Well thanks for that Max.
wonders if max has ever sampled a knuckle sandwichMax are you aware of a concept called “mansplaining”?
Max isn’t very aware at allMax are you aware of a concept called “mansplaining”?
I know the skills thanks. I was taught them by my mum and grandmother. I used to be able to cook lovely meals.You shouldn't really need online classes, certainly no need to pay for them. Couple of things you need to be a good cook.
Good quality pots/pans/knives/whisk and scales.
Learn the basics but learn them well, learn to grill, fry, bake, stir fry and simmer. Get to know your stove and its little foibles like hot spots in the oven or grill. Once you get these basics mastered all you need is a recipe and maybe a picture of what you want to re-create.
bon appetit

Honestly folks, get those real basics sorted and your confidence will lift and you'll move on from "I'm going to try and make this" to "I am going to make this". I'm lucky I grew up in a 'foodie' household where mom and dad were fantastic cooks and involved me in preparing food from a very young age but they drummed into me how getting the simple stuff right was the key to cooking.
Have fun with cooking, who cares if you mess up a dish first time round, thats no big deal, food is a great way of relaxing and spending time with friends and loved ones.
Tonight is a late dinner and i've got Ox Tail cooking in red wine in the slow cooker for when my lad gets off duty tonight

foodie doesn't need quotation marks
thats needs an apostrophe
oxtail is one word, no need for capitalisation either

Max is of the opinion that Jack’s recipes are great and work well if you follow them. Although he’s never tried one. There is a theme developing.Max posted on the Jack thread a few times.
