My hobby is cooking. I like to cook all kinds of light meals, especially something sweet.

I cook when I have free time. I also love to cook with friends. When I do this with friends, it is much more interesting and fun than cooking on my own. All in all, my everyday cooking place is my home.

 For example, making your favorite pancakes is quite simple:

To make batter you will need:

- 1 glass of flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 2 eggs

- ½ teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons of sugar

- 1 glass of milk

- 1 tablespoon oil

1) Mix and stir all ingredients well in a large bowl.

2) Put the dough in a hot skillet; cook on both sides until golden brown.

3) Serve pancakes with honey or jam.

I love to cook because. Cooking is soothing. And you feel like a little creator who creates something himself.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little story about my hobby. Sorry to take your time. Thank you for your attention!

In the United Kingdom, the New Year is celebrated from the evening of December 31st into January 1st.

The date was declared as the New Year in 1752. Before 1752, England celebrated its New Year on Christmas Day, that is on December, 25.

Traditionally it is not as widely celebrated as Christmas. However, people enthusiastically wait for the time of the New Year to arrive; more so because it offers them a chance to carry forward their celebration mood of Christmas ahead and higher with the New Year celebrations.
