I didn't learn to cook much at home, my mom didn't want me to mess around in the kitchen. She was a fairly good cook, but only made country type meals, nothing too fancy, but she did that very well!

When I moved in with my first boyfriend, I was lucky that he liked to cook and I learned quite a few tips from him. As time went by, I started experimenting more with all the new things you could get, and I'm still learning.

These days, there are so many TV shows with excellent chefs you can learn from too.

The ex owner of a Bar John and I went to (Charlie's), was collecting cookbooks, he had boxes full of them in the cellar. When he died, the new owner wanted to get rid of most of them, so I got to pick the ones I wanted. They're all quite old and in english - with "funny" measurements, but I can still use a lot of the recipees from them.

I did learn a bit of cooking in school, but I don't remember any of that, apart from turning pancakes in the air.
