Who taught you how to cook?

My mom taught me the basics, she was an excellent cook. But sometime when I was in high school, she just stopped cooking. I wasn't home very often, so it didn't affect me that much. When I've gone home as an adult, her cooking is NOT what I remember at all. It's bland and just not all that good. This makes me sad. But I have borrowed a few of her recipes, and they come out great, so I really don't know what happened.

Anything beyond the basics, I picked up from my high school boyfriend, my older sister, and my aunt. I really do like to cook, but until recently, I didn't do it very often. I'm on a new healthy kick, and I'm cooking several times a week. And 'm remembering how much I enjoy it. I've tried out a few new recipes lately, but I also have my favorites. In fact, I'm making one tonight, Chicken Piccata. yum!
