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

Seconding the mixes. Nowadays you can get em for stuff like Indian and Cajun rice dishes, a lot are vegan or easily modified to be vegan too. Just add protein and rice, maybe some veggies if you're feeling fancy lol.
You can also do this with baking, there are a good number of desserts and even stuff like cornbread where you usually only need to add eggs/egg substitute and oil. Easy and tasty, if a little unhealthy.
