Cooking is only as difficult as a person wants to make it. For example, mac and cheese. Person A could heat up some pasta in the microwave and pour Velveeta cheese on top of it and call it dinner. Person B could: 1)create a roux (flour and butter thickening agent), 2)cube sharp cheddar cheese, 3) heat up heavy whipping cream to make their own cheese sauce with all the seasonings that they want, 4) boil the pasta, 5) then combine the cheese sauce and pasta, 6) sprinkle bread crumbs on top then stick in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. It all depends on how much work one would like to do. Follow the instructions in the recipe, most of the time, it is pretty simple and the end result is good.

It depends on who you are asking this to. There are some aspects of cooking that are simple and easy, like cooking pasta, mac and cheese, grilling a cheese-and-ham sandwich, etc. Other aspects of cooking are more difficult: the more complex a recipe is, the harder it is to do.

get a pot that is tall enough to submerge the eggs in water.

fill with enough water to cover the eggs, if the eggs stick out a little that's ok too.

boil the water. after the water comes to a boil, use a spoon to lower the eggs carfully into the boiling water. for soft boiled eggs wait aproximately 2 minutes 30 seconds. for medium wait 3 minutes and hard boiled eggs take about 3-4 minutes. turn off the heat, put the pot into the sink and turn on the cold water, this will cool the eggs outer shell making it easier to peel, and easier to handle. when the water is cool you can take the eggs out and voila boiled eggs. if you are young, please have your parents supervise you until they are comfortable with you doing it on your own.

absolutly not! just by a cook book from the store. in it are the list of ingredients (items used to create the dish) then it tells you what to do with those items such as bake them, stir them, etc. it lists cooking time and how many people it serves. have fun cooking!!!
