I know, it sounds so silly.

I witnessed a traumatic house fire at the age of 12 that started from a kitchen fire at my neighbors house. they died.

Ever since then, any type of fire scared me (lighter etc). Ive been in therapy for it too. This includes cooking now because that is how the fire started. I am SOO scared of starting a fire.

But, I need to get over this.

How can I teach myself to cook? Where can I start in terms of cooking? I do still cook, but only easy things like eggs.

I want to become good at it! Any tips? And anyone know how I can avoid a fire in the kitchen as much as possible?
