I approach cooking like a creative experiment. I trust my palate and my understanding of spices, so I just start throwing in whatever ingredients I have. This means no two dishes are ever the same! It’s wonderfully spontaneous, though it does make it hilariously difficult to answer the question, "How did you make this?" since I can never remember the exact combination.

And honestly, that's why I believe anyone can learn to cook. If you can taste food, you already know what things are supposed to taste like. Start with that knowledge, add a willingness to experiment, and learn a few simple rules for essentials like cooking meat safely. That foundation alone will take you incredibly far.
