The trick is to start by learning to cook a few things
well. If you dive into trying to master too many recipes, you'll just get confused.
It takes time to work through learning to cook many different dishes, which is why girls should be started in the kitchen as early as possible!
Now, your husband may be disappointed that you only know how to make 4 or 5 things, but if you make them well, invite another couple over as often as you can. Then you'll be invited over to their house for dinner, which will give your husband some variety as you keep up with learning new things.
Most important: Whenever you eat something good, do whatever you have to to get the recipe. Don't go experimenting. Pursue what you
know to be good.
Also, buy this. Then you can serve fruit and nuts and a charred pidgeon or something when you burn a caserole.

Here is an easy pie recipe for you to start with: NO BAKING!

Note:
This is very sweet. Experiment with using less sugar, if that's to your household's taste.
PS: With a few blueberries scattered on top of the strawberries, this makes a very patriotic-looking dessert for 4th of
July, etc.
