There are few better feelings as an amateur chef than cooking something new and completely nailing the recipe on the first try. Even better is when it's a recipe that is simple enough to become part of the weekday dinner rotation. Guess it's time to keep making this until the thought of it gives you the ick.

It has to be said, despite the many benefits and pleasures that come with learning to cook it can also offer plenty of frustration. That's why it is advisable to take a step back from the stove occasionally and indulge your cheffing impulses with a helping of cooking memes. The disasters that they often show can make you feel better about eating microwave meals for the third day in the row. Just don't give up on cooking completely—success (and tastiness) can sometimes come along when you least expect it if you get creative.
