Hey /ck/. I'm sure you've had numerous cases of newfags like me over the years. Typical case of moving out and wanting to learn how to cook so I don't starve or ruin my health.

I don't expect anyone to spoon feed to me how to cook, and that's not what I want. If anyone would be kind enough to answer me... I have two questions.

1) What are some trustworthy sources you'd recommend that I could read to find out general tools, recipes, ingredients and methods?

2) What'd be the most effective way to lurk so I could take the most out of what seems to be a pretty divided community?

1. Seriouseats.com, Gordon Ramsay's cooking shows and youtube channel

2. Don't follow 90% of the vertical recipes you see here, don't get caught in meme food fights, don't get caught in debating whether mexican cuisine or japanese cuisine is more overrated or something as asinine as that, don't turn alcoholic, don't put beans in a chili. Take everything with an extremely large grain of salt.

Matter of fact, just come here to look at pictures of food and ignore everything else.

Cookpad. Go to those threads which tell you how to stock up on your pantry. Generally you want to get rice cheaper than $10/10kg (If not, you're getting ripped off) Pasta for $1/500g(Trust me, you can do better than that) and cheap potatoes(I can't find cheap potatoes in my area so no advice on that). Post pictures of your cooking and ask for advice.

I can't believe I solved 8 captchas correctly in order to be allowed to post this

Gordon loves salt; what tastes too salty for the normal human doesn't taste salty enough for him.

Wondering why you deleted this. Did you think the prices per measurement weren't correct, or..?

it's just basic basic things.
learn how to cut veggies
learn how to make roux
learn how to use aromatic spices
learn how to cook a few meats a few different ways
from there you can specialize to your tastes and you cook what you want

If you're serious about anything you shouldn't spend more than 10 minutes here a day. It's a shithole compared other sites. This comes from an oldfag who has contributed a lot over the years.
