Good Eats with Alton Brown
Gordon Ramsay's ultimate cookery course

both on youtube and great for beginners.

>>7410997
Good Eats, Food Wishes, Cooking With Dog. Follow their recipes exactly the first time you cook a dish.
Do not substitute ingredients, just don't cook a dish if you can't find all the ingredients.
Experiment after you have successfully made the dish.

Watch Jacques Pepin for inspiration if anything.
Also his shows are /comfy/ as fuck

See, the thing about cooking is that it will end up the same exact way every time if the instructions are followed right. Think of things you like to eat and look up fancy shit. That's it, really.

How about lurking more instead of shitting up the board with such a stupid thread?

Yeah, what a pesky asshole asking about cooking on a cooking board, instead of lurking through the fantastically-informative fast food and carbonara threads. It's the drizzling shits, I tell ya'.

you can't tell me what not to get mad at. fuck you I hate seeing this thread

here's some recipes from /ck/

There's not cheat course OP. Pick something you want to eat. Look up a recipe (from a vetted source if starting up). Follow the instructions.

You'll fuck up and that's OK. Learn from -how- you fucked up and start again.. Plenty of sources upthread and if you want to risk the /ck/ input there's always the booru.

>learn proper techniques
>look up recipes
>cook a fucking ton
>make the same dishes over and over, always trying to improve, think what you are doing and why
the first point is especially important
as long as you understand what you are doing and know cooking techniques making tasty food is fucking easy
and looking at recipes you basically just have to see the ingredients and you already know more or less what you need to do

That's all you need.

Seconding this completely. I would argue that technique is 90% of cooking.

>>7411188
oh and making the same dish over and over will actually help you tremendously, you will probably learn more trying to perfect 3 dishes over and over again than making 30 different dishes only once
