It all began four years ago, when my brother graduated from culinary arts. From that day I started to get interested about food and how was it made. In some way I can say that he encouraged me to cook. Ever since four years ago, I cook three times a week and he does the rest. Cooking is a very interesting hobby. To begin with, cooking is a great idea when you want to chill in your own home and have an excellent time at the same time. If you want to be at your house just chilling and having a good time, then cooking is what you might want to do, not only because you do not need to go out, but also because you can relax and enjoy the time that you want to spent just being you, or maybe with some friends.

Now, with all the knowledge that my brother and books have taught me, I can go to the supermarket and differentiate between thyme and parsley. However, this requires time and effort because it is not an easy thing to learn. I remember one time when I was trying to do some cupcakes, and I used for the very first time the kitchen aid. I was doing the mix, and I put it all in the kitchen aid and leave it there. Minutes later I turned it off and put the mix on the bowl ready to bake, but the cupcakes never went up because I put the mix too long in the machine. That is when I realized that I had to learn much more about how to use the things in the kitchen. Another thing that you learn when you pass a long time cooking is how to cut vegetables tinier and faster than usual, just like a chef. For example, it takes more than five minutes to cut an onion really thin, but now that my brother showed me how to grab the knife so I can cut the onions faster, it takes me less than two minutes to cut an
