I just made the most incredible meal and it was super easy. If you haven't already done so I highly recommend you pick up the 4 Hour Chef by Timothy Ferriss - its not only a cookbook, but a book on learning how to learn - and in it he's tackling teaching you 2 years of culinary school knowledge in, you guessed it, 4 hours of hands on time.
