Best thing I ever found when I started cooking , was just do it what is the worst that is going to happen, over season it, under season it, and always have a back up , a box dinner if it doesn't turn out and you end up pitchin it out. You will find that you seem to waste a lot at first, but you do not get good at cooking by looking at it. Try the dish, buy the ginger root, mine sometimes grows before I can get it used, but if I would listen to the shows they pretty much tell you how to store it, and if need you can always look it up. DO not be afraid, watch your heat as Emeril says use them knobs, that is what they are for and most stuff you can start off on medium heat and increase as needed or lower with out burning. And remember you always have us to ask, we won't yell at you, or scold you, but we will give you hints and help. Remember season and then reseason and in just a little while you will go wow thats not that hard
