Default Who taught you to cook?

The cooking gene definitely skipped a generation in my family. I do
remember my mom and aunt showing me a few things, but I think my love of
cooking comes from my grandmother. She didn't specifically show me how
to cook, but I know I observed her quite a bit. I've noticed that my
cousins are also much more culinarily (I'm pretty sure that's a made up
word) gifted than their parents.

I was interested and wanted to learn. I did learn a lot from the chiefs
on PBS. My efforts were encouraged and appreciated which then spurred
me on to more. So I guess I fall more into the learning on my own side.
