This is a great question though it does depend on individual tastes. I love to cook, in fact it is something my wife and I do together on weekends when it is cool enough.
We have the same tastes in food so that is not a problem. I like to experiment with recipes and my wife is more reserved when it comes to looking at a recipe and deciding to try it. I can look at a recipes ingredients and tell if they are ones we like or if I can substitute one or more for ones we like.
One of the things I love to do is to go to a restaurant have a meal and try to identify the ingredients then try to make it at home. I've become pretty good at doing this. At the moment we are working on a creamed cauliflower or mashed cauliflower we had once. We have the taste right but we need to stiffen it up as at the moment it is more like soup.
Japanese cooking is easy to do if you have a recipe and you do not need a wok. Most of the taste is in the prep and the way you prepare the (cutting) of the vegetables. German food is also easy to do, though it can be kind of heavy. French food is nice though some sauces can be tricky as they can break if the timing is off.
I learned to do most of what I cook by watching TV cooks on PBS and some of the food channels. There are also some very inexpensive cookbooks out there for beginners and intermediate cooks.
Recently my wife and I took a dive into baking. We made rolls, breads, both Italian and French. Then we decided to make Bagels. The first time with the Bagels was some what funny as they turned out to be mini-Bagels. We did better the second time.
Italian cooking is something I like to do and consider it my specialty.
Here's my version of chicken nuggets I made up on the fly many years ago.
Chicken breasts, boned and skinned
Bread crumbs, seasoned or not is fine
Flour
egg
milk oil
salt
pepper
paprika
garlic powder
Cut chicken breasts in to nuggets
season bread Crumbs with salt, pepper, garlic and paprika. Do so even if using a seasoned bread crumb. Season to taste.
Make an egg was out of the egg and milk
Dip the chicken in the flour, shake off the excess, then the egg wash and then the bread crumbs.
In a deep frying pan add enough oil to just cover or almost cover the chicken; this will depend on how deep of a fry pan you have. Heat the oil to just below cracking stage, about 350 degrees. Add chicken, don't crowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and remove to a drain cloth. Turn as necessary.
Serve with Duck Sauce and Hot Mustard.
