<p>How? And I mean other than eggs and all that basic stuff.
Do you just randomly mix food togther or what?</p>
<p>Cooking is really, really easy. Pay attention to how your mom cooks and you should be set.</p>
<p>You could also flip through food/cooking mags or books for a little inspiration or to help you become more familiar with the basics…after that you can add a little bit something of your own…just think of something you want to cook and it just kind of comes naturally i suppose…? Cooking isnt that hard i promise.</p>
<p>It’s easy to not screw up entirely, but hard to get exactly right. Just follow the directions in any cookbook of any cuisine that takes your fancy.</p>
<p>Cooking blogs are ace.
Seriously, visit [smitten</a> kitchen](<a href=“http://smittenkitchen.com/]smitten”>http://smittenkitchen.com/)
It’s a really awesome cooking blog with gorgeous photos and unique recipes. I love that site. It’s ace. </p>
<p>Another good one is [Steamy</a> Kitchen Recipes | cooking, food and easy recipes that are fast, fresh and simple](<a href=“http://steamykitchen.com/blog/]Steamy”>Jaden's Blog Archives • Steamy Kitchen Recipes Giveaways)
which has good recipes. Plus, and this is why I love it, it has authentic Shanghainese recipes. Which I’ve been stuck craving that type of food ever since studying there. </p>
<p>I’d suggest keeping away from the obvious FoodNetwork.com recipes. The television shows are great for learning–but for some reason, the recipes on their website blow and, strangely enough, never match the recipe given on a certain show. </p>
<p>So if you want to make something from one of the Food Network shows, just tape it or DVR it because the website gives the wrong (and really bad) recipes. </p>
<p>Show wise, I recommend Giada’s recipes. Hers are really clean and always taste amazing.</p>
<p>Personally, I just look out for things that I see elsewhere that look really good, and then I try to emulate them. I give it a few shots, and it’s always edible (as Circular said, it’s hard to screw up entirely), and if it’s not something I like after a few tries at making it, I give up. I have maybe 10 or 15 things that I can make that I really like.</p>
<p>Cooking’s easy Broski’s. Just read the ingredients and put everything in at the right time.</p>
<p>cooking’s super duper easy. you can watch coking shows for the basics [i recommend Good Eats, mostly because i <3 alton brown]. I like to try out williams sonoma recipes because they generally turn out well, but once you get a few things down stuff will just come naturally.</p>
<p>It’s just reading instructions. There are some shortcuts you can take for things like sloppy joes and meatloaf too (a seasoning packet for each can be found at the grocery store, though for meatloaf I would highly recommend adding a chopped up pepper or some diced onion for some more flavor).</p>

<p>Good call - one of my favorite blogs.</p>
<p>omgizzle i just checked out smitten kitchen. i think i’m in love.</p>
<p>

<p>SECONDED WITH GREAT GUSTO! Damn, that has to be the best site on my Feedly…</p>
<p>I don’t cook, but its not that easy because you have to know how the ingredients work together.</p>
<p>pork, you really don’t necessarily have to know how they work together…that’s why recipes exist; it’s the things other people have already found work together.</p>
<p>Use your instinct.
Put everything that might blend.
Add seasonings.</p>
<p>I like how some of the smartest kids in the nation have trouble cooking and driving, but they can do calculus like it’s the alphabet.</p>
<p>^ True ****.</p>
<p>Thank god I forced my mom to teach me how to cook. Now I can cook as many meals as she can, and better.</p>
<p>Great site for recipes (though not necessarily great if you’re just learning to cook): [url=<a href=“http://www.foodgawker.com/]foodgawker[/url”>http://www.foodgawker.com/]foodgawker[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Honestly, I’ve learned from the food network. I love to cook and have been in the kitchen since age 8 probably</p>
<p>Season to taste and cook until it’s edible. Take it from there and experiment sometimes.</p>
<p>Sexist, are we?
I know plenty of women who can’t cook and depend on their male significant others to cook for them. It’s becoming more and more common in this day and age.</p>
