I like to cook.

How long I have been cooking?

I have been cooking for more thirty year.
I began cooking when I was seventeen years old. Part of the summer I was alone in my house while I
was working.
In the beginning, when I didn't know how to cook, I learned by calling my mother on the phone. in
this way she taught me to cook.
Currently, most of the time, I'm the one who cooks at home.

Why do I prefer to cook rather than buy readymade food?

I prefer to cook rather than buy readymade food because it is healthier (more healthy) and I can save
some money.
When i made homemade food I use natural ingredients as olive oil, vegetables, fresh meat and fish
and I don´t use artificial ingredients as other types of fats, sugars or preservatives.
By the other side, it is also better to make food at home because it is more varied and its flavour is
better for us.

Advice
If you want to learn to cook, the first thing to do is practice.
When my wife and I got married, she didn't know how to cook. In the distribution of household task, I
preferred to cook, for me it is easier than other tasks, since this moment I cook every day that we eat
at home. I practice it every day and I believe (than) I don´t do it wrong.
Another very important thing is to cook with love and patience (without rush (prisa)). If you cook with
rush, most likely (muy probablemente), is that the meal will not be good, it could burn or remain raw (o
quedar cruda)

My plans for the future

In the near future, I plan to improve my knowledge about cooking, I will could to take a couple of
cooking courses, one on traditional cooking and the other on foreign cuisine, for example.
