/ck/ - Food & Cooking

/pol/tard here. I was going to pay $5K and do a year of chef training at Niagara College in Canuckistan, but my high levels of autism are telling me to just grab a book and self teach in the privacy of my bunker.

I have decent home skills (can make breads, pastry, sauces, etc), but suck at knife skills, charcuterie, meat and fish. Not looking to do this as a career (lol minimum wage and kitchen staffs are degenerates).

Is there a good book that /ck/ can recommend, or should I suck it up and try to blend in with the normies? Maybe redpill the unwashed smoker masses?
