I'm really glad we did and am sorry that it is no longer required in public high schools.
Still, when baking just follow the recipe and it should work out.
When cooking other things, it's fun to be more creative.
All will be fine, as it's more about the time together!
Hope your day is great!
My kids thought cooking was a city in China. I have one interested in learning to cook.
Cooking is creative and it is hard to explain...showing how to cook is much easier. So much involves how it looks and tastes, and what needs to be added. I gave my unofficial adopted daughter my recipe for dressing.....she came over with her ingredients and I helped her make it. She said she was glad she came because I added 4-5 more ingredients and adjusted all the amounts. My youngest daughter gets upset when I tell her to add some of this and that and a hunk of this. She wants an exact amount. I can only hope she will figure out how much a hunk is.
