Well shits to expensive and I’m finally home enough so I’m learning to cook. Turns out when your not being constantly criticized for existing, cooking isn’t nearly as terrible! (Trauma made me hate cooking).
So far I’ve been keeping it very simple. Store bought pasta, store bought sauce, put them together, that kind of thing. I think I’m getting ready to branch out and learn more.
I’d love to hear some things from those of you who know your way around the kitchen. If you have a recipe you love or, a story to tell or, a warning you learned the hard way or, a great website/cookbook/youtube channel or, anything else you feel like sharing.
I’m just here to learn some stuff, hear some stories and get some ideas to try. Thanks for having a fun cooking convo with me!
It’s old, but I taught myself to cook watching Good Eats. His stuff isn’t always the best, and some of his methods are out of date now. He makes you understand what you are doing though, not just showing recipes.
I’m re-watching through with my kiddo now as he learns to cook and it still holds up. He’s in middle school and just started a home cooking class and has been cooking circles around his classmates.
I was going to mention Good Eats. I was in middle school when it first aired and it does a good job teaching the whys and ways of things in the kitchen. Re-watched it not too long ago too, def holds up well imo. I am obsessed with the baked bean recipe.
That’s great to know, I’ll check it out
You’re in luck!
He’s been making Alton Brown Cooks Food for almost a year now. I recommend going through starting with episode 1 at least on the first pass. Maybe watch the videos on your own before sitting down with kiddo? That’s up to you.
