how can a novice learn how to cook so she doesnt starve to death?
i lived with parents all mylife. i’m in spain now, and i like with 2 other students, but theres no one to cook for me. i’m giong to be here for 3 months, then travel to france for 2 weeks before coming home. projected day of return to states about mid june. so until then, i need to find some way to feed myself. theres like burger king agnd mcdonalds and dominos pizza, is what ive been relying on. i get frozen pizzas. you see in the states, i eat budget gourmet and lean pockets everyday, augmented with fruit. but they dont have this stuff here, its all fatty microwave meals. i dont know how to use a stove even. i’m so lost. any suggestions?
well you can always make stir fry of vegetables, healthy and easy to make
just saute garlic and chop onion, and then throw in the veggies that you like, add seasoning and thats it. you can serve it with warm rice. you can also add chicken strips or beef strips while sauteing the garlic and onion
or you can make fried rice, again saute garlic and onion, add beaten egg, stir well, add in the cooked rice, mix well, add in seasonings, voila, you get the simplest fried rice yet filling and yummie. if you have extra money to get soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, these 3 kinds are good for fried rice as well.
you can always make scramble egg, 3-4 beaten eggs mixed with finely sliced or chopped onion, add in seasonings, shredded cheese and milk (both are optionals). heat a little oil, saute 1 tbsp chopped onion, pour in egg mixture, scramble, serve with toast or baked beans or bacon.
make tuna chowder, you will need a can of tuna, a can of cream of mushroom, milk, seasonings, garlic salt and celery salt. mix all well, bring to a slightly boil, serve warm
make soup. as simple as buying carrots, potato, green beans, kernels, bring water to a boil, add in bouilon powder, chicken or beef stock if you have, seasonings, add in veggies, stir well, let simmer until veggies a bit tender.
you can also buy can foods you know, and you can add this and that, experimenting yourself until it reaches your tastebud
