So I am 19 years old and was never taught how to cook. Sadly I have a really bad eating style due to being autistic and lots of foods disgusting to me. Though I really need to know how to cook. I’m not gaining any weight funnily even though I eat like absolute crap. Though my maintenance calorie intake is upwards to 2,850 and I only eat 1.4K calories if I don’t snack or eat a third meal but if I snack probably more near 1.7k and a third meal ether 1.9k or 1.6k depending on which meal I eat again. Though these are Peanut butter grilled sandwiches and frozen party pizzas. Everyone I know questions how I’m still alive. So any help her would be appreciated! Thank you

    The best first time cookbook is probably Better Homes and Gardens, just because it has a lot of relatively simple and varied recipes.

    Once you get comfortable with those recipes, try Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and America’s Test Kitchen because they do well at explaining why things work or don’t work so you can start experimenting.
