/ck/ - Food & Cooking

my parents had me cook from age 11 and the rest is lost to childhood amnesia so I literally don't know what their cooking tastes like. they're dead now.

Oh great... hot dogs and hamburgers again. Can't wait for tomorrow when we have tuna casserole... again.

mommy and daddy regularly give me yummy leftovers so i never miss a thing
don't move away from your family for (((work))) and it won't be a problem

Not really no, my parents don't give a shit about what they eat.

I'm the only one in the family that actually learned to cook.

Yes my father died so I will never be able to cook with him again thanks for asking.

>Anyone else missing their parents’ cooking?
Yes, my mother died 6 months ago, I would keep finding minced beef (for cottage pie) and soups in the freezer that she made for a long time afterwards. I'm a better cook than she was but im always going to miss her specific way i can't quite replicate, her cakes especially were very good, she made a lot of them in the year before she passed and i didn't pay close enough attention on how to make them.

rip, I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen with my mother, and she also has a recipe book that she keeps (though it's in bad shape and I should probably digitize it).

Not really. My parents didn't even make Christmas dinner this year. We made plans for a nice duck, changed them to a "New Years Day Dinner", and got Panda Express instead. Then New Years Day Dinner got canceled. Oh well.

I miss my mom's cooking but I wont be seeing her again, she's died some years ago. Now I have to make due for myself. She did teach me a number of things and the first cookbook I got was from her, a Betty Crocker. People don't give those the credit they're due, these days people just look for useless celebrity bullshit.

Dont feel bad, that's pretty standard on holidays even with family around, some duck is just fine. I got that myself and some shumai.

Only thing I miss is my mom's oxtail stew and my dad's chalupas.

Nice trips, whenever I hear the word chalupa I remember some old news story where some idiot threw back his chalupas at some taco bell cashier. He got arrested for that shit.

my dad is an EXCELLENT cook and cooked dinner 6 nights a week from the up until the very day i moved out. he's refused to cook ever since he retired and it's such a shame. my mom cooks and i appreciate the effort she puts into it but she simply can't compete. i don't think i'll ever eat as good as i did as a kid

>>17240519
LOL no. My parents' cooking is awful. My father hordes food and is so old that he can no longer tell that it's spoiled and my mother cooks but not too well.

You should ask your dad for his recipies and watch him cook, write that stuff down before it's too late.

My dad was a great cook but thanks to the internet I am now better at the same recipes. I have shaken off all their midwestern-poverty tastes except for Kraft parmesan. I just can't stop loving it bros

since I had a functional upbringing, my parents taught me how to cook, my cooking is my parents' cooking, but tweaked and improved to better fit my taste
if I'm feeling homesick I just cook their original recipes
