Cuisine of the month:
or any idea of places online for my situation?
Stick with breakfast items and following the instructions. Go buy the Test Kitchen Cook book.
Cooking is easy man. Just follow the recipes.
Cooking is NOT easy and most recipes are frankly bad or lazy and expect you to have a certain skill level. If you don't know enough already to know how to vet which ones are good then it's going to be difficult and overwhelming.
I agree that breakfast items are a good starting place, but please don't try to downplay how much knowledge and work goes into making successful dish. That's just going to lead to frustration.
Maybe don't put down and call someone genuinely asking for help a moron???
I'm glad it's a skill that's come easy to you. Not everyone has had your experiences though and not everyone was taught the basics. Fuck off with that attitude when someone is just trying to better themself.
And actually follow them. Recipes are literal. If it asks to use sea salt, you have to use sea salt. If it says 1 cup of sugar, it means one cup of sugar and you don't cut all the ingredients in half thinking the recipe will be the same, only smaller. If it says to bake, you don't try and grill it. Too many people think they can alter a recipe when they don't have an ingredient or the equipment. If that's the case, look for a different recipe.
The more you cook, the better you'll get at understanding the chemical process and will be able to alter recipes.
