First recipe?
Toad in a hole. I loved that as a kid.
took me a few tries but I believe my first was fried chicken
My first recipe was, believe it or not, seafood gumbo. My grandmother forced me to watch her make it several times, and, to this day, remains one of my favorite things to eat.
My first recipe was Eggs in a Frame. My brother had me make them for him all the time.
I’ve now done all you’ve asked, except that I don’t tweet, so no entry for that one.
I learned to make brownies from a mix.
As I’ve been married 50 years & started cooking as a child on a farm I don’t remember what I first cooked. Now I’m starting to teach my 11 year old grandson to cook. This book would be a wonderful help with that!
It’s been a long time but I think it was a stir fry dish.
I think the first thing I learned to make was a baked custard. This was something I loved to eat too.
probably snickerdoodles
I’m not entering the giveaway because I already have this book and absolutely love it! What a great giveaway!!!!
I think the first thing I made was cake from a mix when I was about 9 yo, but I can remember not long after that baking cake from scratch and substituting ingredients that we didn’t have. Somehow it all ended up alright, although I didn’t really know what I was doing at the time.
The very first thing I EVER cooked was eggs.
Simple but fun.
The first recipe I learned how to make was Macaroni and cheese!
Do I answer again? Haha it was eggs… but another thing I learned to make early on was korean-style sushi, kimbab!
The first recipe I learned was pancakes
