My parents both are to busy with their jobs to cook so they "hired" me to cook for them....I've never been taught how to cook and most of the stuff I do is just a result of experimentation, I reckon I can actually cook better than my mum now....
Also, i can make fried rice that my grandpa taught me how to do; but its really the only "from scratch" thing i can do. Spagetti and other stuff i dont really consider all that difficult, im also a burger god on the stove, or BBQ.
