    Basic cooking.

    You don’t need to be Gordon Ramsey, but in a pinch, know how to make pasta, chilli and a few other things.

      Is chilli considered basic? Spicy food is not that common where I live. For me the basics would be to know how to:

      -Peel and cut veggies

      -Boil stuff

      -Fry eggs

      But maybe it’s a cultural thing! I’m interested in knowing what you’re doing with your chilli peppers ;)

        Basic chili recipe (people from texas can bite their tongue for five minutes one time):

        • beans
        • tomatoes
        • onions
        • peppers

        A little bit of cumin and salt to taste and you actually don’t need anything else to get something that is recognizable as chili.

        I add all sorts of other stuff, but that’s the basics.

        Oh i meant chili as in American chili. Beans and ground beef.

        Basically, just knowing how to make something easy for a quick meal if you need to.

      I’ll just say I am lucky enough to have been the child in my family who learned to cook from my mom, but I can certainly agree people should know at least the basics.
