I asked my husband, who started cooking only in the last few years. He said to keep things simple. Make recipes that have just a few ingredients. I would add to give yourself plenty of time. You'll gain speed as you gain experience. Enjoy making something tasty for yourself. If you find that you don't really like cooking, but still want to cook for yourself, find some simple, quick recipes that you really enjoy eating. And, have the ingredients for them on hand always. Good luck.

There is a recipe on Food 52's site for a salmon soup

Based on Amandica's suggestion to use it as a salmon substitute.
I've had good luck re-heating fish soup. I nuke it a minute or less at a time to just get it to temp without cooking the fish further. I would also try the fish cooked in foil packets. I love fish this way - less smell, less mess.

Viagg... Without seeing your kitchen of course. You can attach cleats to the wall beside and behind the dishwasher and to the cabinet side. Depending on what type of counter you get you can attach it by screwing from below or with silicone. Good luck.

A compliment and an introduction.

Ok, Super, not supper!

Is there a mini-bar? They wouldn't count it as a fridge but you could have them empty it and it would be plenty of room.

I would find a close-by grocery. You can use their salad bar for salad and for veggies for other meals, get small amounts of meat from the deli to make sandwiches, stock up on fruit... Many have hot soup available. If they have pre-prepared foods, ask if they can heat them for you in the microwave. The coffee maker is your friend, you can use it to make oatmeal, couscous, Asian noodles. The iron for grilled cheese or "panini" (wrap in foil) really works.

If there is a coffee shop nearby you can get a small milk in a large cup and add your own cold cereal.

Good luck!

And, if you are substituting for buttermilk in a recipe, you may need to decrease the baking soda in the recipe. If you find your cake is a little fallen, decrease the bs a little.

I like their boxes. Shipping was very fast.

Brooklynnine: you could keep a roasted or braised meat in the freezer packaged in single meal sizes that can be easily nuked. You could either cook them yourself or buy it already cooked at the market and break it down for later meals. I try to have pre-roasted chicken in the freezer which is easy to add to pastas. Good luck.

I use my mandoline for any veg I want shaved thinly (salads...). I have decent knife skills but it is an easier and quicker way. Be careful of cutting yourself. Mine has a ceramic blade, plastic handle, and was purchased inexpensively from Williams Sonoma.
