Another fast, low calories, high proteins, high fibres meal: steak with steamed vegetables (you can fast steam them in a suitable container in the microwave).

And yes, poroporo wins the thread, the best magic cooking device is mommy!    (While the same cannot be said of girlfriends, I cook better than almost every girlfriend I had in my life... But they all beat me hands down in tidying up!  ).

I know a few pretty good recipes but I can't be bothered to type so many words so use google you lazy ass. lol

Kraft Dinner

this will do you

also buy yourself a decent steamer which has a few levels,i can't recommend this enough

you can cook chicken and fish in the bottom,vegetables/new potatoes in the middle

all you have to do is fill it with water and turn the timer on,refilling water when needed

all done in 20/30/40 mins and as healthy as you can get

My favorite food I can make in 10 minutes.   Spamghetti

"Uova nel coccio": plain and simple fried eggs, but cooked with extra virgin olive oil in an earthenware pot or pan. The taste is a lot richer (*). "Da Giò", a restaurant in Perugia, Italy, transforms them in a luxury dish adding a black and white truffles sauce.

(*) Second after earthenware (and ceramics) for the taste given by the cooking process itself is enemelled metal (cast iron better than steel) cookware (clad copper is excellent for other dishes, but for eggs earthenware, ceramic and enamel are the best).

The hardest part to start cooking, I think, is having the correct tools.

Once you got over that hurdle, everything will just depends on what you feel like making and just learn to put stuff together from there.

2 important items that I think is useful to learn how to use.

Pressure cooker - cook stuff really fast

Slow cooker (crock pot) - cook stuff really slow

Finally, the most important toolset... knives.

Don't buy cheap throwaway knives. Get a good set, which you can hunt for sales to get a good deal. You can mostly depend on a knives set that comes in 3 pieces.

- Santoku/chef knife

- Utility knife

- Paring knife

That's all you really need and keep on using them to get used to them.

You would think that sharp knives would make it more likely to cut yourself but it's actually the opposite. Sharp knife doesn't slip from what you want to cut and won't cause accidents. Just be extra careful at the begining as you get used to it.

Also, don't ever use your fingers to rub the sharp edge, even if you think you're rubbing on the flat side, you'll find a cut on your finger easily from a sharp knife.

ummm, yeah, it's gotten long winded, LOL.

Also, Santoku and Chef knives are not the same.

They are similar length but have different shape.

Santoku is usually recommended for n00bs as it is easier to use.

Both serve similar purposes and you don't need both for casual cooking.

lol spaghetti bolognese is not hard to make, fry mince in pan, add bol sauce, boil spag, combine both when ready, sprinkle grated cheese on top, healthy and very tasty

A salad and a piece of roasted meat.

It takes like 15 mins...
