Cool site. This is great for learning a few meals and techniques, as well as building confidence. If you build a sequential set of recipes to follow, you can do something like the below:
The important part of learning cooking is to know how each dish is similar and the definition that makes a dish different. You don't learn each dish, you learn the dependencies. Once you can do this, anything you taste in a restaurant can be successfully recreated in the home, equipment dependent.
For learning cooking, I always recommend watching the old Julia Child shows and actually cooking the food. The thing missing is an easy to hard sequence and learning a few extra sauces.
I have forkforkspoon.com parked to be used in a future food idea. I should have done something like this, since I am an engineer and a 'chef', but I feel like I am waiting for something too perfect....someday never comes.
