Probably around the same time as you, Mrs. Bee. I was also thinking about letting LO cook something too. I want her to cook earlier than I did and am wiling to train her.

I think I've only cooked ramen alone as a teenager. I didn't really cook cook till college.

I'd say maybe when I was 7 or 8, heating things on the stovetop (like soup or frozen veggies). I helped my mom cook for as long as I can remember, and I remember baking a cake from scratch for my 10th birthday (mainly due to stubbornness - I mean double-digits = grown-up, right? )

My parents divorced when I was 15, and I lived with my dad after they separated, so I took on cooking for him and my brother at that point.

I recall making fried rice at 8-9 years old, and i started baking by myself around the same time too. My grandma would turn on the oven for me though.

Seeing all the kids cooking shows really gets me excited about cooking with Luna! I didn't cook anything on my own until about 6th grade when I would make myself things like scrambled eggs and rice krispie treats lol but I always enjoyed helping my mom bake!

I cooked full meals for my family when I was 9 years old.
My sisters weren't into cooking, so I would make dinner a few nights a week and have everything prepared before my parents got home from work.

Around 8 or 9. My parents worked late, so I would often start dinner. I made mostly tacos, mashed potatoes, and spaghetti! Ugh, and hamburger helper. I can't even look at a box of that stuff anymore!
