Its not the only way, thats just the way I learnt. You may be able to learn from a cookbook or other means.
Re: Help, I Can't Cook To Save My Life! by GL(f): 12:45am On Jan 06, 2010
search for very easy recipes online, using foods you like or are familiar with. don't be afraid to start, you'll make mistakes and learn a lot from them. i learnt through the internet myself.

Start with small, simple recipes. And start by eating what you cook, not feeding it to other humans.

Cookbooks and watching food channels on TV will help. the fastest way to learn though is by watching and learning from experience. If you have a friend that knows how to cook, always accompany him or her into the kitchen to see what they do and how they do it, and what the food should look like at various stages of the cooking process.
Then go home and try it on your own. With time, you will gain enough confidence.

The second or third biggest responsibility of your womanhood and you are incapable of fulfilling that.

says who? learning to cook isn't that hard. i couldn't cook a thing less than 2 years ago, but now i can cook just about everything i really enjoy eating. and i didn't even have to take any lesson, i learnt all by myself; searching for recipes online, asking friends for ideas/recipes, just mixing up any ingredients i like.

cooking isn't rocket science, for the most part there are no hard and fast rules. even if you do make a mistake, you might come up with a new recipe which you prefer. so don't be afraid to explore, just be careful with seasoning and how much liquid you use. it's better to start with a little and add to it, than to start with too much. once u start cooking one food, you'll realize the procedures for others are quite similar.

If you like call me stewing hen, I refuse to be malnourished into kwashiorkor by any she-goat - you included.
What's of utmost importance is to note that you did not debunk my assertions.

Inability to cook just makes a women 10x less attractive to me.

I'm afraid you have a diluted and oversimplified perception of cooking. Sure any tom, spiked, nkechi, sue, harry, and baby can cook, but is the prepared meal tasty? Properly seasoned?
