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.
