I want to learn how to cook. Now that I’m not a lone NEET anymore but in a relationship, I want to reach a level where I can cook a succulent meal for my partner. I want to start simple, with a focus on noodle dishes. Later, I want to move on to rice dishes, but that’s for the future.
Hit me with your tips and tricks for someone who has cooked maybe 4-5 times in his life and hasn’t cooked in like 10 years. I’m a complete noob.
Also, YouTube channels would be greatly appreciated, especially those focused on simple dishes and easy stuff. I don’t need anything complex for at least the next year.
Simple. Quick. Tasty. Thats what im looking for.
Thanks, Hexbears!
The piece of equipment that really helped to kick off the development of my cooking skills was an 8 inch chef’s knife. Nobody in my family knew how to cook well, and I had the jankiest collection of random hand me down knives when I first started living on my own.
Having one halfway decent knife that can be used for most things really helped. I still have the $40 Victorinox one I bought ages ago, but other brands might make solid ones - I honestly don’t know which, though.
