Learning to cook takes practice. Pick up cookbooks and read them through. Pay attention to what spices are usually paired together. Pay attention to the usual amounts used. Look up unfamiliar terms. Follow a recipe closely the first time you make it and then figure out what you might do differently, if anything, the next time. When you taste food, really taste it--try to guess what spices were used, how it was cooked.

Good luck, happy cooking!
