Hi everybody who is scared to cook!!!
I am here to tell you that cooking is not hard and that if you are struggling it is not you, maybe it is the recipe that you are trying, or the methods you are using but trust me everyone can do it. It may take you 2 minutes or 2 years to really learn how to cook but if you think about some of the people out there who can cook, you should know that you definitely can too!! :)

If you are starting with someone like Julia Child or Adriano Zumbo then maybe you have found the source of your problem, because lets be honest they are not the easiest recipes to start with!! I believe that starting with something simple like Jamie Oliver or Ainsley Harriet is the answer. The big tasks are not for the beginners, so start with something simple like an omlette or scrambled eggs. Begin with something that does not require a lot of preparation and cooking time.
Honestly, if you are spending your life buying bad food or wasting all of your money dining out all the time then try something new. What is the worst than can happen, you might find you actually enjoy it? Anyway wouldn't you love to learn how to make something for a loved one without having to buy a bad frozen meal.

Do you always wish you could wow friends with an amazing dish, or just show them that you don't have to go out when they come to stay. Well it is easy to do trust me! If you are telling yourself that you never have time to cook well then think again, as we have learnt from our friend Mr Oliver you can make simple dishes in under 20 minutes, and they don't have to be great feasts, just a simple meal. If your parents never taught you how to cook well then teach yourself, start small and simple and be realistic about what you can achieve.
Maybe try a toasted sandwich, or try roasting vegetables, or roasting a chicken, brownies or guacamole. A great thing to do maybe to practice your knife skills, teach yourself how to cut an onion, so off you go.
Anyway try it! You will love it and if not then you might save some money.
