Sample Answer

I taught my friend how to cook a simple pasta dish a few months ago. My friend had recently moved to a new city for work and was struggling to prepare meals for himself in his new apartment. He had always been interested in cooking, but didn't know where to start.

I decided to invite him over to my apartment and show him how to cook a basic pasta dish. We picked a recipe that was easy to follow, and I took him through each step of the process, from boiling the pasta to preparing the sauce.

The lesson lasted for about an hour, and we had a lot of fun working together in the kitchen. I explained each step carefully and answered any questions that my friend had. We also talked about different variations of the recipe and different ingredients that he could use in the future.

I felt great about teaching my friend how to cook. Cooking is a skill that can be incredibly rewarding, and it was satisfying to share my knowledge with someone else. I was also happy to be able to help my friend in a practical way by teaching him how to prepare a simple meal for himself.

In addition, it was also an opportunity to spend some quality time with my friend, doing something we both enjoyed. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I was glad to be able to teach my friend a new skill.
