Cooking for Independence

Cooking for Independence erry is always amazed at how his mom cooks. It's like magic. One day, Terry's mother said to him, " Terry, why don't you learn to cook?' “ Can l?” asked Terry. “ Of course, ” said his mom. " Cooking is a skill that you can use forever. ” “ Will you teach me then?" Terry asked. " Sure! ” his mom agreed. That weekend, Terry's mom explained all the cooking basics as they prepared a meal together. She told him that cooking was not complicated at all. " You just need to measure and mix the right things, " she told him.

“ In a way, cooking is like a science experiment. If you do everything correctly, the results will be as planned. " She also taught him about safety in the kitchen—especially around sharp knives and a hot stove. Under his mom's helpful eyes, Terry cooked his first simple meal: a vegetable and rice soup. It tasted very good.
