Thread: OT - Cooking.

There are two cookbooks that I would recommend to you; Betty Crocker: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today The Joy of Cooking These both explain things very thoroughly, and are great for beginners.? Good luck.

You can go to www.Campbells.com , they have some great (easy) recipes to start with. I would also recommend a crockpot. You can pretty much cook anything in those. There are great recipes on the boards here too. Do you have the Food Network? My husband learned to cook that way, and he's great at it now!?

I was going to recommend the Joy of Cooking also.? It is a great reference and how to manual.? For recipes I like to go to online sites and find recipes that have good ratings and reviews? allrecipes.com? and cooks.com are a couple I use.?

I swear by the weight watcher cook books!? The recipes are good an healthy!

Get yourself a slow cooker. Toss in some meat and veggies in the morning and it will be ready by dinner time.? ?

The Joy of Cooking....awesome cookbook, thousands of recipies. Great for anyone, especially someone just learning. I learned by finding recipies and making them. Sometimes it's a hit sometimes it's a major miss...lol

i have no idea how to cook. it's a life skill that i should probably learn because if i don't have fast food, or ramen noodles, i'm screwed. plus, i'd really like to be the kind of mom that cooks for my family every night :) the only problem is, i have no idea how! soo, how'd you learn to cook? are there any easy/beginner recipe books you recommend? this probably seems ridiculous, but seriously i barely know how to...

Kraft.com also has some simple and quick recipes!!?

This site is awesome... step by step instructions with PICTURES! http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/category/all-pw-recipes/

I second? Betty Crocker: Everything You Need to Know to Cook Today. Such a great book that I use on a regular basis!
