Well, a year ago I turned 40 years old and then my grandparents gave me a present to my birthday. My grandmother gave me a book that named Cooking with me. I really liked this book because it’s very interesting and includes many different recipes for cooking. I’m just keen on cooking when I was a child. When I went to my grandma’s house, we were cooking some dishes, some cakes and trying to help my grandma to cooking. I’m interested in this hobby and then in my free time I cook at my home. Many recipes, many dishes. After that my grandmother knew that I’m interested in this hobby and then she gave me this book because I really like this. That’s how many, many more tips than I’m really interested. When I’m cooking I’m happy because I share my emotions to cooking and that’s why I like this book. It’s my best book in my bookshelf. That’s why I like this book.
