yrs ago. The first thing I learned to cook was how to use the electric toaster to make toasts. Next I was taught how to light a matchstick safely and turn on the gas stove top which looked like the stove below. [img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71uDEWicXWL._SL1500_.jpg[/img] On the gas stove top, I learned to boil milk, boil eggs, boil potatoes and make tea. Next I learned how to make cake from scratch. We used to bake it in a table top plug in cake oven like below.

Though I do remember making chicken curry once when my dad forced me to cook when I was 8. :shock: I was so mad at him. Mom had gone for a day somewhere. Such a clueless man. Of course I had no clue and whatever I made was inedible. My elder brothers used to cook quite well and thanks to them I could cruise by for a long time. [/quote] This is a great backstory! It's fantastic that your brothers could cook well too. Well done mom! So what happened with the curry? Did you use spices your mom had already prepped? Did your dad try to eat it? [/quote]
