Think of a dish you like. My first dish was fajitas.
Now go online and find a recipe.
Then buy the ingredients.
Then make it.

I... dont know how this is hard for people. But then again I suck with cars, so, there. Those are your directions.

>> No.12868720

Just stay cooking like >>12868649 said. Always learn from your mistakes. Cooking really isn't hard for the most part and eventually you'll get to the point where you won't adhere to recipes anymore because you innately know what to do.

Recipes are just a guide, you shouldn’t blindly follow them because for example every oven is different so 30 minutes at a said temperature could be to much or too little for your oven, etc..

You should buy a digital thermometer like this: https://www.amazon.com/ThermoPro-Thermometer-Accurate-Grilling-Backlight/dp/B07MF18JHT/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?

Don’t follow the time but the internal temperature of the meat, so you won’t end with under/overcooked meat. Everything is under control.

Also stick to making dishes you know and can taste at the restaurant, don’t be that guy who cook Italian dishes the American way and pretends to know the thing. Be humble and eat outside.

That's retarded anon, most places aren't gonna teach you to cook good eggs.

You can go literally YEARS in a professional kitchen without ever having just cooked a plain standard egg dish.

Why are you talking about eggs? Go work in a hipster brunch restaurant then.

Only after 5-8 years. I fucking hate cooking now and don't even like to tell people my experience (Michelin rated kitchens) because they volunteer me to cook.

You'll hate cooking for other people for a while, but then just do it out of habit eventually.

It's not lies.

If you want to learn to cook going to cooking classes or real culinary school is FAR more productive than working at a restaurant, unless you plan at working in a professional kitchen for the rest of your working life.

The worst cooks I've ever known were culinary school kids. Completely fucking useless. They think professional kitchens are like Alton brown shows.

Working as a stagiaire in a real kitchen is like culinary school on PCP. Best way to learn.

This nigga isn't asking how to be a 4 or 5 star chef.

If you have no interest working in the culinary industry, but still want to know how to cook really well for yourself at home, i would NOT recommend working in a professional kitchen.

My opinion is that mentorship is really the only way to learn though. There is a reason why it's called an art.

You're the dumb faggot that claimed that school is the only option, and insinuated that anons wouldn't be able to properly cook an egg after 8 years of cooking in a restaurant.
Here's the pros
School

Restaurant
