Question by Gabriel:

How do you see learning cooking, for a 17 year old?

The fact is that I am finishing 12th grade, well actually I just finished and aside from my driver's license and working out in the gym, I thought about cooking. Do you think It would be cool for a person my age to learn cooking. I live in a country where men are like bossy and big but not really cooks. What's your comment?

It's terrific that you have an interest in cooking. In some places age 17 is considered a legal adult and as such able to live on their own. If you will be going to secondary school and will be away from home it is a good idea to start learning how to do the basic skills in the kitchen. I was much older than you when I developed an interest in cooking. I wish I had started earlier. However, I have begun teaching my own children how to do basic things. I have a 12 year old that has already begun preparing simple meals using a microwave.A 15 yr old who can use the stove. The 18 year old even bakes . All 3 are boys and my husband has recently showed interest in preparing meals in the kitchen and not just upon the grill. Mom may not always be around so they need to know how to take care of themselves and to be a partner to any woman that may enter their lives and not their boss. In the end it will make all of them happier.
You will never regret learning how to do things for yourself and think of all the lovely extra cash you will have on hand to splurge on fun things because you won't be spending it all on fast foods and restaurants every day of the week.
