Book one starts with eggs - how to poach, boil, fry them, then how to use them in basic recipes like omelettes and scrambled egg, then ramps up in complexity slowly again.
They’re super basic, super easy to follow, and I still run and get them sometimes when I want something to be perfect and need to jog my memory.
Another, more expensive but delicious method, is to order food from hello fresh (you can get a trial membership with heavy discounts at the start).
They send you all the ingredients you need, already weighed and in little bags, all you have to do is follow the instructions they’ve sent you using the ingredients in the bag.
Really good way to get used to making a variety of meals you like, as you don’t need to worry about if you’ve bought the right ingredients.
I cancelled my membership as A) it worked out too expensive, and B) I didn’t have time or energy to prepare a meal every day of the week! But the food was great and opened some culinary doors in my brain.
Definitely worth a trial and then note down the ingredients you used in your favourite meals for the future when you want to make it again.
Delia Smith’s “How to cook” series of books were an absolute godsend when I first moved into a house by myself.
Here’s a UK link so you can see how it looks.
