Libraries might offer a cooking class as well. I think knowing why you enjoy the food you do goes a long way in learning to cook. For instance- if your favorite food is shepherds pie? Then learn to make a perfect shepherds pie. Mastering the processes of that dish (cutting and sautéing vegetables, browning meat, adjusting seasoning to taste, making mashed potatoes) will give you a good base for expanding upon. +1 for YouTube and an older Joy of Cooking book. I use youtube more often than the book. but it’s still a very good resource. +1 for a good knife and good cast iron skillet +1 for marriage not equating to meals on the tableIf you’re doing a lot of wild meat or homesteading type stuff- <a href="http://www.honest-food.net" target="_blank">www.honest-food.net</a> is pretty useful. That dude and his wife grow/kill/catch/cook all their food. It’s a lot of trial and error though. Don’t be scared to make and eat something bad.</blockquote>
