I love cooking, but because my mom is too much of a bimbo and my dad too much of a “manly man” to ever step into the kitchen, I never had the chance to learn from them. I grew up on delivery, takeout, eating out, and the incredible food made by the amazing woman who cooks for our family. I became deeply interested in cooking at the start of my teenage years and taught myself through the internet, books, that same woman, and other relatives.

      Americas Test Kitchen, Cooks Country, and Milk Street are great explainers for beginners and intermediates. Rick Bayless might be in there for some good Mexican. For a bit more upscale and the OGs of TV cooking shows, Julia Childs is probably in there and Jacques Pepin is also probably in there.
