Learning to Cook

I never liked cooking when I was younger. I thought it was boring and too difficult. My parents often cooked dinner, and I usually just made toast or ordered food when I was alone. But when I moved into my own apartment last year, everything changed.


At first, I ate a lot of frozen meals and fast food. It was easy, but not healthy. One day, I got sick and the doctor told me I needed to eat better. That weekend, I called my mom and asked her to teach me a few basic recipes. She was very happy to help.


I started with simple things like pasta and soup. They weren’t perfect, but I was proud of myself. Slowly, I began to enjoy the process. I liked choosing the ingredients, cutting vegetables, and trying new spices. Cooking became a relaxing activity after work.


Now I cook almost every day. I even invited my friends over last month and made a full dinner for them. They were surprised and said everything tasted great. Learning to cook not only helped my health, but it gave me more confidence too.
