It would seem, well, what is difficult in cooking? Cut smaller and cook longer. But if everything is so simple, why do people give so much money for dishes prepared by the famous fashionable chef? Or why do they go to culinary courses and put up with the company of an unbearably boring friend just because he cooks indescribably delicious kebabs? If the fame of Yulia Vysotskaya haunts you, then it's time to learn how to cook.
Instructions
Step 1
Start with the simplest. All the great chefs started with sandwiches and scrambled eggs, and did not immediately start with rabbit fricassee in white wine. Think back to how you learned to write. At first, they diligently took out sticks and circles in the copybooks, and then they scribbled love notes in beautiful handwriting. Study the recipes carefully, and if any actions cause you doubts and questions, then put the recipe aside. You will still have the opportunity to return to it when you improve your skills.
Step 2
Get yourself beautiful kitchen utensils and useful appliances that make life easier for the hostess. Just don't overdo it. The most sophisticated food processor, a set of 24 knives and an expensive rice cooker - things may be necessary, but you will rarely use them. A good saucepan, cast iron skillet, a couple of sharp knives, a grater and a whisk will be enough at first. Your kitchen should be light, cozy and comfortable. And don't forget the cute apron with pockets.
Step 3
Do everything according to plan. Before you start cooking, think over all your steps, you can even write down a sequence of actions on paper. You need to know exactly when you will peel the vegetables, and when to fry the meat and whether you have time to prepare the side dish in time so that the main dish does not cool down.
Step 4
Hone your craft. After the first few experiments in the kitchen, you will be able to determine what you do best: fish dishes, baked goods or complex salads. You don't have to be able to cook a hundred varieties of pizza, spin rolls like a Japanese chef, and bake pancakes tastier than your grandmother's. The ability to cook three or four signature dishes wonderfully will bring you the glory of an excellent culinary specialist in the circle of your loved ones.
Step 5
Improve yourself. After you have gained experience, have been able to enjoy the process of cooking and have received sincere compliments for your masterpieces in the kitchen, it's time to start improvising. Try changing recipes, adding new ingredients, and creating unusual food combinations. And then you will begin to understand why cooking is a real art, and a talented chef is an artist, artisan and soul healer all rolled into one.
