hiiiiii communists who live in my pc, do any of you know how to cook?
i don’t. at all. a few days ago my roommate taught me how to scramble an egg, and i had never had broccoli or cauliflower or (most other vegetables 🙃) until he let me try some of his, so that’s approximately where i’m at with food knowledge. given that i’m clueless and live with several people in a completely open plan house, i try to avoid cooking anyway because i’m constantly being watched in the kitchen and people are making their little comments. BUT work is sending me traveling so i have a kitchen all to myself for 2 weeks and an affordable supermarket about 10 minutes walk away. i plan to use this time to try to learn a bit <3
the only problem is that i have absolutely no clue where to start. i can make rice and boil pasta and that’s about it. do any of you have recipes that are accessible for a noob and will help me grind my skill up? 
or any idea of places online for my situation?
i have no dietary restrictions and i’m open to trying pretty much anything once. i’m just confused and every recipe i click on online seems to be some artisan shit that needs 2 hours and tools and ingredients i’ve never heard of
I’d just get some basic cookbook and start doing it. Also cooking shows really do help, I used to watch them and still do. Nigella was my gal back in years when I was still new to cooking. YT has so many cooking videos.
You will learn to cook by cooking. This might sound obvious and could be bad advice, easy for me to say as I started cooking very young and really enjoy it.
But I’ve burnt stuff, ruined things, failed and still sometimes do. You will however develop the skill as you go. Choose a recipe, follow it the best you can and repeat. Recipes for just basic everyday foods will go far, I used to cook from an old “housewifes cooking” type of book that just existed in our home when I was a kid and there was also other cook books and recipes passed down from grandmothers etc. When I would hit a wall, I’d call my grandma to ask for advice, so you could also just ask someone to teach you for real. People usually love to do it or love to cook together. Promise to chop the veggies for a friend and ask them to teach you how to make something they make that you really like. Ask for a written recipe and go for it.
Also tasting the food as you go is the best cheffy tip I ever learnt.
Basic everyday food recipes should be a few core ingredients and fairly straightforward. If it looks complex and has a ton of stuff, skip those for now. Over time you won’t need recipes at all anymore.
