Turning into your parentsUnable to hold back the genetic tide, I find myself gardening in my carpet slippers, asking for a knife and fork in McDonalds and agreeing with the Daily Telegraph. I'm beyond help - what about you?
Thanks to b3th for the suggestion

I like thisMy dad always cooks bread, and I'll always associate it with him. I love having fresh bread, to the extent we don't have shopbrought in the house anymore. Unfortunately, his excellent cooking skills have not been passed down, though I make excellent cakes and bread :)

I've taught my kidswhat I know about cooking: find a recipe, try it, think about how to improve it, and don't be afraid to experiment with it. Sticking completely to a recipe is for people who have no soul- improvisational cooking is where the real fun is.
All three of my kids are very good cooks.

Looks like Nigella Lawson has my soulI'm scared of deviating from recipes. I alter spices and things like that, will play with treacle/golden syrup balance and use different types of sugar, but never amounts. Unless it turns out too dry/watery, and an amendment is needed.
I just need more confidence/practice...
