It was almost same for me. Even as girl, I never liked being in the kitchen. I only stay in the kitchen with my mom and pretend to watch what she's doing when my dad is home cause he would scold me if otherwise.
It was when I gained admission, I started calling my mom whenever I want to cook that I learnt how to cook
And I've come to enjoy and love cooking since I learnt to do so. Now, I always want to be in the kitchen, cooking, trying out new recipe
I love cooking now.
