Healthy cooking

Advice from a pro chef. First off be okay with failing. I've made many meals that would be better off in the garbage than in anyone's mouth.

First off learn how to make rice and pasta. Bake some chicken. Learn to make fried eggs and scrambled eggs.

Next learn how to make a bechamel sauce (Google is your friend and yes you can leave out everything but butter, flour, and milk) and add some cheese in to make Mac and cheese.

Learn to make a meat sauce for pasta and then make lasagna.

Make a pot roast (I prefer chuck roast) either in the oven or in the crock pot.

Learn to make mashed potatoes.

Learn how to blanch green vegetables and keep them bright green.

It's totally fine to fuck all these things up and learn via trial and error but the key is to start trying. Learning these things will give you a very broad base of knowledge. Cooking (like most things) is really all about building a solid knowledge base of principles and then expanding.

Some good quality meat with some type of healthier carb like sweet potatoes and some vegetables, that's my go to.

Get some carbs going: rice/potatoes/sweet potatoes/ couscous/pasta/ whatever u find attractive ;). Choose protein source: chicken, beef, pig, duck, fish, whatever and bake it/fry it/cook it. It is that simple. You can marinate meat in spices for a day before cooking it. Just be happy to experiment and fail until u r happy with tasty results. The less processed the better. Remember about healthy fats like virgin olive oil, cold-pressed rapeseed oil, flax oil, fish oil etc. Add eggs, nuts, veggies, fruits wherever. Soy souse, worcestershire souse, apple/wine/balsamic vinegar are useful. Hit me up if u want some more in detail advice/ some simple but good recipes.

If you like fish try starting with cooking filets. You can get big ass bags of skinless boneless tilapia for real cheap. My favorite thing about it is that it's pretty hard to mess up and overcook fish. Beef is quite difficult to cook correctly in my experience. Look into a rice cooker, rice can be the main thing you use to feel full after you eat, you'll need to add some flavoring into it though.

Jamie Oliver 15 minute meals are good. You can find them on torrents and you can also find a companion book there as well. Sometimes, the recipes are too complicated and have too many ingredients. But as long as you get the general idea of the workflow and Tips and tricks, you can cook on your own.

If you have Amazon Prime, watch cooking shows. Gordon Ramsay is good.

Rice is cheap and pretty much a staple carb in any meal. Oats for breakfast, good carbs. Tuna is a very lean protein. Avocados for healthy fats also nuts. Chicken breasts. Broccoli.
