My kids can cook. My daughter was a born natural and was cooking in the kitchen and creating recipes from when she was only 3 years old. I still have her recipe for "Lemon Noodles." She really should do more in the food industry. She works for a vineyard/winery now. My son can cook, but he lacks some basic knowledge about putting things together, like how much baking powder to use, or how to create a perfect sauce, or gravy. But, he can make a mean pizza.
I should look in my Julia Child's cookbook to see if that shrimp recipe is in there. I'll keep you posted.
