    17 Things Pinoys Who Love To Cook Secretly Know Too Well

    If you love to cook, you know that these things are so relatable!

    1. When people assume you know the difference between certain ingredients *just because you know how to cook*

    2. People tell you "Pwede ka na mag asawa!" after finding out you CAN cook

    3. Or better yet: "Kelan ka mag aasawa?"

    4. When they think all your meals at home are gourmet

    5. Is it menudo, mechado, afritada or caldereta?

    6. People who know nothing about cooking argue about food with you

    7. They ask you to determine whether food is rotten already

    8. What's your specialty?

    9. Friends turn to you for recipes

    10. Going to a restaurant and knowing you can create the dish better

    11. But when you do try a new recipe you love, you want to recreate it at home

    12. People ask "Can I have your recipe?"

    13. You can *TOTALLY* sell this!

    14. And the worst... finding out your friend is now cooking the same dish AND selling it on Facebook

    15. You patiently wait until your friends take that first bite

    16. Even though you're not sure they really love your cooking or because it's free

    17. But despite all these... you continue to cook for friends because you know it's what truly makes you happy.
