Well Been cooking for myself and housemate for quite a while. This is what I've just realized about learning to cook, start from the most basic and simple stuff. For me, it was cooking chopped onion.
Slowly-cooked onion is the base of many sauces and soups. It is so simple and variable, heat up a saucepan with some olive oil, turn down the heat immediately after adding chopped onion, then cover the pan and watch the cover throbbing. You can now prepare other stuff for the sauce, because it takes quite a while to get to that golden, soft and opaque point.
I just learn after several times of cooking that I know what to add in and what not to (well this should partially count for the inspiration from Ratatouille). Ground pepper, cream, mushrooms, permesan, blue cheese...
That's how it works, though I don't really know how...
