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!

Anywho.
depending on your cooking level I always refer people who are just starting out (although its good for any level) to watch this show/ use their recipes Everday Food.

And Everyday Baking.

For anyone thats looking for a scientific approach or even just for hardcore cooks and foodies (although a beginner could get into it as well) America's Test Kitchen is the f*cking show, magazine (Cooks Illustrated) and any book they come out with to buy buy buy/watch.

They test everything (recipes, equipment and tasting) until they find the VERY BEST and VERY SIMPLE method possible and I never EVER have bought any equipment without consulting their website beforehand to see what their recommended choices were.

Although IMO, Chris Kimball has a very picky/expensive tongue therefore he sometimes he tends to go with something that is more epicurean friendly over maybe something that the mainstream cook would be happy with just as well.
