Start small by making pasta and experiment with making sauces. Once you know the main ingredients you can just build them up from there. Pasta isn't as boring when you have different sauces.
Look for recipes for beginners, maybe buy a cook book with things that interest you.
Cooking isn't hard, you just have to put in some time to learn the basics and after that it's easy, especially with so many recipes out there.
Something easy would be making pancakes yourself for example, you won't have to buy the shitty tubed pancake batter anymore.
Idk, shit like that.
Pizza is easy to make as well. Just need a recipe for the dough and that's it. Put on it whatever you want, make a tomato sauce, put cheese on top and that's it.

i actually have been here too much that i've read this as cock.
Wait, what are you doing in my board go to /ck/ and line up with McDonald's threads

Cooking isn't particularly difficult, user. It just takes practice to cook well
Landon Cook
Go vegan. Do it nao.

The best step is to jump right in.
Some tips right off the bat:
1. Clean work space, holy shit you don't know how important that is until you don't have it. Hair and debris getting in the food is gross and demotivating. Wipe everything down and clean as you go. It sounds obvious but it really is important (mil and fil are borderline hoarders and cooking for them is a nightmare)
2. Start by making recipes you already know (homemade mac and cheese for example) so you can gage how well you made it, how it's supposed to taste, etc.
3. Watch tutorials and cooking shows. You can learn a lot on techniques (how to saute, cutting techniques, etc.)
Also, as gay as it sounds, pinterest. Gather up a bunch of recipes, have fun with it.
Hope this helps, user .

shit, also don't wing it with ingredients when you're first starting

Cooking is the easiest thing on the planet. Especially when you are a man of simple and natural tastes.
Just put a steak in the pan for a couple minutes, flip it two or three times, steam some vegetables on the other burner, bing bang boom you have now become master chef. I don't even season my food, I just make it hot.

Evan Barnes
>thinking you're special or eating plain boring food
Daniel Thomas
>not using spices to enhance the flavors
What did he mean by this?
Zachary Turner
I never said I was. I'm glad you think I'm special though. Remember that you can always strive to be more like me, nothing is holding you back. We are both humans in the world.
Eli King
Nah. Humans season their food, dirty animals don't (for the most part)
Cameron Cook
Humans do a lot of things, few are virtuous. Take the ascetic pill, my friend.
Jayden Peterson
>Implying spices aren't harvested in the same way vegetables are
By your logic, any meal you make with more than one ingredient is such an offense. That bite of carrot you took before that bite of chicken influences that bite of chicken. What, was the chicken not good enough? You had to add carrot to it?
Jonathan Perez
>he puts more than one bite in his mouth at once
Are you some kind of barbarian? Did your parents fail to teach you simple table manners?
Leo Green
If you're going to cook for other people, keep presentation in mind. No one will want to eat it if it tastes good but looks like shit.

My man, cooking is great.
If you are willing to spend time learning, go for it. It is fascinating and rewards you so much.
Baking will bring you friends
Good cooking will bring you respect.
Start slow, just take simple recipe.
Try cookies, nothing simpler than that to bake.
As for easy cooking, try some stir fry.
Cook all your ingredients separately and the secret is to cook them on high heat. Don't move them around. Be patient.
At least 3min before you stir them.
You need to give them that nice golden colour and your vegies must stay a bit crunchy.
Cooking is a pleasur.
Pour yourself some wine, put a good playlist,find a good and simple recipe and follow all the instructions precisely.
I started like that and now I can cook like 10 differant dishes without any recipe, and like 5 differant dessert.
You will be amazed at how good and tasty your dishes can be.
You won't waste money eating out.
You will find a new respect in farmers and in good products.
And you will have the satisfaction to know what you put in your body.
You are on the right path !

I'd say from level 1-15 you should be cooking shrimp, then from 15-25 trout, 25-35 salmon Levels 35-50 Tuna, Levels 50-75 Lobster Levels 68-99 Jug of wine
you're gonna be training for a while user so keep at it

Imagine if this guy made a salad
>yo, that's not a salad, it's just a bowl of lettuce
>that's fine, a little salad dressing and plain lettuce is fine
no dressing
>wut?
>have to add (((dressing))) instead of showing proper respect to that which has been harvested for you consumption
Isaiah Johnson
>Implying there's absolutely no trace of what you put in your mouth from the bite before
Also, you dragged Varg into this, when his philosophy as it would pertain to food is centered around using native/regional resources, not "I can't let my peas and mashed potatoes touch". It's Odalism, not Autism.
Jaxon Hernandez
I unironically don't use dressing. I just eat spinach. Dressing is awful for you.
Cameron Ortiz

>Add spices

jugs of wine are for rich people. i dont remember a lot from rs but there is a point after 80 (i think its 90, to be perfectly honest i don't care enough too google) that you stop burning sharks with cooking gauntlets so they are the best xp/price efficiency option.
Christopher Adams
>I'll use my "appeal to your reaction image" card!
I don't see how Varg's philosophy and my own conflict. He just needs to take the ascetic pill as I have.
Adrian Price
>Dressing is awful for you.
Only if you're pouring on a gallon of ranch or cheese dressing
>touch of oil. Touch of vinegar. Fresh pepper. Hint of coarse salt. Good to go
Parker Collins
Oh you guys. I've been away for a really long time...came back to this as my first thread in years. Those pointless yet witty, confused yet weirdly enough well structured exchanges.
I got my fix. Now pick up those sporks and duel!! Winner gets to eat the looser. With or without spices. There is no answer, there is only entertainment.
Aaaaand....GO!

Got that from a single reaction image, did you?

Start by following recipes to the letter. After some experience you will be able to improvise on your own.

Yes im gonna cook a whole duck for tonight. Its traditional Morten's evening in denmark
Nolan Gomez
Duck is the best poultry, I don't know why it's so unpopular here in Americuck compared to chicken and turkey.
Tyler Ramirez
Basics with babish playlists are pretty comfy

Brayden Martin
It really is. Not sure why it didn't catch on either. Same goes for rabbit, considering how quickly they're raised and how much meat they have on them.
That said, wild duck is very different from domesticated ducks you'll find at butcher shops. The meat is very dark, to the point where it's as dark as beef. There is very, very little fat on late season ducks due to their fat stores being used up during migration. This does make cooking them a bit finicky if you don't know how to work with such lean meat.

Learn to cook a fried egg to your liking. You'll fuck up dozens of eggs, but once you get it right you'll have a skill for life. Remember to use oil.
