People always think that cooking is complicated—but if you can get a good handle on the basics, there's almost nothing that you can't make. My friend Anthony is a disaster in the kitchen—he doesn't even know how to use the oven! Anthony's from an Irish background and his first food memories are of comfort dishes like Shepherd's Pie. Now a busy professional, the only dish Anthony has mastered is oatmeal, which he makes over and over again. But armed with some basics, Anthony's kitchen skills are about to improve and his meals will never be the same!

TIPS:

  • A basic tomato sauce is an essential dish to master. The possibilities of what can be made with it are endless—lasagna, pastas, chili, etc. Make big batches and freeze them for quick dinnertime shortcuts.

  • Once you get the hang of perfect mashed potatoes, mix 'em up! Add yams, sweet potatoes or even parsnips for a twist on traditional spuds.
