I'm so un-domestic. I can't cook at all.

 

I'd be glad to let you practice cooking sausage.:naughty:

 

:hahano:

I have a desire to learn how to cook, but I don't have the motivation.

 

Look up some recipes and follow, have some chinese ready as backup in case it taste gross

 

I just get frustrated with the amount of ingredients everything requires. Since I don't really cook now, my kitchen isn't stocked with "essentials". I have baking essentials, but not much for cooking.

 

It's not really that hard to do just have to figure out what flavors compliment each other especially using spices and herbs. Cooking times are fairly generic, things like sauteeing or brazing take a few times to get down but not impossible, glazes are simple and knowing when to apply them is easy stuff.

Look for a cookbook called "The Joy of Cooking" it has a lot of traditional recipes and prep procedures in it and is a staple for any good kitchen to have on hand.

 

I probably have that book....my hubbys' grandma gave me about 100 (not really) cookbooks when we bought our house. I didn't want to burst her bubble by explaining I don't cook so I took the books and they've been in my cabinet ever since.

 

I have that book John h:

 

Well just pick one meal to make a week, say on a weekend and get the ingredients together ahead of time. then just spend some time making it kind of as a treat of sorts while you learn.

Some will work out better than others but over time you will be comfortable with it and it gets both easier and bettter tasting.

 

I like that idea
