Personal Interest?

I have been interested in cooking since I was seven-years-old. My mom and grandma are the important people behind my passion for cooking. My mom allowed and encouraged me to cook and taught me basic cooking at that age. And through growing up with my grandma who is really good at cooking, I have learned her skills and recipes too. 

I remember when my mum worked six days a week, so in the morning she will send me to my grandma's place, and she will take care of me. My mum will pick me up in the evening and usually, after she picked me up, she will prepare for dinner.  There was a day when I was seven, I stood beside her; she taught me how to stir fry vegetables. On that night, my parents praised my cooking. That encouraged me and made me start to be interested in cooking.  

My grandma's part in nurturing my passion is different. After we had breakfast, I would go to fresh market with her. Since I am interested in cooking, I would go to the kitchen to watch her prepare lunch and ask if she needed help. Sometimes, she would ask me to go and watch television program and leave her alone because I am too annoying. HAHAHA. However, sometimes, I insisted to stay. I started to become her helper instead of annoying her through growing up, and we enjoyed our time together. I have been cooking with her and cook for myself when I need to and sometimes even cook for my family.

Now I am studying overseas, and I really miss the time and her food! I love foods, enjoying making them, eating them and sharing them with others. I will cook for my housemates or invite friends to my house for dinner. They all love my different dishes. I remember there was a time, I just use the ingredients that I have got in the fridge and created a dish, one my house mates loved it so much and even craved for that after. I am really encouraged by that and that has made me more interested in cooking. Sometimes,If I like a dish I’ve had on a night out, I will try to make it at home, my way! After listening to my friends’ suggestions for so long, I finally got the chance to create my own food blog!
