The problem with this is 1. it's a lot of work and 2. ingredients get wasted.
I am literally a cook in a fancy restaurant and these problems still make it hard to get motivated to practice at home. I think these issues are unavoidable to some extent and the solution to improving your cooking is just putting in the effort to learn. Luckily there is lots of room for imprecision in a lot of recipes and nearly everything you learn can be carried over into less time consuming dishes. And ingredients overlap so you'll know how to do multiple things with some basic staples instead of having random things you'll never use again taking up space.
I usually cook for me and my girfriend. When it's something new she either hates it because I've tried to kill her with salt, or she loves it and I teach her how to do it because I'm lazy and I want her to make it next time.
I haven't drank in a month, mostly because I've been working a lot. This might last another month as I've got a friend trying to find an apartment nearby and as soon as he gets back we'll go to the pub, it's a nice break which is what I intended. I got a promotion and a 500 euro a month pay rise and I will probably never risk showing up to work hungover again (not that I'd get fired, it would just be painful). My biggest problem in life right now is finding kitchen shoes that fit properly, since my old ones fell apart I've bought 3 pairs and I think I'll want a 4th soon. It's still a lot cheaper to buy them online and take the risk than to go to a shop and know for sure.
