People here will tell you yes to your second question, but without proper guidance, you are bound to make some inedible mistakes.

As your standards grow, so will your expectations. You'll throw out (or at least scoff at) perfectly edible food because it's not "good enough".

Like magic, knowing the secret takes the fun away. No one wants to see how the sausage is made.

It never gets easier. It's like a drug, but instead, your intolerance grows bit by bit.

I used to love eating food, now I just love cooking it. I like to see the smiles on people's faces. Your average person burns food, over-seasons it, or just plain mangles it. I love when I can ask "is this your card?" in food terms. They really think you've turned water into wine.

Jut start watching cooking shows, and implement the spices they use into yours. Once you learn the basics of herbs and spices, you can then work on HOW you cook your food, whether it be pan frying, baking, grilling, broiling, etc, etc.

Everyone starts somewhere.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>I want to learn how to cook
Awesome. It's a useful skill, it can be really fun, plus you get to make delicious food whenever and however you want.

>Any advice?
Start with recipes. Think of foods you like to eat, find recipes to make them, and follow them. Once you've done this for a while you'll start to pick up the basics and it will come easier, then you can start making up your own stuff, starting with variations on recipes you have or know.

Basic advice I can offer without any further knowledge:
Find a video that teaches you how to cut/chop and learn to do it right. Saves a lot of time and you get better results if everything is the same size.
Before you cook anything in a pan or oven, unless expressly told otherwise, heat it (and the oil in the pan, generally you don't cook in a pan without oil to transfer the heat evenly to the food but there are exceptions) to the temperature you want to cook at. BEFORE you put anything in.
To start out with, find videos/cooking shows or at least recipes with step-by-step pictures to physically show you what you should be doing, it'll make learning easier to start with if you can check if what you have looks right.
Add salt (even if it's just a little) to everything. A small amount of salt won't taste like salt but will make all the other flavors more pronounced and will help blend flavors together better. Start with a small amount and add more if needed.
Put A LOT of salt in pasta water. It should taste like sea water. This seasons the pasta as it cooks, it makes a huge difference.
