[quote=Anonymous]This is the PP who posted about stew, and then another poster asked how I learned to cook. I've always cooked, since I was a kid, so I never had the feeling of having to learn. I always had enough confidence to just give it a whirl, and that is the key to cooking, I think. But here are a few things:

Forget recipes. Instead, think techniques. Look up how to roast veggies. Apply that to ANY veggie. It'll be fine. Learn how to make something you like quickly and without a recipe, then make it twice a week until you never have to think of it again. I do biscuits and home made pasta this way - my family loves them, and either one is on the table in half an hour, start to finish.

For the love of god, don't peel anything. Mashed potatoes with peels are fine. So are carrots.

Cook without books. Recipes are often too complicated and long for week night dinner. Do things that don't need them, like chili, stir fry, roasted veggies and chicken or beef, tacos.

Give those teens a night a week to make dinner. They need to know how to feed themselves!
