My parents got me started on basic stuff like scrambling eggs, boiling pasta, and following basic recipes, but everything past that was basically self taught. Both my parents can cook just fine, but as time went on they did it less and less often, so by the time I was in highschool I made most of my own meals, not usually anything too fancy but I never relied on the microwave at least.

I've been using YouTube as a resource more and more the last few years. Helps a lot to figure out the stuff that my parents didn't teach or that I couldn't easily trial and error. Firstly, it's nice seeing someone else do it and secondly as blogger-type recipes grow more and more long-winded it's honestly not much of a time difference
