Following a recipe is a good start, and at least allows you to feed yourself beyond microwaved bullshit or going out to a restaurant. Knowing the science behind it, however, can open up new avenues to making dishes you love even if you can’t get all of the usual ingredients because you will know what you can use instead without compromising the taste or texture.
It’s probably cliche but if you’re into youtube tutorials Basics with Babbish is a great place to start. He teaches simple dishes that taste great and teach different skills. Another way to learn is to do one of the all in one delivery meal like simply fresh. It’s expensive but affordable and it’s really good practice. Also, if you find a dish a you really like you can make it when ever you lole.
AppoxoIsnt Hello Fresh just following the recipe without doing grocery shopping?

No. You right.
AA5BThe recipes are really well done especially for a learner. This is one of the ways I taught my teens to cook.
Even the food pre-packaging can be a good thing. While you could do the shopping yourself, sometimes people aren’t comfortable with that when you need small amounts for recipes.
Totally fair. The few recipes I saw from YT were quite neat.
There’s also the tragedy of choice. It may seem counterintuitive, but it can be easier to choose among a small set of curated recipes than the infinite variety online.
I generally go with something I find online, something I’m familiar with, or something I make up, but that can be difficult for some people until they gain experience. Even then I am tempted to bring back Hello Fresh for myself - it takes all the guesswork out, is very convenient, and is always a success
Totally. Decision paralysis is a dealbreaker.
Upsite: You don’t have to remember going for groceries as it’s all already cared for and the possibility for trying something actually new is higher.

It gives you exact amounts of the right ingredients which alleviates a pain when grocery shopping.
Once you have enough recipes under your belt that you can figure out ways to use your leftover raw ingredients, it’s no longer worthwhile.
