I would recommend for beginning cooks to strive for balance and to get a good basic cookbook. While pasta is easy, it's also not the most nutritious meal one can make. I really like How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman as he gives plenty of basic vegetable recipes. So while you're about to boil pasta, I would recommend cooking a little bit less than you think you need and double the amount of accompanying vegetables. Vegetables are way cheaper and can go further than a box of insta-whatever. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Recipes for the Graduate and Other Beginning Cooks |

There are many food-specific things that I am snobby about, but I am truly snobby about where I shop for any food item. I don't care for giant grocery stores with a warehouse feel, even if they do sell some things cheaper than at my local co-op (although, I don't notice that much of a difference). The smaller the store the better! I love specialty shops and enjoy picking out a few important items rather than filling a cart to the brim. Local veggies, in season fruit, and unusual treats keep me coming back and snubbing the normal grocery stores! Apartment Therapy - Thursday Giveaway: The Food Snob's Dictionary |
