Isn't this one super obvious? It's just roasted veggies with some sesame oil and gojuchang, served with kimchi. Do people really need instructions on how to pair roasted veg with a dollop of gojuchang? [/quote]

Yes, I do. I am a terrible cook. My parents worked full time and cooked only processed foods. I learned to cook as an adult, then my kids got allergies and most of my new recipes don’t work, so I have to learn how to cook all over again. I need everything spelled out for me like I’m five. I absolutely hate it. [/quote]

Ahhh gotcha.  I wish you the best of luck PP on your cooking journey.

But I still feel like the NYT cooking is usually for slightly more serious cooks?  So they should maybe up the ante and go beyond those "beginner" levels[/quote]

Yes, but

1. I like tasty food, too.
2. My kids will learn cooking from me. Is like to have better recipes to teach them.
3. DH hates, hates, hates monotonous recipes. The obvious solution would be to have him cook, but then he wouldn’t get to spend time with the kids. I work less than 20 hours a week, so it makes sense for me to cook. I just loathe the process of trying new recipes and having them fail. [/quote]

I really don’t think NYTimes is your best bet.  There’s a lot of recipes and they aren’t all well tested — many are glitchy or not very good.  You’re better off with americas test kitchen (although they use a lot of weird ingexiebts which is irritating) or a good blog like Smitten Kitchen or Once Upon a Chef — their stuff is really solid and they typically also have videos.  Stuff like Mark Bittmans cookbook and there are some others will also serve you better than NYTimes online.  [/quote]

Once Upon a Chef is so so good! Some of our best family favorites came from her![/quote]
