Coq au vin with quality wine. Of course, we're being sensible here and going with fast recipe that takes about 3-4 hours instead of 8-12 original asks for. Simple dish when you get down to it and nothing to be intimated by.

classical is not practical, OP should focus on eating what he currently enjoys but try to remove anything processed from the equation. all the while improving his understanding of the chemistry processes he uses when cooking.

i read a cooking textbook awhile ago and the mother sauces werent really that important. most people will just make 4 sauces; beef based, fowl based(chicken/turkey), milk based, and tomato based. its a great primer to get into soups and what have you but 95% of it is useless info for joe six pack.

the classical order is roux>sauces>soups>entrees>desserts/baking

the practical order is whatever the fuck you enjoy eating.
>>6990940 OP you should torrent a cooking textbook and skim whatever you want to get better at eating.

Can we all agree that good food is better than sex /ck/?
