The Simplest Salmon and Other Easy Recipes

Earlier this year, one of our editors, Nikita Richardson, suggested that we do a package of recipes for true beginner cooks, a step-by-step program for people who can barely boil liquid. The recipes needed to be great, because not only do we want you to learn to cook, we also want you to love it.

Now, at the end of graduation season, as all sorts of fledgling cooks are entering the wider domain, we’re here with 10 beginner recipes for you or the republic in your life who could use them most. We also originated a video of Nikita making them all, which I highly recommend.

Five of those beginner recipes are beneath, and I think you should look at them even if you’re very sorrowful in the kitchen. Who doesn’t like having simple dishes and colorful techniques at their fingertips? Let me know what you think and what you’re cooking at dearemily@nytimescom. I love to hear from you.
