[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was a SAHM but she never cooked. So no.

My dad retired when I was 14 and he cooked, and we discussed what he cooked but he never taught me to cook.

I was super interested in cooking so I watched cooking shows and would try to make the meals. This is where I really learned, in my 20's it didn't have to be that good and people thought it was amazing.

My H's mom was a SAHM but when the kids went off to college, she became a chef and she never taught my H how to cook... but she loved to criticize my cooking and, in her criticism, I would get information, and I paid close attention. I learned a lot watching her and listening to her. She would even go so far as to give you false information like she used tarragon when it was oregano. She's Italian. Everybody in her family are very good cooks/own restaurants/etc.

My son's girlfriend never learned to cook from her mom and she and I cook together. She is vegan-ish, meaning she is vegan but eats seafood so I've taught her how to make tofu gyros, mussels in wine sauce, real artichoke, shrimp tacos, etc.

Such an interesting generational cooking history! I am glad you shared, and it sounds like you come from a family that likes to cook. But that is too funny that your MIL would supply fake cooking ingredients![/quote]
