There are certainly recipes which are better than others for beginners. I believe I learnt how to cook and developed an intuition for it because for 2 years I cooked every day using one of the meal boxes subscription service, and the recipes were written for people who have no idea what they are doing. Exact recipes with plenty of pictures, and there was tonnes of variety too. Compared to some cookbooks that I have which will simply say "season to taste". Like.....what do you mean? Season with what? Etc etc etc.

And yes, blog recipes are the worst, but there are still excellent cookbooks out there, or even BBC Good food website has pretty good recipes without the bloat of people telling you their entire life story first
