Start here.
Hey, I'm Thomas. If you have never cooked before, you are in the right place. Every recipe here is one I actually made in my own kitchen, written step by step so anyone can follow along.
Start with something easy. These are my simplest recipes — short ingredient lists, clear steps, and hard to mess up. Pick one, cook it, and you will see: if I can make it, you can make it.

I wrote a guide called Thomas's Kitchen — Cooking Basics & Kitchen Safety. It covers kitchen safety, food safety, tools, and beginner techniques, plus a 7-day starter plan. It is $12.99 on my cookbook page.
