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
Super easy, cut off the florets, cut them into bite sized chunks, toss them in enough olive oil to coat everything, salt and pepper to taste, garlic and onion powder, mix it all up to thoroughly coat, maybe add a little thyme if you’re feelin’ sexy, and then roast it at 425 degrees fahrenheit in an oven for like idk 10ish minutes before checking. Check and see if it’s developing good browning (maillard reactions). A little charring is okay, too much charring is bad (bitter flavors, plus carcinogenic stuff from incomplete combustion).
IMO roasted broccoli sucks, you gotta get it just right or it’s easy to be bitter. Steam that shit, put it into a steam basket over boiling water for like 8-10 minutes. You can eat broccoli raw so really you’re just making it more tender to taste. Once it’s tender dump it in some melted butter or margari9ne if you’re vegan and garlic and onion powder and salt and pepper that shit. E Z.
you didn’t mention it but do the same thing to green beans that I said to do for cauliflower and people will trip over their dicks to tell you how amazing your green beans are
