Cuisine of the month:
or any idea of places online for my situation?
I'd just get some basic cookbook and start doing it. Also cooking shows really do help, I used to watch them and still do. Nigella was my gal back in years when I was still new to cooking. YT has so many cooking videos.
You will learn to cook by cooking. This might sound obvious and could be bad advice, easy for me to say as I started cooking very young and really enjoy it.
But I've burnt stuff, ruined things, failed and still sometimes do. You will however develop the skill as you go. Choose a recipe, follow it the best you can and repeat. Recipes for just basic everyday foods will go far, I used to cook from an old "housewifes cooking" type of book that just existed in our home when I was a kid and there was also other cook books and recipes passed down from grandmothers etc. When I would hit a wall, I'd call my grandma to ask for advice, so you could also just ask someone to teach you for real. People usually love to do it or love to cook together. Promise to chop the veggies for a friend and ask them to teach you how to make something they make that you really like. Ask for a written recipe and go for it.
Also tasting the food as you go is the best cheffy tip I ever learnt.
Basic everyday food recipes should be a few core ingredients and fairly straightforward. If it looks complex and has a ton of stuff, skip those for now. Over time you won't need recipes at all anymore.
