Answer 2

If you want to learn then experimant. start with ingredients you know, and start simple. read cookbooks and or watch cooking shows. if you've tried many times and are still hopeless in the kitchen. take a look in a campbell's cookbook or internet site. I am a great cook come from italian background learned lots from my mom and eventually learned lots on my own, there was no way I was gonna cook from a can... but seriously campbells has delicious no-fail recipes, take a look.

even kraft foods has great recipes...

Make some Ramen Noodles!

You can cook them stovetop or buy them in a cup :) yumyum

I like to add some roasted seaweed from the Asian Market for extra flavor, and then eat it with chopsticks to make it feel like an authentic Asian cuisine, for only about a dollar!

Answer 8

Use a recipe, follow the instructions and measurements and cooking times and you should be fine. I'm a terrible cook too but I can follow a recipe. If you're making people sick, you might want to check the expiration dates on the stuff you're using.
