Besides, Demo isn't a plebeian when it comes to food. He knows what's up.

The odd thing is, for learning to cook, there isn't really anything better than having someone who knows how teach you, or a maybe a home ec class, depending on the teacher. (College/industry cooking classes will get the job done, but the business environment is NOT like cooking at home.)
Failing that, you just have to get stuff, try everything despite not knowing wtf you are doing, and brute force your way into knowledge.
Sadly, I've never seen a tv show that aims to cover the fundamentals and get you to the same place as any proper chef. As much as I love Good Eats, even it is more about the why than the how, (though the cookbooks he did are better at it).

Granted, AFTER you know what the fuck you're doing, there are tons of great resources like Cook's Illustrated and such.

"I don't like something something, but I'm not really being judgmental, this is why I don't like it."

"WELL FUCK YOU HIPSTER FAGGOT! PEOPLE USE IT! HOPE YOU LIKE SCARVES! ABLOOBLOOBLOOBLOO!"

"I don't like allrecipes because half the time it's "get a packet mix and a piece of meat and stir together" type shit. Fuck that. "
yep totally passive and not the least bit judgmental sounding

"someone joking on my white girl better give a synopsis in all caps"

**Demosthenes** · 2012-08-10 10:21

Right, because you can't dislike that without being passive aggressive.

**Demosthenes** · 2012-08-10 10:21

Don't ever dislike anything. EVER!

**Qalbert** · 2012-08-10 10:22

"yo fuck that shit" ain't passive, foo

**Demosthenes** · 2012-08-10 10:22

If you do, don't ever have personal reasons for it.
