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

I have found that watching ppl cook in a video format helps me learn more about cooking vs reading about it. I have used tiktok for this. Bookmark the videos for later, but sometimes videos are deleted so if you find something you want to try, I recommend saving it somehow.

I use deepseek to put together recipes if I need a specific measurement ie: I can take my ingredients and ask it to configure the portions in a way that makes sense to me, like if I want to make banana bread and have three bananas (add other specific ingredients like cinnamon, shredded carrots, whiskey, etc) I can enter that and it will give me the correct ratio.
