i'm a single 26 year old female that is just starting to learn how to cook.most of what i can cook consists of boxed desserts and "accidental recipes" that i create. i wasn't allowed in the kitchen growing up so i am trying to teach myself how to cook. mish-mash, and any dessert caught a pot of water on fire when i younger while trying to make tea; tried to make sweet potato casserole and instead made sweet potato soup
