Hello. I can't really taste or smell anything since birth.

Cooking for myself is fine but I only know texture is is good. It might taste unedible for all I know.

I will have to cook for other people at some point in future afterall. Any of you found a trick to use during covid or something?

Please tell me even if it's not that effective. I have no idea how to fix this. Thank you very much.

Find some simple recipes, and follow them to the letter. If it says to add something "to taste", just add a small amount of it and assume it's fine. As long as you aren't trying to invent your own dishes, or improvise somehow, you should be fine.
