I have the basics (chopping vegetables, boiling etc.). I've cooked a lot of easy dishes like soups, potatoes, pasta, rice, meat but I feel that I need to work more on emphasising the taste. I want to learn how to combine foods and flavours and cook something more elaborate and tasty to break the routine. I can't afford and I don't have the time to join courses, so I decided to try this on my own. Could you give me some advice on how to get started? Do you know some helpful sites? (And please don't suggest watching TV shows for I've already tried and still cannot cook any better, plus the recipes are generally unappropriate for begginners or ordinary people).
