/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Why did /ck/ start cooking?

I'll start
>Born into a house of cheapskates (I'm a TurkRoach so it's in my genes) so I never went out
>Parents both cooked
>Mom was shit-tier cook and she would always make unseasoned bland-ass chicken with shitty salad and unseasoned rice or would force us to eat her flavour of the week diet.
>Dad was god-tier chef
>He would cook everything and anything to perfection
>Dad only cooked on weekends. Mom cooked on weekdays
>But mom and dad would be working all the time so I was alone alot of times and end up eating pre-cooked meals mom made
>tfw latchkey kid
>Be in grade 2
>Watch episode of Julia Child on PBS (didn't get Cable until I was 12)
>Decide that enough was enough, no more shitty ass chicken
>Read cookbooks for hours
>First make eggs
>heythatsprettygood.avi
>Make grilled cheese
>Damn
>As years go by keep adding food to my repertoire
>Fast forward to Grade 10
>Cooking is my new favourite hobby
>Cook everyday
>Parents no longer cook
>Parents always congratulate me for my cooking
>No more shit-tier food

I just finish cooking Mushroom Risotto and Confit for dinner party.
