This is some A+ advice. I highly recommend listening to this
I'll add Brain Lagerstrom as another youtuber to watch specifically because his recipes point out which shortcuts are and aren't worth taking
Additionally my advice I give people is taste all your food all the time. You should try every seasoning you own individually to know what it tastes like, same with sauces. Taste your food while it's cooking, go slow and adjust things. Always give a little taste before serving to know if it needs any final touches
Also you can save plating for later. If it tastes good people will overlook your presentation
Seconded, good advice from them.
I was just thinking about the egg thing before reading.
I managed a very nicely boiled eggs just now. Instead of heating them in cold water, I boiled some water in a kettle and poured it on them and then waited a min or two until it boiled properly again on the hob and then took five minutes and put them in cold water. The center of the yolk is a bit runny while the edges of the yoke are still firm enough and the white is just firm enough. These will go great on a sandwich mmm.
Or just by themselves, really. A little maldon salt on top, mmm. (That's a level up as well, changing from basic table salt to buying a bit of fancier salt for topping something. But man is it more costly per kg/lbs.)
