>>12256574While I'm no expert, I do believe I have some helpful advice. For me at least, cooking is all about confidence. Once you get used to it, no recipe really seems too hard. It can feel nerve-wracking at first, but its important to keep on trying. Stick with the little things first, like frying an egg, and do them until you feel comfortable with your own skill. Then expand, try different cooking methods (frying can be especially scary at first) or things out of your comfort zone. Do them until you feel confident in yourself. Practice/repetition is everything. One example I like to bring up sometimes is cooking instant ramen when you're a little kid. It's super scary at first, but as you grow up and make it over and over it becomes routine and eventually you can do it with minimal thought and effort. Its the same idea when you're making other food. If you want to cook as a hobby, start with the food you know you like. Its better when you're first starting out to make something you'll enjoy as a reward for your effort. I hope this is helpful and I wish you good luck in with your cooking!
