Cooking is not dangerous, so no need to be AFRAID. Whats all this hush hush abt it ? Secondly, Cooking is not hard, difficult, out of the way... Cooking is FUN!! So much FUN :D well IMO of course before u all throw tomatoes at me :p
I use cooking as a stress-off factor.. very helpful. If u are really that scared, follow a recipe? It aint that hard, most of us can read and understand, thankfully!.. Just grab some stuff (according to the recipe of course), twist it around and voila u have the most yummilicious chocolate cake coming out of the ovn, now tell me whats better than THAT? a chocolate cake .. Sweetmoi's medication for everything!
