My first recommendation to anyone wanting to get serious about cooking is to simply buy a curriculum book that cooking schools use. You can get a copy of Professional Cooking by Wayne Gisslin, the most up to date version, for $65 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1...al+cooking
Also available on Kindle, and also older editions available for cheap. This book is the backbone of the Cordon Bleu curriculum, and it's written so that a monkey could understand it. (Many culinary school students are high school dropouts or otherwise dumb as a fucking brick) It walks you through the fundamentals of cooking in the most linear and logical way possible.
I just downloaded this for free and it's fantastic. Thanks for the recommendation.
