Recent change in life circumstances, and now I’m trying to figure out how to be an adult about food. I want to focus on eating healthy. I have very little foundational knowledge, so I need ELI5-level content. I’d love some online resources that I could use to learn. In-person classes are not a great fit. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Indeed… go through the backlog of Sorted Food episodes, and possibly even get their meal planning app.

    The big thing to cooking is being willing to experiment and fail, and learn what works and what doesn’t — after learning a few basics, of course, like what equipment works, how to keep your kitchen clean, and how to store and prepare different food types safely.

    Tip: the “stomach flu” is just food poisoning caused by improper food storage and/or prep and cooking hygiene.

      Spot on with the experimentation. If you cook something and it’s crap - you can always go and get takeaway and try again tomorrow.
