I wanted to learn cooking, as it is one of the most important skills of survival. By learning cooking I’ll become more independent. Right now living with my parents in India, all the chores related to cooking are performed by my mother and grandmother. As I am planning to go abroad for my further studies, I will have to learn cooking in order to take care of myself.

I decided to learn cooking with the help of my mother because she’ll be able to make me learn quite patiently and also I will be learning to make food according to my taste preferences. The learning outcomes that are going to be covered in this experience are LO 2 and LO 3.

Learning outcome 2:-

This experience was a complete challenge for me, I had to learn everything from the basics. Initially, I even struggled to remember the name of the spices and identify the vegetables. Another challenge that I faced was adding an adequate amount of water and spices into a particular serving. Also, I struggled with chopping vegetables as it took me a lot more time compared to my mother. The main challenge was that I lacked experience in this field.

Learning outcome 3:-

The experience required me to gather knowledge about different plates and recipes before starting the production of the dish. It required me to learn about numerous different things like specific items in the kitchen and remembering their name and their usage. I also had to learn about the safety precautions of the kitchen while operating with sharp objects and the gas stove. Also, I had to learn how to operate microwaves and different mixers.
