Before my marriage I was really terrible at cooking but after getting married I faced lots of challenges in the kitchen while cooking food for my husband’s family. Today I would like to tell a person that supported, helped me and inspired me at cooking and this person is my father-in-law. He is really supportive and really good at cooking different national food and the most food I learned from him. I remember the time when I had a baby so at that time he could cook instead of me and tell everyone that it was me who prepared that food. He is really good at preparing national food like polog, mantu, tuspera and these dishes they need special skills. My father-in-law used to be a baker and we have got special places for baking our national bread and it’s called noahona. He used to work there and he is really good at making dough, rolling and giving shapes and preparing and baking bread and fatir and so on. I think that he is really good at cooking because he puts his love and he enjoys the process of cooking and he is fond of feeding everyone in the family with wholesome food. I think that when a person is into the activity he or she does and the outcomes are really good.

Before my marriage, I was really terrible at cooking, but after getting married, I faced lots of challenges in the kitchen while cooking for my husband's family. Today, I would like to talk about a person who supported, helped, and inspired me in cooking, and this person is my father-in-law. He is really supportive and very good at cooking different national dishes, and I learned the most from him. I remember the time when I had a baby; during that time, he could cook instead of me and told everyone that it was me who prepared the food. He is really good at preparing national dishes like plov, mantu, and tursu, and these dishes require special skills. My father-in-law used to be a baker, and we have special places for baking our national bread called noahona. He used to work there, and he is really good at making dough, rolling it, giving it shapes, and preparing and baking bread and fatir, and so on. I think he is really good at cooking because he puts his love into it, enjoys the process, and is fond of feeding everyone in the family with wholesome food. I believe that when a person is passionate about the activity they do, the outcomes are really good.
