Cooking help

[that kid]

Ok I need to learn how to cook and I don't have much experience so if anyone could give me tips, recipes, or even links for something that's easy to make it would be appreciated.

Depends on what you want to learn to cook...cakes, pies, eggs, meats, fish? If it's anything, I'd start with something simple like eggs. Once you know how to scramble them, you can pretty much learn anything. :P

Well I know how to make different kinds of eggs. I know basic stuff like that but I want to learn to cook a decent meal for myself and others.

yes go with the food network. they are fantastic with some amazing stuff. you could also watch an episode and maybe watch what they and make the same recipe.
do they have cooking classes at your school? if so maybe sign up for some of those. they could be a big help
