Just follow those TASTY guides on facebook XDDDDDDDDDDDD

Check out the foodwishes youtube, there's basic and complex recipes and Chef John is good at walking you through the hardest parts of a recipe.

My advice, learn to cut vegetables properly, brown your meat (don't fucking crowd it in the pan) and make your stocks from scratch.

literally jump in

i cooked my first steak this week

patted it dry, salt and peppered it, put my pan on medium high and cooked each side for 4 minutes

bam tender medium rare meat

Trial and error, my man. Just keep making shit that you think you'll like, fuck it up, learn from your mistakes, keep making it until it's perfect.

Get a dishwashing gig and suck up to the cooks until they give you a shot at the line, you'll learn OTJ.
Do you just want to learn?
