1. Get The Joy of Cooking cookbook. It is great for telling you about food and cooking, in addition to having many, many good recipes! You can find it at any bookstore or Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0684818701/qid=1148278232/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-1912396-5884852?s=books&v=glance&n=283155 2.

I do not know about Florida but usually you can sign up for cooking classes at a local jr. college and/or a local adult school. You might ask one of your friends or one of their moms also...I know that I have taught all of my kids and many of their friends the basics as well as anything else I could about cooking when they asked! Also realize that if you never try you will never succeed! If you can read, you can cook....get a basic cookbook....look through it first for a recipe you might want to try, start with the shorter recipes first....go pick up the ingrediants at the store....come home and just dive right in....follow the directions and even if you goof the first time you will eventually get it! Also....watch the Food Channel.... I am an accomplished cook and still learn by watching their shows!

Hey a hometown girl. I'm from the beaches (but live in Texas now), I'm not sure about a cooking school, just check the phone book under schools, there may be something in there, good luck!
