i promise it’s not that bad, it just takes a little getting used to at first. figure out what flavors you really like try cooking things with similar flavor profiles

i really get the overwhelm tho. you don’t have to cook from scratch, you can start small and use pre-prepped ingredients

i was trying to make parmesan pasta from a box and i got so overwhelmed by the directions 🥲 like i thought i could microwave it and it would’ve been easier to do on the stove, but idk how to boil water the correct way

just heat water in a pot on high and wait for the bubbles to start rolling. youtube can give you visuals on how to do things if you learn easier that way. boiling water isn’t just for cooking if that makes you feel any better. tea like chai is traditionally made in pots
