It's nice to meet you, Nill! thanks for your introduction.
With a solid family history of cooking, can you share how you came to the profession? Can you recall the first dish or meal you prepared? For me that was a proud moment. I also cherish memories of cooking at the side of my grandmother and mother.
Besides our discussion forums, we have cooking articles, cookbook reviews, recipes, blogs and the photo gallery. I hope you explore all of them and participate in the discussion forums as well.
Welcome!

My mother couldnt afford a babysitter, so I'd hang out with her when she went to work. Usually id just sit in the staff room drawing pictures n such, but i have a vivid memory of peeling prawns when i was about 9 y/o. By the time I was 12 she put me to work dishwashing.
The first meat dish I ever prepared was a baked ham, that I made at home (all by my self) when I was 7.

Your AA reference reminded me of a time last year when i was putting no.2 son on the company van insurance. - He's a chef too. Anyway, in the UK, chefs are considered high risk for vehicle insurance as they have a tendency to alcoholism!!!!!... Actually many of the chefs i've worked with over the years do order a lot more booze than they put in the food.
Did ur mum make you whistle when u were peeling prawns? We always had to when shelling peas when we were kids, just so mum knew we wernt eating them
Speak soon
