Every one of us has a special cooking memory, and here is a collection of some submitted by our readers.

And the secret ingredient is?
Expand / Collapse
When I was about 7 or 8, my single mum started seeing a new man. He was very eager to impress us and so decided to come over and cook the whole family Spaghetti Bolognese one night. We all sat down to what looked like a delicious feast, only to find that it tasted quite horrible. We couldn't work out what it was until my mum pulled a bottle of unlabeled oil from the shelf. It turned out he's used her massage oil instead of olive oil!

Back to basics
Expand / Collapse
When I was a kid, we used to go camping every summer holidays. We'd make damper in the morning and bury it under the embers of a fire along with some jacket potatoes. We'd then head to the beach for a while and by the time we got back it's be time to dig up our lunch! It was so fun feeling like we were making real bush tucker.
3.
International cuisine
Expand / Collapse
I'd never forget the first dinner I had overseas. It was a very simple meal of beans and rice because we were backpacking and didn't have much money, but at the time it seemed like the most amazing meal I'd ever had.

Ouch- that's hot!

I recall (very clearly) making toffee when I was about 10yrs old. For whatever reason, I was curious if the liquid toffee was hot enough and dipped my finger into the saucepan. A clear scream was heard from our kitchen! A blister just about emerged from my finger on the spot.... Not a good memory, but a clear lesson learnt!
5.
Lemon Meringue Pie
Expand / Collapse
My mum makes the most amazing lemon meringue pie with Nestlé’s Sweetened Condensed milk. The filling is beautifully rich and creamy and perfectly complements the meringue and biscuit base. We cook all gluten free, due to me and mum being coeliacs so it’s great to have Nestle products that don't contain gluten. Thanks again!
