The first time to cook

When I was 10 years old, I saw the cooking channel in the television. I saw that the chef who was presenting the show. He looked enjoy with something that he was doing.  I was suspect why he looked happier when did that. With curiosity, so I tried to do like in the television. The first menu that I cooked was chocolate truffle.

In television, the chef looked skillful when he was cooking the chocolate and this menu looked delicious. I tried to do as he did. I started preparing the ingredients and equipments. Then I started to do that, it was very busy and took a long time because I never cook before, so I had no knowledge about ingredients and did not know the storage of equipments. Than I found a pot, a knife, a spoon and bowl mix, it made me quite tired. When ingredients and equipment ready, it was time to make it. The chocolate truffle is an easy menu to cook. It uses a few ingredients, a few pieces of equipment and a few steps to make. However, when I was only 10 years old, it was very difficult. This menu starts from chopped chocolate into small pieces. When I chopped some chocolate, it bounced off the food preparation table to the wall. The white walls were filled with the chocolate crust. Then I put the small pieces of chocolate in a bowl and put it on boiling water in a pot for melting chocolate. Because I was impatient at the chocolate melt slowly so I took it on the fire. And the result was the chocolate in bowl burnt, smelly foul over the kitchen. Chocolate in the bowl became a black solid mass and burn smell, so I threw it away into the garbage. Fortunately, I still have another one piece of chocolate. This time, I calmly cooked according the recipes that I took notes. When I made a chocolate truffle completely, then I took to my family to taste it. Everyone like it and ate it deliciously. They looked happy to eat it and were praised that I done it completely. I was proud of it because it was my first time cooking. Although it had errors and dirty mess, it was worth the smiles and compliments that have been returned. When I see other people happy and like what I do, it makes me very happy.

It is my first time to cook that I don’t forget it because it lets me know that other people smile by my food, it is the best time for me. From the smile, happiness and praise it is the inspiration, I still would like to cook for other people.
