Whew -- few weeks into quarantine and I need to up my game.

What is the best book or video you read/watched to learn to cook better?

As I find some, I will add here too. Let's all come out of this a bit more fit.

Thank you for the tip. Much appreciated.

I look forward to checking it out

Basics with Babish has been really awesome for me :D  (it's a youtube series/website)

Thank you FutureStealer ~ I will check out Babish.

I'm currently learning more about Petra from https://nutritionrefined.com/ ~ she's a raw food chef and a holistic nutritionist. My goal is to discover/make healthy meals. I want to emerge from this Pandemic being smarter, healthier and happier.

I'll share what I find foodwise here.

Best way is to take a class. I learned more in an 8 hour class than I did by a lifetime of trial and error.

Watch gordon ramsay

Check out HowToBBQRight on Youtube, a guy named Malcolm Reed.  There's lots of good channels out there but if you like to grill and/or smoke meat I think he is of the best ones. Take your pick of any of his vids and if you agree he's worth subscribing to.  Makes and sells his own rubs that are good as opposed to most Youtuber's shitty merch

look up anything from Alton Brown. He's a genius at explaining things clearly as to WHY things cook the way they do

The best way to improve your cooking skills is have a virus hit your town and you are on lock down. I've found myself looking up receipts move than ever.

I'm with you Rain ;)

Watching Chopped has helped. 4 chefs given random ingredients and a time limit, forcing them to be creative. 

Watch masterchef. Australia, not US unless you wanna improve your drama skills.

Must agree with the wild pokemon, watching masterchef US is the quick way to drama. Just practice, it makes "perfect"

Don't be afraid of salt or to let things undercook a little. People have a bad habit of burning shit.

I heard some people just cook the same recipe all over again, also not doing it right, and at some point they get enough exp to cook more complex things.
