I'm gen z. Cooking is difficult. I do it sometimes. My trick is throwing things I like into a pan and hoping they get better. It's easier with some things.

One tip I have is: Do not do thing concurrently. You will fail. Everything I do takes very long, and if I do two things at once it will be a Desaster.

A trick to make it more fun is listening to music or a podcast while you do it.

Also, many things you can get at the supermarket have instructions or suggestions about how to prepare them.

You don't have to do a whole range of things. It's okay if you can do one recipe and that's it for a start.
