Like where can i start if im not good at cooking? how do i decide what i want to attempt to make aswell? i dont want to spend to much to begin but is there also a low cost way to start by chance?
Im keeping this brief but if you have a question for me leave a comment?
Cookbooks are a great option if you have a bit of time and like reading. I started out this way, simply reading books and watching YouTube for fun. I’ve found many books at my local bookstore and thrift shops for very cheap (like $1 - $10). I would keep an eye out for these specifically, especially older editions that are cheaper:
The Professional Chef, Culinary Institute of America
Professional Baking, Wayne Gisslen
What’s a Chef to Do?, Anthony Bourdain
Gear, Alton Brown
On Food and Cooking, Harold McGee
Basics with Babish, Andrew Rea
The Flavor Matrix, James Briscone
The Flavor Equation, Nik Sharma
All of these go over essential principles and skills that every cook needs; if you read and understood even just one or two of these cover to cover, you could easily master cooking essentials in just a couple days/weeks accompanied with some practice
