Hello, bees! I like playing around in the kitchen, but I feel like I really have no idea what I'm doing with the fundamentals. I'm enjoying the learn-from-experience process, but am looking for something to supplement. I recently started reading / listening to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (by Samin Nosrat). I'm liking it so far, but I am feeling like there are some assumptions made on readers' understanding. Perhaps there are other helpful materials with different perspectives on covering the basics. Do you have any recommended books, shows, or other material on the absolute basics of cooking?

A bit of a different recommendation, but a service where they send you ingredients with instructions for the dishes you select, aka Hellofresh in some countries. It will help you to wrap your head around portions, spices order of preparation and etc, most importantly just plainly building experience instead of listening / reading to other people talking about it.
