• Struggling with cooking/food and idealised view of parenting

  Food blogs that really helped me when I started cooking were Simply Recipes (especially the older recipes written by Elise), and Smitten Kitchen (the latter I still swear by today, though some of the recipes are a little more complicated than beginner level -- still really approachable though!) Allrecipes was useful too, especially if you only look at the 4+ star recipes and read the top comments for tips. Source: 11 months ago

• [Serious] I need help. I’ve never eaten a salad. I don’t know where to start. This is something I should have learned as a kid but I never did.

  Another commenter said that salads are just an assemblage, and I agree! If you feel weird about raw vegetables/are taking a minute to get used to them, go the cooked or warm salad route - there are loads of good recipes online. I would recommend smittenkitchen (https://smittenkitchen.com/). They're also very seasonal right now! Roasted squash with goat cheese and arugula is a salad :). Source: over 1 year ago

• 32M and never learned to cook. What are some short videos to teach myself how to cook cheap and healthy meals out of whatever is available in the local market regardless of where I live?

  Ranna Khaddo Pushti by Siddiqua Kabir was my first holy grail for learning to cook. It will be lots of trial and error process before you figure out what works for you. I suggest going through MealPrepSunday subreddit, cause not all meal you have to cook, sometimes it’s just about creativity and organization. When I was in Bangladesh I ordered everything from chaldal. If you are looking for some particular blog,... Source: over 1 year ago

  I have been inspired a bit by Smitten Kitchen. Don't know what the background behind this site is, but for some time the number of recipes dropped significantly (burnout?).
