re: Teaching teenagers how to cook

I also learned in a restaurant. First as a waiter then in the kitchen. Learned to bake from a cute girl my age who later went on to have a culinary career.

Learned the most in an Italian restaurant. From making dough to sauces from scratch to how to grill. Hopefully the OP’s son can learn from his parents and not by the hour (tough way to make a living).

I’d give a lot to be able to go back and learn from my granny. She was incredible. My mom and mawmaw have/had their certain dishes but aren’t/weren’t great cooks if I’m being honest.
