I love to cook because I love to eat. Great restaurants, my family’s food or international dishes aren’t very accessible where I live to I learn. Find foods you really want to eat and give it a go!
Learn techniques and everything else will come. I don’t use recipes at all now except for baking and would like to think my dinner party food is pretty high quality
Laissez faire style cooking 🤣
I do have a little blog with few videos and will start posting ingredients and more tutorial in 2023 if interested. Mostly homemade Italian food.
It’s @raguandmosh on Instagram
Practice. Cook at least twice a week. Focus on a particular cuisine so you understand their flavors and ingredients, then move on to the next. Watch cooking shows to familiarize yourself with how things should look as things cook.
If you like pasta, maybe start with making your own sauce.
Signed up for Hello Fresh. 😅
I was a decent home cook before, but have actually surprised myself at the variety of dishes I’ve been able to cook using Hello Fresh. It’s also nice to spend less time meal planning and just focus on cooking the food that arrives. I used to get really intimidated, frustrated and discouraged doing my own goggling for recipes to make at home. Hello Fresh made it easier as I got more confident in my cooking skills.
Also, look into cooking classes locally. Sur la Table does some good ones. You’ll learn new recipes and techniques.
And don’t be afraid to google things like ‘how to dice an onion’ to learn short cuts vs just figuring it out yourself. Only learned in the past few years how inefficiently I’d been dicing onions.
Also agree with this. Got hellofresh. Tried a few recipes and then canceled. But really learned new recipes and started cooking more
I greatly improved my skills by watching all kinds of cooking channels on YouTube. My favorites include French Cooking Academy, Natasha’s Kitchen, Joshua Weissman, and Gordon Ramsay
I like Sip and Feast, Not Another Cooking Show, and Preppy Kitchen on YouTube.
I got caught in a global pandemic and restaurants were closed, so I learned to cook 🤷🏻♀️.
I find the alchemy of cooking really interesting. The book “Salt Fat Acid Heat” helped me understand the science behind cooking, which gave me a good foundation. Then, I started reading cookbooks and online recipes, including the comments, and experimenting. I liked cooking what I liked eating.
I got better by cooking a lot and following recipes of chefs whose food I learned I like.
Learn flavor combos too - when I was a kid (I was a weird kid) I’d just go to websites of fancy restaurants and read the menus for ideas of what they were doing
Now that’s what I call born and bred foodie! 🤣🥩🥐🍳🍕🌮🍤🧁
I’m getting hungry reading this thread. 🤤
There is a new “Cooking” bowl on here:
👍
YouTube videos and recipes that I would want to replicate from Instagram
Also want to add YouTube show/chef, “Mr. Make It Happen”. Great cooking here. Chef has motto, “we’re here for a good time, not a long time” 😂
Just do it more often! It’s all about practice. Plus, if you have friends or family who like cooking - ask them for the favorite recipes that are easy.
I cooked a lot when I was growing up and learned then. Watch some cooking shows and get a good cookbook but remember that it is not necessary to have a recipe when you are cooking. That is only necessary when you are baking.
Highly recommend watching “Sip and Feast” on YouTube for basic Italian recipes. Chef is very down to earth and explains things to the viewer. Also just as good is “Not Another Cooking Show” on YouTube, also explains steps with easy to follow recipes. I think you will learn a lot from these 2 shows, I hope you check them out! 👍🍀
Think of a food you like, look up how to make it. Read reviews on the recipe for a better idea of if it’s actually good. I find cooking channels to be overly dense. I make easy recipes that will take 30 minutes or less, and I cook more frequently that way.
Practice, YouTube videos, blogs, apps like Mealime, TV shows are all good ways. Learn the basics first and then build from there.
I suggest cookbooks too, cooking for beginners is good. It covers all the basics, which herbs mix, how to use spices, etc.
