do you have many cooking utensils like crock pots or fryers? I'm gonna assume you at least have a cast iron skillet and pots and pans

[Anonymous No.10513992]

>>10513981
not a skillet (should I get one?) but a frypan and some pots

Literally anything, really. Very very few recipes are particularly difficult if you can follow directions.

Try baking "no-knead bread" -- extremely easy, it just needs to sit for 12+ hours. The results are astounding.

Think of a food you like.

Do you have it? Good. Now, type it into google, and then type the word "recipes" and hit enter.

Click the first link.

Do what it says to do in the recipe.

Now you're cooking like a professional chef! Way to go, OP!

I like soufflé so I'm good to go if i just google a recipe on it? great advice anon

[Anonymous No.10514015]

>>10514010
Soufflé is overrated at being hard. I expected more...

[Anonymous No.10514027]

Obviously there are some crappy recipes out there so there is a bit of hyperbole in his post. But for most things it really is that easy.

As I said before, there are very very few recipes which are honestly hard.

>>10514015
Yep. Souffles can be tricky in a restaurant setting when you're trying to juggle two dozen orders at the same time. At home, when you don't have a billion distractions, they're pretty simple.

Anyway, I already gave you a beginner oriented reply--the very first one in the thread, in fact. So I'm not sure why you're bitching.

Easy lemony shrimp pasta.
Boil some linguine or angel hair and set aside.
Add a tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp olive oil to a pan and get it hot.
Add 3-4 cloves of garlic with a tbsp red chili flakes, 1.5 tsp oregano and your peeled shrimps. Cook until shrimps turn pink.
Throw your cooked pasta in that and add more butter and olive oil. Squeeze in a bunch of fresh lemon juice. Zest the lemon into the pasta if you have the tool.
Top it with chopped up italian parsley and good grated parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to your liking.

Its fucking good.

I despise shrimp utterly, but this is a good recipe, thanks.

[Anonymous No.10514106]

>>10514010
Yes. Are you a functional adult who can follow directions? It's not that hard.

I'm not saying every recipe is a walk in the park, but I am saying that with the existence of the internet, there is absolutely nothing daunting about learning to use the kitchen. Even if you're illiterate, there are video recipes that show you exactly what to do and how to do it.

You have the entire internet at your disposal and you come ask 4chan how to turn on the stove, then bitch when you get made fun of.

You can look through her site. She has a lot of great options that are easy

Do a roast pork loin with pan sauce, loaded mashed potatoes, and sauteed green beans.
Dead simple for the bare bones recipes which you can dress up in innumerable ways, but it teaches you prep and time management. Those two things you need to develop can be honed while doing the classic roast/starch/veg combo.

Another fun one is jambalaya. Every meat is cooked in batches in the same pot, adding to the flavor. So you can do whiskey shrimp, red wine beef, honey chicken, beer andouille, etc in batches, and bring it all together in the end with the aeromatics and rice.
