Nobody has ever taught me how to cook the good way. I learned cooking from different aspects of my life. For instance, when I was a kid, when my mother was cooking, I stood nearby and watched how she cooked and then kept it in mind.

As I grew up, I learned some cooking skills from books, TV shows, documentaries and so on.

As technology has advanced, a variety of apps have provided us with cooking methods over recent years. To be honest, it is really convenient and easy to learn. What’s more, it indeed helps us save lots of time .

Upgraded:

Nobody has ever taught me how to cook with precision or in a methodical way. I absorbed cooking knowledge from experience. For instance, when I was a kid watching my mother cook, I hovered around her taking mental notes and observing how she whipped things up.

As I got older, I picked up some cooking techniques from books, TV shows and documentaries .

An influx of apps have bestowed upon us many new cooking methods. These apps are intuitive and simple. Also, they are pretty time-saving.

I have to say, our generation is the luckiest one in the past decades. Our life has undergone great transformation as a result of the development of society. I can buy food online instead of going to food markets physically now.

Even though it was raining today, a delivery man brought all the meat and vegetables which I had ordered on an app on time. I couldn’t imagine that a few years ago.

What’s more important is that the app provides semi-finished dishes which I just need to wash and cut, then cook. Cooking doesn’t take too much time anymore.
