The key with learning how to cook well is that you need to learn your fundamentals. Like many other skills, cooking isn't so much a single skill as it is a set of skills--there's a lot to learn, but the good news is that it compounds.

So learn how to do very simple stuff at first. Learn how to cook rice, how to boil pasta, how to fry an egg, how to cook meat and check for doneness, etc. You'll make mistakes; I've made tons, and I still make them, and I'm a very competent cook. The key is to learn from them.

And watch Good Eats if you can find it.

Ironically that's the book that my mum bought me last xmas. It's not a bad book, there are some meals that are too high level for me, but I'll try different recipes. I actually got to cook a nice round of pasta.

Anyone else?

I never understood people who "can't cook". Can you read google maps?

Just pick some things you like. Chicken Masala, tom kha gai, tomatillo based chile, and search allrecipes. Find one that has high stars and few ingredients. Buy the spices, follow the instructions, and you've got yourself a meal.
