I think I do cook better, and I think she's on to it, maybe a little jealous at times!. If she likes something I make, she'll say, "This came out really good, you're turning out to be a good cook, just like me!." We cook different foods though, she does more American style foods and I lean towards Mexican!. The ones I'm trying to live up to are the grandparents!. They can whoop me any day in the kitchen!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think I cook better, but I certainly cook differently!. Food in my country has changed enormously since I was a child!. Then, we ate stodgy English type food like the English still eat (poor things)!. Now, it's all Asian fusion cooking with heaps of fresh ingredients and short cooking times and we hardly ever eat anything like the old stuff!. My mother hasn't been able to adapt to the new dishes!. Must admit though, she still cooks roast lamb to die for!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mhmmm!

My dad over salts things, and my mother has a tendency to like things toasty (i!.e!. burned)

I can definitly season better, a cook things appropriatly!. I also like experimenting with new foods, foreign foods, and different forms of preperation!. I think I'm just a product of my age, and they are a product of theirs!.

My dad's food repertoire has always been very limited!. And mom is a lousy cook and baker!. But all of their kids are excellent cooks (and some can bake well too)!. We have taken over the cooking for family holidays and we've had nicely varied meals--we pick an ethnic taste for each feast and I am impressed with how we all can cook such excellent food!. We've all surpassed our parents!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am defiantly a better cook then my parents!.!. Yes there are a couple things that they make that are really good!.!. But I've taken those same recipes and have added my own style and flavor and make them even better!.!.
I think that I make the best egg rolls and also Chicken Marsala!.!. Just to name a couple!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My dad never did much cooking, but my mom is the best!. I do make better potato salad, but I will never touch her chicken noodle soup!. She has patience for making her own bread, which I lack!. Our basics are very similar, she was my mentor in the kitchen, but our tastes vary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, though i did learn alot from them, my methods changed depending on how i saw theirs not working out!. Now i have all my friends, family, and my boyfriends friends and family asking me to cook for them!.:DWww@FoodAQ@Com
