If you're totally brand new to cooking then honestly /r/gifrecipes has that kind of content. You won't learn anything special, and a lot of these recipes are over-fucking-loaded with cheese or junk. It'll give you a base to go off of. Once you get a foundation of knowledge in your own kitchen (ie your oven heats different than mine) and a decent amount of utensils/supplies, then you can start looking at professionals like Jaques Pepin. His omelettes and deboned chicken are a lot of fun to practice. If you end up liking butchery then ScottRea on youtube does a lot of cool stuff.

In the end a lot of good tasting food comes from knowing how your herbs and spices go together. That takes practice. Maybe another anon has that infographic about spice pairings. Find out what you like on your own though. I think it's better for you in the long run.

Also ask for criticism if you're cooking for others eventually, but know that most people are too polite to tell you the truth even if they don't like it. Youre gonna be mostly on your own as far as where you think you fucked up or could have done better. Good luck, anon. It's worth the effort.

Oh by the way you may want to learn how to marinade since it's literally the easiest thing ever. Learn the basics, too, like making stock/broth, getting a good roux (still can't nail that one properly) or knowing how to properly prepare meat will be much more useful than learning crazy recipes.

Funnily enough, most "haute cuisine" recipes are super easy and will teach you many things about how to cook food properly, a good coq au vin will teach you how to broil and how to prepare a bouquet garni for seasoning but it's honestly one of the laziest dishes ever.

Youtube.
The "trick" is to look up really basic stuff, because there will still be a "proper" way of doing it and it might be very different from what you're doing now.
For example, did it ever occur to you to watch a video about how to chop an onion? Or how to boil an egg?
If you are truly completely new to cooking this is the kind of stuff you should be looking up at first. Actual recipes come later. Food Wishes is great for those. Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver both have a fair number of videos showing the very basic things.

Aside from that I guess it's mostly about practice. Don't expect the first omelette you make to look good. Don't stop making them because of that.
Actually, omelette is probably a good place to start if you want to learn very basic cooking. Make a lot of them and pay attention to what you're doing; why did this one turn out better than the last one? etc.

French onion soup is another good starting recipe. There are many video recipes for this and some are better than others. This one looks alright but I only skipped through it quickly.

The thing about FOS is that it's very cheap, very delicious, and it forces you to cut (French cut specifically, hence the name) a shitload of onions, so it helps you become familiar with your knife. Do you know how to hold a chef's knife? There's a video for that too.
Hope any of that helps. I'm rambling, sorry.

French onion soup has always been a staple of mine, but I was caught off-guard by the coq au vin. It seemed really proper, but it's not, and it teaches so much about the basics of how to properly prepare meat that it's impressive.

You learn from books for fundamentals.
Get Essential Pepin then some Michael Ruhlman "how to..." books.
The internet is nothing but fake news and mom blogs ever since the ubiquitous nature of smart phones.

My standard recommmendatio I always post when such requests come up:

http://www.grouprecipes.com/73215/arroz-de-tomate-e-feijao---rice-with-tomato-and-beans.html

Personally I use only half as much rice, one up water less and I add some pork belly and hot paprika or chili powder. Super easy to the point of being unfuckupable, cheap, filling and even healthy. You could probably live for months on nothing else without adverse effects.

I haven't been cooking long. Just pick up a cookbook with quick easy weekday meals and work through it.
Things like chicken honey soy noodles are dead easy. It's almost impossible to fuck up a curry
