At my Mother's side, at home.
My Mum was a fantastic cook! She went through the Fowler Vacola Preserving fad & we literally had jars from floor to ceiling, BUT never went hungry!
I really have loved cooking all my life. Learnt at School, too, back in the day.
Once married, I attended EVERY Cooking Course I could because it became my passion! I learnt so much from those various Courses.
Then Microwave Ovens came into being. I did many Courses on that, also.
For first THREE months of having one, cooked only in it. That way, I found out what stayed as 'conventional' cooking, & what happily stayed as M/W cooking!
My son, from 10yo wanted to be a Chef. This was many years' b4 the current plethora of cooking shows on TV.
He went from Grade XII to TAFE, & is now a Sous Chef, with Patisserie Certif., & B.Hosp.Mgt. Am just SO proud of him!
