It's a very rewarding thing to learn. It's one of the things I actually enjoy AI assistants for too, very helpful.

I always said, i am willing to eat almost anything as long as i have a real chef that takes their shit seriously.
I’m still learning, but compared to most women I know, I suck
My greatest victory was learning how to make my own good sauces, after that everything tastes good. Bechamel, wine reduction, a bone stock, and a good tomato sauce go a long way to be able to make anything taste good.
What’s the best sauce that will go with anything?
Pretty hard to go wrong with bechamel, white sauce. It's a good base to add any flavor you want to. Probably the one I start with the most.
It really depends on what you're cooking and what your tastes are though. Food isn't a one size fits all thing, it's very subjective.
And you post notes about pickle sandwiches?? Why are you holding back, sir?
Too busy cooking tasty meals 😂
I have put a couple recipes on zap.cooking, but honestly I'm more of a "just throw things in the pot/pan" kind of cook. It's not exact like a recipe. Vibe cooking I guess.
And pb&p sammies are a delicacy 😋
It takes at least a half decade of research and experimentation for a homemaker to become the revered motherly chef. Being a nostrich places you on firm footing.
Yeah and my mom didn’t really cook when I was growing up so the kids that were in the kitchen learning and helping got a huge head start 🫂
I always tell people starting out to watch Jacques Pepin's fundamentals of cooking he did for WGN in the early 90's.

I ate pre packaged crap until 30 years old. I was a good cook at around 35. The math checks out.
My dearest puts food in the oven while its still preheating. Your not alone
You’re not supposed to do that? 😄 why can’t you preheat the food?
“Pre heat” is when the ovens on bake & broil at the same time to get the temp up as quick as possible. You won't cook food you will char it at 180
Comparison = the thief of joy. ☠️
