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?

I really like Serious Eats since they actually provide a bit of a theoretical story about what you're trying to do, in a way that can be generalised to similar ingredients. Before I became generally too sick to prepare complex meals for myself, they really inspired me to play in the kitchen more.
