Go back in time and become a kid again, and watch your mom and help her (peel veggies/potatoes, wash rice, stir food, etc)

thathonkey already gave the best advice you'll ever learn. And remember that for a while you'll gently caress stuff up plenty, so always keep some bread and deli meat handy in case you destroy your dinner. I taught myself to cook about 15 years ago that way, and honestly, people now eat my food and freak out about how good it is. The best part is after a while you know how combinations of ingredients/herbs and spices taste so well that you can just buy staple ingredients every week and manage to whip something delicious every night without having to look at a recipe. Just don't give up when you gently caress everything up at first. Also, if you're really serious about going into this full throttle, I can say that the two handiest things in my kitchen are good knives and a mini-prep. Enjoy!

Man nurse: if you haven't abandoned all hope of getting a serious answer, I will assist you in getting into the world of foodgasm. However the question you posed is somewhat like manning up at the prom, asking a girl to dance, sweat profusely during the quick paced songs, and then hug her to your body where she clearly can feel your palpating heart through your sweat soaked shirt, while some slow song is playing - then at the end of the song blurting out 'I was thinking... Can I kiss you - I mean on the lips and stuff', while looking at her with the fear of rejection written in your eyes, already expecting the sure scoff that is to come. And sure enough - it comes. You need to own this bitch - tell me what the hell you want to cook, and I will teach you to cook the gently caress out of it, I will take the erectile dysfunction that your food skills are, and turn it into something, that you will show off with at any point in time, and people will hungrily shove into their faces - we will teach you to bait women/men/farm animals (according to your chosen sexual preference, we don't care), like a master! You will be known as the master baiter! But you need to tell me what you want to cook!

man nurse posted:what are some good and easy ways to get started in the world of cooking things? 1. Get yourself a decent sharp chefs knife. Don't use the blunt crap. Even an Ikea knife is good for the very first time you want to cut poo poo properly. 2. Think about what you enjoy eating a lot, but that is like a stew or a pasta meat sauce. Bolognese aka ragł was the first dish that I cooked a few times in the beginning to learn how to 'cook'. It starts with some vegetables, you brown meat, you add some additional ingredients like wine, tomato sauce/paste and herbs, and then simmer it for a while. It's forgiving because it's a sauce, difficult to burn or get the timing wrong etc. And you can make a decent sized batch that lasts a few days! 3. Google the recipe, read at least 5 of them to get a general idea of what people are putting in theirs and how they're making it. 4. Watch a video or two. 5. Do it. 6. Find recipes that are similar in technique but will taste different so you don't get bored. Goulash for example is similar in that it's some basic veg, meat, a few extra ingredients and simmered. 7. Go to no. 3 And don't get put off by how cooking starts off being expensive. Unless you've had a fully stocked pantry and fridge because someone else is cooking, it costs a little to get the basics like your herbs and spices. Once you're set up and you learn how to use similar ingredients for different dishes the cost comes down. And you'll also be able to shop for what's on special in the meat department and know how to use it. And don't be afraid of salt, MSG and fats. You want to cook stuff that tastes good, right?

You can make amazing food, better than a $200pp restaurant, at home. It takes time and knowledge to develop that skill, though. Don't expect perfection on your first try. Luckily, food is such a delicious thing that you shouldn't have any problem making something delicious with very little of either training or knowledge. The question is: what do you want to cook? What is a meal that you always enjoy, that you think fondly of when you remember it? It doesn't have to be fancy - in fact, it helps if it isn't - but it should be something you like. For me, the first dish I learned to cook really well was murgh makhani, because butter chicken was one of my favorite things at Indian restaurants that I rarely got to eat because no one else in my family likes Indian food as much as I do. I lucked into a pretty good choice, but even so my first couple attempts were not what I was imagining. It doesn't matter, though! Just toss it and eat something else. Practice is the fastest, easiest way to make better food. So, pick a dish you really love. Maybe something you ate a lot as a child, maybe a tasty restaurant dish. Whatever you like. Tell us what it is, and we'll help you make it. There might already be a goon picture recipe up, you never know.

It's just like learning to play guitar. You buy the best equipment, and then sit down and practice Eddie van Halen solos for like an hour or whatever (I prefer a Whustof for this part, but make sure to keep your finger tips tucked). And then walla. Your a shef.

In all seriousness, Good Eats is on YouTube and Netflix. He will walk you through super-basic techniques, and even do some fairly advanced techniques, recipes and concepts. First time you cook something, follow a recipe (his or someone else's) SLAVISHLY -- you don't know what you're doing yet, so you don't know how important some little step or ingredient could be. VERY VERY SOON you'll be able to just pick up and cook stuff, or riff off recipes you find online.

Ignore anyone who tells you you need fancy stuff like "a sharp knife" or "different herbs" or whatever. What you need is a jar of Italian herbs and a jar of minced garlic. They go in everything. You'll also need a big non-stick frying pan. You can cook just about everything in it and it's super easy to clean. At least one saucepan is also required. If you've only got one you'll want a big one, but it's handy to have a few (in case you want to cook smaller amounts of things). Something like spaghetti is an easy start. You take some meat (I usually go with minced beef, but pick whatever you want) and throw it in the frying pan. Add some Italian herbs. If you're worried about overdoing it, put less than you expect to need as you can always adjust it later. You can also add other nice things at this stage like pepper, tabasco, mustard or garlic or whatever you think will taste nice. Turn the stove on to maximum and if your meat's all stuck together then separate it. Once it starts sizzling, turn the temperature down to medium and move it around a bit so it gets cooked evenly. Repeat as necessary. Once your meat looks OK, add as many cans of diced tomatoes as it takes to match however much meat you got in there, and let it cook a bit. If it starts boiling stir it a bit and turn the heat down. After a few minutes, taste it. It probably needs salt. Add some salt. And you probably didn't put enough herbs or garlic in so add some more of those. Let it cook a bit more. Then you cook your spaghetti according to the directions on the pack, put it on a plate and dump sauce on top. Eat it with parmesan cheese if you like. This is the basic process for cooking many, many things. Take things that seem like they'd taste good together, put them in the frying pan, adjust as needed and then eat them.
