Since we don't have much to discuss, I thought I would open a topic where we can share our personal experiences like
1) When was the first time you learnt cooking? How old were you?
2) Who was your first cooking teacher?
3) Do you like to cook? why? why not?
4) what is that one dish that you know to cook to perfection?
5) What is your favorite dish which makes your mouth water just thinking about it?
6) One vegetable that you simply hate?
7) Favorite Fruit shake?

Everyone is welcome to join irrespective of whether you cook or not. If you don't cook, a special question to you
8) What stops you from learning to cook?

I'll give my answers :)
1) When was the first time you learnt cooking? How old were you?
a) I learnt cooking just few months ago and I'm 20 only.

2) Who was your first cooking teacher?
a) My dad.

3) Do you like to cook? why? why not?
a) I like to cook only on weekends and only chicken dishes. Weekday cooking is too hectic.😆

4) what is that one dish that you know to cook to perfection?
a) Butter chicken

5) What is your favorite dish which makes your mouth water just thinking about it?
a) Gobi manchurian

6) One vegetable that you simply hate?
