https://a.co/d/03kek923 I’m a fan of this. Plenty of pictures that show you step by step directions in preparing dishes. https://a.co/d/0fzaRG0t The Professional Chef from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) is a textbook used by many cooking schools. They’re currently on the 10th edition, but finding a used copy of an older edition could be a cheaper option.
Uh, no… Gemini does not actually think and does not have the capacity for rational thought or problem solving. It’s a word-search algorithm. It finds “the next best word in the sentence I am writing.” It’s designed to have conversations that appear normal. That’s all it does. It doesn’t actually think or solve problems. At best it apes other, more intelligent people (humans) without any real understanding. If you want to be a good home cook you need to rely on other humans, babe. There is no replacement. You need to find a good cook and website that creates reliable recipes and lean on them until you feel confident. I really recommend RecipeTinEats as a solid home cook source of recipes. Nagi is a great resource! If you’re lacking foundational knowledge and wondering why specific steps and flavors are always combined together, I recommend you read an actual cooking textbook. The Professional Chef by The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) is a great book for everyone to read.
