personally I wasn’t taught how to cook as a child, even as an adult. My mum will always say she has no food to waste,can you imagine that! So how does she want me to learn. When I got admission into university I started my trial and error and once in a while when I visit my aunts I am always very uncomfortable when they want me to prepare meal, all because my mum did not want to waste her food and so did not teach me how to cook.

Before I left school , I have taught myself how to cook and my confidence in cooking has grown,how I wish there was youtube those days,it would have been easy for me to learn,when I look back at those days now I laugh.  I try to avoid same happening to my children by teaching them early enough to prepare simple meals such as frying egg, preparing indomie and preparing stew and they will still learn more, isn’t that amazing!

Anytime you are cooking make sure your child is with you in the kitchen looking at what you are doing, after a while give the child the opportunity to prepare a meal for the family. Especially your girl child must start learning from early age, it is not good for your adult daughter not to be able to cook.
