I think this is a very big question for the limited possibilities of
newsgroups. I would suggest buying a cookbook that is meant for
beginners. Things to learn how to do that can help you be versatile fat a

omelettes
cooking rice, pasta, potatoes,
learning a little a bit about salad dressings
frying meat
simple soups (put some beans/meat/veg into water, add stock cube, maybe
blitz it and you're set to make full meal in just one pan)
stews and pasta saucesrehighl;y freezable and can save you time

and most of all, paying attentiont to what you are eating *now*. What
(combinations) do you like of ingredients, stextures, colors etc? What
kinds of rpreparation techniques do you think have been used? etc. You
might learn a lot by eating And reading labels can help, too.


There is a lot to be said about eating and food and there is a lifetime
worth of enjoyable learning ahead of you> I wish you lots of fun and
success!
