You know, if my mum had ever gone fully on board with that I swear she'd have done the same. Before I went off to Uni she was always on about how I had to learn how to cook all of our Indian cuisine or I was never going to make a proper wife.
You know what I did? Most of the time I burned it all on purpose. Or messed it up somehow. To this day I've no idea if I'm actually bad at cooking or if I've just trained myself too well.
