I worked for 3 years in a restaurant as a kid. First year I washed dishes. Second I did salad preparation and in the third I did real cooking. That was a hell of a grounding and took a lot of the fear out of cooking for me. A few years ago I asked a good friend of mine who happens to be Indian (from India - not Native American!) when she was going to cook me some Indian food. She sheepishly told me "I like chinese food". But she did hook me up for a weekend cooking with her mum, a native of Northern India and a wonderful cook. She taught me a whole bunch of wonderful Indian recipies and since then she's put together a *wonderful* recipe website with a great community around it. You can find it at www.mamtaskitchen.com. Something you didn't say in the article, C.C., that I think is really important for dads and our kids, is that we must present to our kids an impression not only that cooking is fun and easy to do but also that it's the *normal* way to feed ourselves. We need to get away from the idea that picking up something from McDonald's or a frozen meal from the freezer is normal. If we take charge of preparing our own food we'll also take charge of our future health. I’m pretty lucky. I worked for 3 years in a restaurant as a kid. First year I washed dishes.

They made even complicated stuff look easy, and showed that it was OK to improvise. Now, I'll try anything - with enough butter and garlic, pretty much anything will come out OK. I highly recommend starting with breakfast, though. Learning how to make omelets, homefries, bacon and pancakes will give you the basics for cooking pretty much anything else you might want to tackle.
