I grew up in a family that cooks often , but repeatedly cooks the same thing over and over. Mostly Italian-American dishes, leaning more toward the Italian side.
As I got older, I started cooking more for myself and my gf, and enjoy it. Although I mess things up occasionally, 9/10 times my food comes out exactly how I pictured it.
I can usually get a perfect medium-rare steak, nice juicy proteins on the grill, and perfect seafood ( I love seafood ) without fail.
I don't really know how to improve my cooking, though.
I want to cook new dishes, get new flavors, and not feel limited by my imagination (which isn't that large when it comes to cooking, unfortunately).
Is the best way just to look up / try new recipes? Is there a youtube channel anyone recommends for cultivating imagination in the kitchen?
Lead me in the direction you took, jsp
