Suggestion
Once a week, or once a day, show your family where vital items are stored, make an inventory, and write out recipes.
Once a week, or once a day, get your family to help with one small item of cooking preparation, not just laying the table.
If you are keen on cooking, share your tips with the family and record them for your descendants.
What do you do with leftovers? Stale bread? Nothing in the house but bread and butter and eggs and milk?
Bread and butter pudding was a traditional way of using up leftover, stale bread. Also very filling. Anything with wheat or oats or bread is sustaining, keeps you going, stops you snacking.
Not just a food for the poor. A food fit for a princess.

Bread and Butter Pudding
White bread. Cut off crusts. Soak bread. Soak sultanas in amaretto overnight or at least six hours. Whisk eggs. Add cream. Hm.
My version is easier. No alcohol. Soak bread in eggy milk mixture. Layer with sultanas. (Cut out cream, because I am on a diet.) Add optional lemon juice at the end. (Not too early. You have to avoid lemon juice curdling milk.) Grill the top if you like to get it crispy. Add sugar on top?And almonds? Depends how much sugar your diet allows.
Watch carefully to be sure it is not overcooked. Whatever the recipe tells you, your size pan, your thickness of bread, your oven, will make a difference.
Add bland vanilla custard, as an antidote to the sugar and to fill you up so you don't overdose on the filling bread.

Recipe Results and The Cook
When I was first married we belonged to a dining club. Six people, three couples. All had the same recipe and made two portions. The weird thing was that although we used the same ingredients and the same method, everybody's results were different. What was the difference? The oven. The cook. If you are not experienced, you can make the same recipe two weeks running and get different results.
As Napoleon said, five minutes makes the difference between defeat and victory.
