I was ten years old and my mom taught me to make a fudge pudding cake.
What's your kitchen like and how do you keep organized when cooking?
My kitchen is beautiful. I've cooked in a professional kitchen where everyone needed to pull there own weight. I got used to cleaning up after myself as I worked.
