I am going to learn how to start cooking. I am the type of person that likes a lot of Italian and Spanish food. I am open to trying different things though. What are some cookbooks/recipe websites? THANKS ARJUNA!

http://www.101cookbooks.com/ and http://www.seriouseats.com/ are amongst my favorites. They cover a lot of different types of foods.


My favorite baking blog is JoyTheBaker, and I love her quirky writing.

Those food sites may have recipes that aren't beginner friendly, but the comments that people leave can help you tweak the recipe to your taste.

I like to cook, but sometimes I have a hard time changing ingredient amounts so that the recipe is small enough for just one or two servings. (Yeah, I cook for myself and don't care for leftovers.)
