I agree with the other posters, practice is essential. You weren't able to start walking or talking without practice.My mother wasn't a great cook, so I'm pretty much self taught by trial and error!

When I first started cooking, I burnt sausages so badly you could write with them. Cakes were either burnt or raw on the inside. I made a cheese sauce that you could tarmac roads with! Now I make pretty much everything and don't think twice about it.

As you make more food at home, your tastes will change away from the heavily salted ready food that blights the supermarket shelves. Prepare for a few more disasters in the kitchen before it all falls into place. This is entirely normal and you are by no means a bad cook, just one in training.

Love it :rotfl:

OP - Lots of good suggestions from people esp watching I Can Cook on CBeeb!es - my children watch it and there are some delish and very simple recipes on there. Also, a children't cook book would be a great way to start and progress from there.

Everybody learns through experience... I remember one culinary disaster I had when first making spag bol soon after I had left home... Having seen my mother add sugar to the sauce, I did the same _pale_ I realise now that it is to counter balance the acidity of the tomatoes and I prefer to use a small amount of bicarb instead. Anyway, can you imagine a sweet version of spag bol - totally inedible and went in the bin :rotfl:

Stick with it, you will get there
