I have been learning how to cook for a year now. My friends and family say that it tastes good but I know that it's just basic mediocre home-cooking.
How do I improve?

>Taste your food while cooking and adjust seasoning. Correctly salty for many things is 'slightly less than too salty'. So toe that line.
>try to learn thai food to get an idea about pulling between sweet/salty/sour and about balance generally
>really focus on ingredient quality particularly vegetables. Shop fresh/season, store things, use them quickly, and cook them to perfect doneness
>infact cook everything to perfect doneness. Get a instant read thermometer. Stop overcooking meat. Stop overcooking pasta.

if you got the skills down, just experiment.
look up some kind of meal you've always wanted to try and make it.
This is the most fun part about cooking.
