It's good fun to play with and you can get some superb results I love to
experiment so it gives me more options.

My daughter is working on her cooking skills. The other day she was making pesto and working with matcha powder. She made green cookies and green tea mochi. She must be into green.

I have sampled some of her creations. I'm a home cook, she's interested in cooking a step higher than what I do. My food is hearty and simple. Her stuff is more elegant and refined - at least it has the potential to be. I envision her to be making wonderful pastries, not stews or beans.

I think you are wrong to describe her cooking as being a 'step higher'. It
sounds though she is just trying different things. She is interested in
cooking and I expect she has been watching you all her life and knows very
well how to make the things you make. What do you think?

He'll find out when she's on her own. I didn't think my kids paid
much attention but they did and they reproduced what they liked. DD
does identical reproductions (she was the one who showed the least
interest in cooking) and son puts his own little twist on things.

My son's wife... the one who came to us not knowing how to cook, has
blossomed into a wonderful cook herself. In fact, she confided to me
last weekend that she has always thought about being a baker. She
used to be a hairdresser, and now she's an accountant - so why not be
a baker if that's what interests her? She gets to work at 5 AM anyway
(voluntarily), so the hours won't be an issue.

She cooks like a girl and I cook like a guy. I'm not so interested in decorated cupcakes and cookies and she's not interested in making a pot of chili.. I never got the feeling that she ever paid much attention to my cooking but who knows? Her boyfriend is a professional chef so a guy that cooks could be on her wish list.

I think she is just trying to impress the guy, and as soon as she has her
hooks into him she will stop cooking. And probably get fat.
