Male Female

So, I am a talented home cook but not a chef. I cook different dishes from India, not from around the world. I mostly used to cook South Indian dishes, particularly those prepared with rice, vegetables, and lentils. Apart from that, I know how to bake chocolate cakes and cookies, and I have also mastered pizza preparation from scratch. I always love to prepare my own marinara sauce. This is the talent I have, and I want to improve it further to the next step. I want to prepare the dishes in a single attempt. I used to burn something or add extra salt or extra spice powders, which would ruin the dish. I want to avoid those mistakes by improving my cooking quality. I think I once burned a chocolate cake while baking. Due to the temperature I set, I overbaked it by nearly 4 to 5 minutes. It ruined the texture of the cake, and it also had a slightly burnt smell. I think I need to improve in these areas with precise measurements and the specific ingredients I must use. Apart from this, I would like to learn more about cooking different cuisines. I want to learn many different cuisines, such as Italian, German, Mexican, and French.
