My culinary skills have barely moved on since my early student days and this has led to me having a fairly monotonous diet.
I would really like to learn a bit more about cooking to add variety to things, however I really get turned off by recipe books that are just lists of ingredients and what to do accompanied by pretty pictures. MY INTJ brain wants to know HOW cooking works - why certain flavours go together, why do we prepare things in certain ways. I might be more inclined to try stuff out if I knew more about the bigger picture of cooking.
Does anyone have any recommendations for good books (or blogs or podcasts) that actually explain and help you to understand about cooking and food?
