Cooking Is A Skill That Everyone Should Learn The Basics Of
Don’t overthink it—just pick one simple recipe (think scrambled eggs, pasta, or a stir-fry) and gather the ingredients. Start with basic tools: a knife, cutting board, and a pan. Follow the steps exactly the first time (no improvising yet!), taste as you go, and embrace the mess. Every pro chef burned their first dish—yours might too, and that’s okay. The secret? Keep trying. Soon, you’ll crave the sizzle of onions in the pan like a cooking ASMR. 🍳
Cooking isn’t just about filling your stomach—it’s a superpower that transforms your health, wallet, and happiness. Here’s why it matters:
Health Control → Skip hidden sugars, processed junk, and questionable takeout oils. You decide what goes in your body.
Money Saver → A homemade meal costs half what you’d pay for delivery. (That’s more cash for avocado toast.)
Stress Relief → Chopping veggies = cheaper than therapy. The sizzle of garlic in butter? Pure serotonin.
Creativity Boost → No rules! Swap ingredients, tweak flavors, and play with fire (safely, please).
Connection Maker → Shared meals = stronger relationships. Grandma’s recipes? Priceless heirlooms.
Survival Skill → Zombie apocalypse? You’ll be the hero who can turn canned beans into gourmet feasts.
Confidence Builder → Nailing a dish from scratch? That’s a personal win no one can take from you.
Bottom Line: Cooking is self-care with flavor. Start small—even toast counts. 🔥
You don’t need a culinary degree—just a pan, hunger, and a willingness to fail gloriously. Here’s how to start:
1. Steal Like an Artist
Watch 5-minute YouTube tutorials (try Basics with Babish or Jamie Oliver’s 5-Ingredient Meals).
Copy one simple recipe weekly (e.g., scrambled eggs → pasta → stir-fry).
2. Arm Yourself Cheaply
Starter Kit: One sharp knife, cutting board, nonstick pan, and pot.
Pantry MVP’s: Olive oil, salt, garlic, eggs, rice, canned tomatoes.
3. Learn These 5 Skills First
Knife skills (dice an onion without crying much).
How to salt properly (the difference between “meh” and “WOW”).
Sautéing garlic (burn it once, never again).
Cooking pasta al dente (bite it like a shark testing prey).
Scrambling eggs (low heat + patience = creamy, not rubbery).
4. Screw Up Often
Burnt the grilled cheese? Congrats—you’ve unlocked “crunchy edition.”
Oversalted the soup? Toss in a potato to absorb it. Hacks > perfection.
5. Taste Everything
Raw dough? Taste it. Sauce simmering? Taste it. Your tongue is your best teacher.
6. Cook for Someone (Even If It’s Your Cat)
Accountability = progress. No one turns down free food, even if it’s ugly.
Pro Tip: Start with “template recipes” (e.g., stir-fry = protein + veg + sauce + heat). Mix and match!
