How can I learn cooking? (lemmy.world)

Hello. I can't really taste or smell anything since birth.

Cooking for myself is fine but I only know texture is is good. It might taste unedible for all I know.

I will have to cook for other people at some point in future afterall. Any of you found a trick to use during covid or something?

Please tell me even if it's not that effective. I have no idea how to fix this. Thank you very much.

Since you can't really taste or smell, your best bet will be to follow recipes and hope for the best. Approach cooking like a science. Measure at all points during the process. Measure out all the ingredients and prepare then ahead of cooking them. When cooking meats, use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the meat to make sure they are cooked.

Its always better to undersalt things than over salt. You can always add more salt but can't remove it. You can pre salt things and hour before and this will help even out the saltiness of most things.
