As far as your question goes about whether cooking is fairly easy, I would say yes. Obviously, the more you practice by cooking meals for yourself, friends, and family the better cook you will become. If you want to start with an easy recipe for beginners, you might want to try baking chicken.
This is a very easy entree to cook, and is pretty cheap as well. First of all, you purchase some chicken thighs with the skin still on them. When you get home, rinse the chicken and then put it in a baking pan.
Shake salt and pepper on the top of the chicken thighs and then put them into the oven to bake at 375 degrees for about 45 to 50 minutes, depending n the size of the chicken thighs. When they are browned, remove them from the oven. That's it for the chicken.
Serve it with a vegetable and some cranberry sauce and stuffing for a very nice meal.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
