Buy a cook book for beginners and start cooking. The more you cook the better you will get.

There is a very good cookbook out there that you may be able to purchase for a very low price at Amazon.com. It is called The Settlement Cookbook. It was given to new Immigrants who came through Ellis Island (that is no longer done). It told the new immigrants all about the foods of America and how to prepare them. It is made for people who have never cooked so it should be able to teach you very simple methods to start your path of cooking. If you are interested in cooking food from another country, please let us know so we can help you with that as well. If you are not in the "States" then you may have supplies that are not available here or vice versa.
Do not be ashamed. A child who first learns to walk is not ashamed. Everything in our path on this earth is about learning new things. This is just one more "new step" for you. As you start, there will be mistakes (like the child falling down). But just keep trying and you'll be surprised how much you blossom into a wonderful cook.
In not knowing what kind of recipe you would like, here is a very simple one.
Take a couple of chicken thighs or pork chops
Open a can of cream of mushroom soup - undiluted
Put the ingredients of the can in a pot. Stir in just a little water (maybe 1/2 can). Add some black pepper, a bay leaf if you have it (if you don't have it, don't worry about it), and put the chicken or pork chops into the soup mix. Add a little more water if there isn't enough water and soup mix to cover the chops/chicken. Turn on the burner to medium, bring the mixture to a boil, turn the heat down and simmer (means little bubbles on occasion in the pot - not big bubbles all the time). Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes. If you are using frozen chicken or pork, do the same but increase the cooking time to 30 minutes. It will be very tender. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes. For the mashed potatoes, take a baking potato, wash it off, put it in a pan with water to cover it. Bring to a boil on medium and cook it for 15 minutes. Test it with a fork - the fork should be able to go into the potato easily - if it's hard to poke, cook a little longer - check it every 10 minutes until it goes in easily but not really soft or it will be mushy. Once the potato is done, drain it, pick it up with a hot pad and peel off the skin. Mash the potato with a potato masher or strong fork. Add some butter and beat it in. Add some milk and beat until it is the right consistency. Too much milk makes it more like pudding. Not enough makes it like a blob. Add a little black pepper and mix it it. Place a scoop of the potato in a bowl. Place the pork chop or chicken piece next to it in the bowl. Pour the soup over both. Serve.

Difficult to answer here...find a friend or someone who is a good cook near you for some pointers and help!

go to barnes and nobles and get a red and white checkered cookbook by better homes and gardens. They are the best, and they have great instructions, plus they come in foreign languages too!!
