1. One teacher did, but he was pretty chill about it, so he never told anybody. He thought it was hilarious!
2. I learned to cook through observance, I watched my mom cook growing up and I took after her. Also I have worked in a couple full service restaurants and did everything there including cook/chef. So I pulled from that as well. I'm living on my own now, and I tend not to eat junk food often, so I'm cooking my own meals most of the time anyway, so I'm constantly improving.
