How do I get into cooking Veeky Forums? I just moved into my first apartment and it's barely stocked, I also have only very basic cooking skills. What are some good, cheap, and easy foods that I can make for practice?

What's with people injuring themselves while cutting avocados? My wife's mom stabbed through her hand cutting an avocado, and my wife sliced her hand too. I always hold my avocado and have never stabbed myself. I don't get it

White people aren't used to food that has recognizable skin, pits, bones, eyes, etc.

They see it and they get all overzealous and go "oh, I'm a cave man now rrawwwr!" and they attack the unfamiliar thing with their tactical black anodized EDC liner lock assisted opening wharncliffe tanto drop point paracord wrapped pocket sword.

Being accustomed to only cutting things like the packing tape on their Amazon Prime boxes, they misjudge the target and usually end up hurting themselves.

Then when they get back from the emergency room they tuck into a comforting familiar MRE and wait for the shit to hit the fan and civilization to collapse so they can finally be a winner.

Back on topic ladies

fuck, you got me

Everything is easy. It's getting multiple things ready at the same time that's difficult.

This is a pretty good cookbook for beginners. A bit junky by my standards. It's on the bay if you want to torrent a copy. Otherwise just watch cooking youtubes, look up recipes for what you want, make it happen. When you're more experiences, you'll know whether a recipe is poodoo.

>What are some good, cheap, and easy foods that I can make for practice?

What do you like to eat? Scrambled eggs are basic, but take a little practice. I like steamed vegetables, so you'd peel and cut them and then steam them. And saute some onions and mushrooms. Chopping onions is basic and useful. You have a knife? Is it sharp?

Preparing salad is easy and basic. Steam some eggs rather than hard boil them by boiling, put a steamer insert in a pot with boiling water on high heat, add eggs, steam for 12 minutes. Great on salads.

Pancakes are easy and fun to make. Make some sandwiches with tomatoes and onions and lettuce and some kind of meat. Own a mandolin? They're unsurpassed for super-thin, uniform slices of onion and perfectly shaved lettuce. Use a bread knife for tomatoes. Works great.

Get some chicken thighs and figure out how to cook them. Much more flavor than breasts.

Own any spices? Salt and pepper are obvious.

Think about what you want to eat in any given day. If you are all about getting those 3 squares each and every day start with 2 dozen eggs, 10lbs of Jasmine Rice and Quinoa, IQF Chicken Breasts, 0.5-1 lbs of Ground beef, 2L of Milk, and then produce is your pick of the litter but bananas have a lot of benefit, utility, and cost effectiveness towards your diet so they are a good start as well. If you want to make your own baked goods obviously buy a couple pounds of flour and baking powder/soda. When it comes to cooking all of these things if you have a grill, grill when you can because it's the bomb, but baking and sauteing with olive oil will be just as good to get practice with. Form each meal into 3 different parts, starch, protein, and produce, eat slow when you can leaving about 20-30 mins for masticating and digestion and stop when you start to feel full and save leftovers for next days lunch.

That's all I have off the top of my head.
