Children can cook things that are just really easy or just be helpful in cooking. They can join their parents in like mixing stuff or just being exposed to early cooking, like cooking omelette. So the easy part of the cooking and as well as it is actually an important part of our lives since it’s so much easier for us when we know how to cook rather than when we just have to order every time. We would be able to save more if we know, so it’s important to teach kids how to cook, but I don’t think it should be something that is taught at school since I believe the school program is already pretty heavy, so it will be a bit too much pressure on kids, so maybe something that they could learn at home. Yeah, I do think that it’s a pretty enjoyable thing to be a professional chef, but it also is super stressy and I don’t think I could be a professional chef just because I cannot stand critique. I do get very emotional and I think the great chefs, they have really good stamina in that. They are able to take the critique and use it in a positive way and they do have, them and the celebrities, they do have a big influence on people that watch them and they want to make things like them, even though if it’s something simple, it’s just the way they would show the food if it looks good. It’s a trend.

Children can cook things that are really easy or just be helpful in cooking. They can join their parents in mixing ingredients or being exposed to early cooking, like making an omelet. The easy part of cooking is actually an important aspect of our lives since it's much easier for us when we know how to cook rather than having to order every time. We would be able to save more if we know how to cook, so it's important to teach kids how to cook. However, I don't think it should be something that is taught at school since I believe the school program is already pretty heavy, which would put too much pressure on kids. It might be better for them to learn at home. I do think that being a professional chef is a pretty enjoyable experience, but it is also very stressful, and I don't think I could be a professional chef because I cannot stand critique. I get very emotional, and I think great chefs have really good stamina in that regard. They are able to take critique and use it in a positive way. Celebrity chefs do have a big influence on people who watch them, and they inspire others to make dishes like theirs, even if it's something simple. It's just the way they present the food; if it looks good, it becomes a trend.
