Basic cooking.

You don't need to be Gordon Ramsey, but in a pinch, know how to make pasta, chilli and a few other things.

    Is chilli considered basic? Spicy food is not that common where I live. For me the basics would be to know how to:

    -Peel and cut veggies

    -Boil stuff

    -Fry eggs

    But maybe it's a cultural thing! I'm interested in knowing what you're doing with your chilli peppers ;)

    Basic chili recipe (people from texas can bite their tongue for five minutes one time):

    • beans
    • tomatoes
    • onions
    • peppers

    A little bit of cumin and salt to taste and you actually don’t need anything else to get something that is recognizable as chili.

    I add all sorts of other stuff, but that’s the basics.
