hiiiiii communists who live in my pc, do any of you know how to cook?
i don't. at all. a few days ago my roommate taught me how to scramble an egg, and i had never had broccoli or cauliflower or (most other vegetables 🙃) until he let me try some of his, so that's approximately where i'm at with food knowledge. given that i'm clueless and live with several people in a completely open plan house, i try to avoid cooking anyway because i'm constantly being watched in the kitchen and people are making their little comments. BUT work is sending me traveling so i have a kitchen all to myself for 2 weeks and an affordable supermarket about 10 minutes walk away. i plan to use this time to try to learn a bit <3
the only problem is that i have absolutely no clue where to start. i can make rice and boil pasta and that's about it. do any of you have recipes that are accessible for a noob and will help me grind my skill up? 
or any idea of places online for my situation?
i have no dietary restrictions and i'm open to trying pretty much anything once. i'm just confused and every recipe i click on online seems to be some artisan shit that needs 2 hours and tools and ingredients i've never heard of
Follow recipes exactly as they say. If you don't have an exact ingredient or piece of equipment, look for a different recipe.
When scooping up flour, don't "pack" it by tapping the side of the cup. You want air to remain and for it to be fluffy. If you pack it by trying to shake it so more flour goes into the cup, you'll be adding too much flour.
Low heat and time are your friend. Cooking something on high heat will burn the outside while leaving the inside cold. Some recipes will want you to do that. But when it says "low heat," it means you have to cook it on low heat so the food is heated all the way through. If a recipe says to bake something for 20 minutes at 200°, you can't bake it for 10 minutes at 400°.
Start with simple dishes with maybe four or five ingredients tops. Stuff like pasta or soup is a good place to start. Maybe learn to grill veggies one type at a time.
As far as nutrients goes, microwaving will maintain the most nutrients of the food because it's not actually burning anything away. It won't always taste good, however. Boiling will take out the most nutrients because they get soaked up by the water, which is often tossed out or turned into broth that isn't eaten. Baking, grilling, broiling, etc. are on a spectrum between these two. The more the food is burned/charred/fried/whatever, the more nutrients are cooked off. If you're counting calories, keep this in mind, especially if you're trying to bulk up or gain weight.
