Try starting off with an easy recipe that suits your lifestyle. For instance, if fish is your favourite order when eating out, try your hand at a simple glazed salmon for dining in. Find a recipe with ingredients you’re likely to have — and keep — in your pantry, and soon a restaurant quality dish will be part of your everyday repertoire.
Keep it simple.
Start with a beginner’s recipe.
