Great! Cooking is awesome!
Look up the cookbook "joy of cooking"
also "mastering the art of french cooking volume one and two"
u might like learning about french style omelets by the way.
i would try and cook with someone else who is good at it.
the way to learn is by doing it, and asking questions, and reading about it.
my other favorite cookbooks are "the real taste of jamaica" (i think its one of the best jamican cookbooks...)
"classics of indian cooking" (sanhi)
the ethnic vegetarian
the frugal gourmet: china greece and rome
sweet hands (Trinidad and tobago)
next on my cookbook wishlist is a good haitian, and colombian one.
and thai!
there are many blogs and recipe indexes online...
