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
Are you trying to learn like 10 - 15 recipes to cycle through or are you trying to learn how to look at a quarter stocked pantry and a half stocked fridge and figure out what to make of it, more like home economics basically?
I ask because a lot of people I’ve taught some cooking get, understandably, frustrated when they’re following recipes and are left with like half an onion, quarter can of tomatoes and 3 sprigs of rosemary that just go bad and have to be thrown out. They’re not mutually exclusive to each other and either one is fine, but I feel like the latter is a lot harder to learn through generally available online recipes.
