My grandmother has a great cooking story. When she was young, she used to cook for a large family with very limited ingredients. She would get creative and make delicious meals out of almost nothing. Her famous potato pancakes are still a family favorite today.
My sister's first - time cooking was baking a cake. She was so excited but also a bit nervous. She forgot to preheat the oven properly, and the cake didn't rise as much as it should have. But it tasted really good, and she was proud of herself for trying. Since then, she has become quite a good baker.
A friend of mine told me about his first time cooking pasta. He didn't know how much water to use at first and ended up with a bit of a watery mess.

One interesting cooking story could be when my mom decided to make a Thanksgiving dinner from scratch. She woke up early in the morning to start preparing the turkey. She stuffed it with her special blend of herbs and spices. Then, while the turkey was in the oven, she made the most delicious mashed potatoes and gravy. It was a huge success and the whole family was so happy.
A friend of mine had a bad experience making a cake. She misread the amount of baking powder and added way too much. The cake rose like crazy in the oven and then collapsed into a gooey mess. It tasted horrible too, with a really strong chemical flavor from all that extra baking powder.
