Cooking – it’s creative and
useful
Really I didn’t know to cook anything. I
started to do when I married, I was about 20. I was alone; I thought that I
never would learn to cook. It was very difficult for me. I wanted to try it for
myself. So I caught a cookbook and I chose an easy food to make it. A cookbook
was my teacher.
I found I really liked it and was soon doing
things which were more complicated. Sometimes I cooked quite well but sometimes
the food is not good enough. My husband never complained, he always ate the
food happily.
One day I decided to do reposteria lessons
but I couldn’t do it. So it was no problem for me because I had my cookbook. I
think I’m quite a competent cook. In important dates or when my family and my
friends come round to my house I often cook them something for example I make
for a main course stuffed chicken and for dessert tiramisu. I find it really satisfying
and relaxing. I’m very happy to see people enjoying a meal I’ve made.
I’d recommend it as a hobby because for me
it’s one of the most creative and useful free-time activities I can imagine.
