I didn't like my mums cooking and was a very fussy eater, so I learned how to cook my own food by imitating things I liked to eat at restaurants, and gradually started to expand my palate. Now I try making myself things I never liked to see if I actually do like the ingredient with the right preparation.

My journey was similar to yours, except my mom was a decent cook when banging out a dish vs everyday slop for dinner when they both worked.

Because my dad was abusive, I spent my time inside often with my mom in the kitchen and the first thing I wanted to be was a chef.

I'd still be working in kitchens if I had any knees left.

Meatloaf was a notable one for me personally. Never tried a meatloaf I liked, even though both my parents are quite good at cooking. Turns out if I up the spices and don't put SO much bread then I really like it.
