i need to learn how to cook. and i don't know where to start.
i know how to make a few things - roasts, Sunday gravy (meatballs, bracciole, pork, etc.) but i just **** at the everyday stuff. I mean REALLY **** -like the food comes out bad.
I get cookbooks and somehow i just go all wrong. any advice? anybody else have this problem? also - how do you fit it in after work? I get to work at 8 and get home around 7...It's almost impossible I think - but we cannot eat out so much! We cook together on Sundays and eat that for a couple of days - then it's ordering in chinese, out for sushi , and out for dinners on weekends. I need to start making meals for during the week!
Don't know where to begin......
