In our community (garhwalis), we are taught to cook from a very young age informally. Identifying spices, combinations, tempering, different ways of cooking, different curry preparations and how to optimize/ prepare with different ingredients is a common theme of growing up. To be honest I am quite glad it is still being taught and probably I will pass it on to my kids as well. Absolutely indispensable and important.
