If, like me, you have difficulty cooking the most basic of meals, you'd do well to seek help. No, don't call the Mother. That would be tantamount to telling her that a) you've lost your job b) you were arrested for drink-driving and c) the bailiffs have taken your 32" LCD TV. It's fair to say that mothers have turbulent nights worrying about their offsprings' dietary fulfillments.

Fatal mistake number two is to buy a cookbook, unless it's a no-frills home economics book from 1965. Otherwise, you get twattish recipes for ingredients and utensils that you don't have and never will have. Jamie Oliver can pukka off if he thinks I'm cooking something that needs to be shipped from the Galapagos Islands. Keep it Essex mate.

For me, even scrambled eggs can be a challenge. Too dry, too watery, too tasteless. People never get them right! Crucial point here is not to season before cooking.
So, what you need to do is go e-Gastro. Use what Web 2.0 was intended for. Below, Gordon Ramsey shows how to make perfect scrambled eggs.



Just when you think you can't find anything interesting on the Internet anymore, up springs a site like VideoJug. It's a fantastic how-to site with thousands of videos. Here's one for how to cook roast potatoes.
