Best books / web sites for a real newbie of a cook?
I third How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. I too am a student just starting culinary adventures and this book has been very helpful. It has a great mix of the basics as well as more adventurous recipes, and lots of good information about ingredients, methods and equipment.

I'm the opposite of kmalldi - I haaate the texture of raw bananas, though the flavour is fine and I love them in smoothies. This is odd, since I do like many of the things that other people don't because of their texture - cottage cheese and jello for example.
My all-time nemesis is caraway seed. I have had many a good cheese and bread combination ruined by them.
