I know how to cook, but with the help of cookbooks. I want to learn how to cook chicken dishes and pasta. I hope I could learn how to do it one of these days...

The food network is a great place to learn how to cook. Most of the shows take you step by step.

Cooking pasta is one of the easy dishes. You can do it in 30 minutes (you know rachel ray?). Even if with the help of cookbooks, at least you try to cook. Just give yourself sometime and you'll be surprised on how to cook with any help from cookbooks. I also use cookbooks whenever I cook dishes. What I usually do is i seek the help of a cookbook if I want to try a new recipe. Then If I want to cook that recipe again, I try not to rely on a cookbook, I just browse on it if I think I am forgetting something or if I am not sure of what to do next. Practice makes perfect.

I want to learn how to cook too! Like yours, I know how to cook but I don't really know how to cook in a skillful and creative way. Cookbooks and recipes given by my mom help me a lot when I'm in the kitchen. Fortunately, I'm learning. :) There are many schools for cooking out there, and some have professional chefs as professors! Try it out. It might help you.

I am sure they give courses near you somewhere. I have learned how to cook when I was a small girl, my mother tought me. And when I got older I just experimented a lot with food.

learning how to cook is easy. You just have to know the basics and when you're already familiar don't be afraid to try and check out those that are in the cookbook. It can help you learn aboout new dishes and techniques for your cooking career. goodluck on you cooking. :)
