In this learning period we must have to learn at least one basic life-saving skill to survive. And here I would like to shed some light upon one skill which I learnt once and I think I can teach other and it is known other than Kukul which I learnt during COVID-19 pandemic when I was in 8th standard. Since we always stuck at home I had more leisure time and I wanted to learn something creative and useful. At first I just helped my parents in the kitchen like cutting vegetables and watching them preparing meals. But soon I started trying recipes on my own. I followed YouTube videos sometimes food vlogs. I started with the basic dishes like pasta, fried rice and omelettes. Later I tried baking cakes and traditional meals. I made a lot of mistakes but that’s how I learnt. Now I feel confident enough to prepare a proper meal and I think I can teach others also how to cook too. Especially beginners I do start with the basics like how to prepare ingredients, use common spices and follow the simple recipes. I also show them how to stay safe in the kitchen like handling knives and using stoves carefully. Cooking is not just a skill but I think it is also relaxing and enjoyable activity. I think I can teach others also how to cook.

At first, I just helped my parents in the kitchen by cutting vegetables and watching them prepare meals. But soon, I started trying recipes on my own.
