Like where can i start if im not good at cooking? how do i decide what i want to attempt to make aswell? i dont want to spend to much to begin but is there also a low cost way to start by chance?
Im keeping this brief but if you have a question for me leave a comment?
Start with something you really like to eat. You like it so much you can tolerate it if it’s only ok.
Start making that repetitively.
That’s what will become your ‘go to’ recipe.
After a few dozen times you’ll start to get some nuance in how you make it. You’ll understand the heat, timing and seasonings.
From there you start on a second recipe that may need a new technique.
So for instance , roast chicken.
Tasty, cheap and can be served a few different ways over a week.
I used the joy of cooking, though later began to like the American test kitchen books for their detailed explanations of each part of the dish and what goes wrong.
Honestly being forced to cook everything you eat really ups your skills.
Stay away from dishes that need special equipment. Deep Fried food are pretty hard to learn and expensive as a beginner. You can get most cooking equipment from a Salvation Army/goodwill to start.
I like cook books since you can write yourself notes in them as to what you tried and if it was a good idea. If you find a recipe online print it out and keep it.
