Start by watching YouTube videos about cooking - specifically single skills like how to chop with a Chef's knife, how to get a good sear on cast iron, how to sauté, fry, etc.

Then try some recipes that incorporate these skills.

Then once you can follow recipes alright then move on to experimenting and tweaking recipes. Try your spices. Identify what goes together. You'll get the hang of balancing acid, heat, sweet, salty, etc. You'll fail sometimes but you'll learn.

Eventually start making your own combinations and you won't need recipes (which doesn't mean you'll never use them).
