Hi!
I've decided to learn how to cook properly1! I'm tired of always getting takeaway food. I've found some recipes online, but they seem quite difficult2.
Have you got any advice about how to start? What's the easiest way to learn3?
By the way, when I've learned a bit more, would you like to come for dinner4?
Best wishes,
Sam
