My old man had me cooking jambalaya at 16. He would even let me drink a Miller pony while cooking if I didn't tell mom. 
Needless to say later on that night me and my friends all would go party all night on Bud.

early 20s when I graduated college, moved away from Baton Rouge and realized there was more to life than fast food and Hamburger Helper.

i honestly wanted nothing to do with cooking in my youth. My mom was an excellent cook but, i had no interest in learning.Then got married, the wife handled the cooking. Then one day tried my hand at a simple gumbo recipe and liked the results so, i started cooking more. Now, I do ALL of the cooking.

5 or 6 helping my grandmother before my mom got off work to come pick me up and take me home.
Didn't start teaching myself how to cook until moving out of the dorms in college though. Bought a cookbook and it has been a lot of trial and error ever since.

My parents were always on call at the hospital, or working late.
I was raised by a lady from Guatemala, and a lady from Honduras. They cooked well. I learned alot.
When we didn't need sitters anymore, I started cooking for myself.

Started cutting pizzas for the local joint at 12. Been in the industry in some capacity for over the next 30+ years.

I only just started really.
Trying to turn my Saturday's into my cooking days now. Trying to find some good slow cooking meals that I can also use for leftovers.
I've always cooked very basic stuff. My mom's spaghetti,which I've changed completely, and other small stuff. I like my spaghetti, started working on my chili and did my first real red beans and rice a week or two ago. Looking for new directions now, though.
I think I started cooking more complete breakfasts, and that's what got me interested.
Really looking forward to cooking all day on Saturdays and drinking beer. So if beer is in the recipe I'm interested.
