Basic cooking.

You don't need to be Gordon Ramsey, but in a pinch, know how to make pasta, chilli and a few other things.

Is chilli considered basic? Spicy food is not that common where I live. For me the basics would be to know how to:

-Peel and cut veggies

-Boil stuff

-Fry eggs

But maybe it's a cultural thing! I'm interested in knowing what you're doing with your chilli peppers ;)

I think they mean Chilli as a dish, often a meat stew

Basic chili recipe (people from texas can bite their tongue for five minutes one time):

  • beans
  • tomatoes
  • onions
  • peppers

A little bit of cumin and salt to taste and you actually don’t need anything else to get something that is recognizable as chili.

I add all sorts of other stuff, but that’s the basics.

Oh i meant chili as in American chili. Beans and ground beef.

Basically, just knowing how to make something easy for a quick meal if you need to.

I'll just say I am lucky enough to have been the child in my family who learned to cook from my mom, but I can certainly agree people should know at least the basics.
