10, not only for myself, but used to cook some simple noodles with eggs to feed me and cousin.
I started cooking from day 1 after i got kicked out of the house and got my own place. I was 19 at the time i guess and i was still simple minded, just getting mostly pre-made stuff that I only needed to reheat. Over the years I started watching a few shows, looking over the internet for new recipes and thinking that I can do better then store bought stuff. I started trying to reverse engineer certain things. Eventually @DinohScene came along and i fed him my still incompetent undercooked potatoes. I started getting a drive after that, that I wanted my food to be able to compete with restaurant grade food. So I kept on practicing.
Just after Dinoh and I started living together I even managed to get a hold of a job as cook. Not fastfood or w/e, real cooking as in entire dishes. Couldn't handle the stress of the job unfortunately, but I never had a single dish send back to me. As of now, I still try to experiment with different things like my suprise buns that I made recently. Dinoh is a perfect guinea pig for testing my foods. c:

I guess from the age I was about 13 or 14, I cooked dinner one day of the week (not all by myself though) and that went on for a while.
I did some cooking in school before that though.
Moved out at 16, and did a lot of cooking at that time, making heavy use of the recipe leaflets that were at the grocery store, picking whatever sounded good. Shame they got rid of those as they made it much easier to cook varied dishes. Nowadays I just stick to the same few dishes and rarely ever made from scratch. Looking online for recipes is effort especially when I don't know what I want and most of it doesn't particularly interest me (if I am going to go out of my way to cook from scratch then it better be one of the most delicious meals I have ever had)

I think somewhere around 7-8 years old if you count making sandwiches in. As for proper meal-like think, maybe 10 years old. And only because earlier I was too dumb to use a stove.. and too short to reach most shelves.
Bread/piadina in the electric grill or microwave... dunno, maybe 9?
Packaged pasta (think mac n cheese, but we don't have that) and steak flipping... not that sure either, surely by the time I started university
Actually getting veggie tables, cutting them up, and stuff... 2 years ago, after I got a full time job and could therefore enjoy the luxury of 1 week/year home alone in August

Probably 15 or 16. Good life skill and I'm sure some chicks out there like guys who cook.
If we're talking packaged pasta like mac n cheese then like 10 or 11 probably.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
