See if there are any legit culinary classes in your area. If you don't want to take a class, you could maybe get by reading the textbooks they use. It at least go to the library and check out their culinary selection. A couple decades ago, there was a tv show called Good Eats by Alton Brown. If you can find the reruns, it has a lot of information for newbies, but it will take a long time to watch it all. I'm not an amazing chef but I do okay when I put my mind to it. Like anything else, it takes some up front effort to learn the basics and experience to learn the rest.
