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 ๐Ÿ™ƒ) 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? gamer-gulag 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

One of my favorite meals because its so easy is what I call scraps.

Sausage scraps: Sausage Onions Whatever frozen veggies are in the freezer Some type of bean

Throw it all the pan (you do need to know when to put what in so you don't end up with undercooked sausage and burnt onions) and cook it hard. Throw some cheese and mix it in. Serve it over rice.

Replace sausage with anything, eggplant, tofu, zucchini. It's all scraps and the leftovers go great in ramen.

Also make sure you season your rice. Too many people just throw rice and water in a pot, throw some salt and cumin in there.
