They'll ask their parents, or look up cooking instructions on actual websites.
Cue 8 paragraphs of "I first learned to cook potatoes with my grandfather back in..." and every reader screaming "Oh my god just get to the recipe..."
Another advantage of cookbooks. (There are good ones, but a lot are junk.)
Holy shit yes, do yourself a favor and buy a copy of The New Best Recipe cookbook by Cooks Illustrated or How To Cook Everything by Mark Bittman, or even the old Betty Crocker cookbook is good, they're packed with every basic recipe you need. I don't even fuck with the internet for recipes anymore unless it's something more uncommon I can't find or something very specific.
