Are there anyone here who are good at cooking, how and where did you learn cooking?

when i first started learning how to cook, someone told me to try recipes off of the back of products. ive made lots of good stuff that way. i also got a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. (the big manual type one) my mom always had one and ive never made anything bad from it. easy recipes that dont require fancy ingredients. i still use it for basic stuff. nowadays theres tons of recipes online. so basically im generally a recipe follower. some people liek to cook on the fly but i dont. once you get good then you can tweak them. be careful of online recipes though sometimes they turn out to be a disaster if you follow it exactly. i have a nice cookbook collection too with trusted recipes that ive tried before that came out good. ive since gone to culinary school and learned a lot from there too.

eta- then theres moms recipes too lol. my mom was the best cook.
