How do I learn to cook? I can fry eggs, make ready meals and all that basic shit, but I have no idea how to go about putting actual, decent meals together. I'm just completely clueless about how to combine ingredients and plan meals in advance. What do?
Ask your mum

copy from others that know and build from there. I know you can do it if you put in the thought and effort.
It's just a matter of cooking up some veggies for every meal I suppose.
What meals are you looking to cook? Any type of cut of meat cooked anyway with a couple veggie sides is always wasy, fool proof and delicious/
Have you ever heard of something called a cook book? Wonderful things, they have lists of ingredients for all sorts of meals and even instructions on how to assemble them too!
If you're allergic to paper or have too little muscle mass to turn the pages, I hear you can also find such instructions on the internet now, via search engines such as Google.
What a time to be alive.

when i was a rookie like you
i learnt firstly how to prepare common starches such as rice, pasta and potato
then i started to understand spices more, tasting them individually, and using the internet as a guide to good combinations for certain cuisines
i then began learning a box standard chilli, a curry, an asian dish of some kind (generic asian spices, ginger garlic soy sauce, lemon etc), and then an italian sauce. once i got the grasp in a short period of time when i was at university. i began adding greens to everything
and once you are at that stage
where you understand each individual ingredient and its flavour
you can experiment to your taste
when it comes to combining flavours
have some fun
see what you like. learning to cook is a very enjoyable and free process
