[quote=Anonymous]OP, you actually sound pretty proficient and like you can follow a recipe. That's a great start, and for that reason , I specifically *don't* recommend cookbooks as they aren't working for you. You could consider one if it has good reading sections, but just following the recipes is not enough. I recommend cook's illustrated. A bit unorthodox sometimes but it really explains how a dish is constructed. You should, however, collect several cookbooks and websites you trust. Then take a look at recipes on each for the same thing. Try a simple fish recipe. Maybe a beef stew. Find recipes that are similar and yet a bit different. What changes and what stays the same ? Look at 3 chicken stir fry recipes. Start to understand what the possibilities are. Even make them and compare how they turn out. Oh, and you sound great! I predict you being back here in 2 years' time helping others. [/quote]
