/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Seriously, experiment by coupling meat with veggies, then sauces, and then consider what spices go best with combinations of those veggies and sauces. Once you figure out a handful of spices and sauces you enjoy, the rest will be easy and you'll always be able to add little touches to whatever recipe you follow if you're feeling creative.

Also read up on different cultures and themes their foods follow. Many countries seem to have their own small group of preferred veggies and spices. Knowing these mixes lets you, say, add a bit of an Indian twist to something.

Another thing: Cook alone as often as you possibly can. Knowing you're the only person you're feeding will make you so much more open to experimentation. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to do something stupid to a stew or curry but never got the chance because my gf was over.

Good luck, OP!

how long would it take for someone with almost no cooking experience to become "good" at cooking?

Do you watch any food related videos? What are your favorites? It doesn't have to be specificaly about cooking, just have to do something with food.

The only food related thing I watch are Ashens' reviews of terrible canned food, to be completely honest.

Hey /ck/, /mu/ here. Just came back from the store with a beautiful 16 ounce bone-in ribeye. How do I make the best steak with this beauty? I plan on dinner in about 2 hours.
