I'd agree with the general sentiment above that our moms or dads, chefs and those uncles or whoever else has an interest in cooking are great resources for these types of questions, especially if you want to know what is available locally. It was only a generation ago for me that there was no doubt that it was mom in the kitchen and it's also true that I have a couple of uncles who were famous for their dishes despite their generation not typically favouring that way of being.
My dad had trouble frying an egg so was in deep doo doo when he had to live on his own as an adult for a while while traveling
So funny that this was true for such an otherwise renaissance person who loved to learn new things.
