Just try your hand at cooking. Start with recipes and follow them to the letter. Simple ones like this are just that: simple. You'll be surprised at how easy it is the first time, and then times 2 - 20 will be a snap.
Also, pancetta is just salty peppery bacon. If you wanna get mostly the same flavor, just buy some bacon ends and add pepper to the pan when you fry it.-
also important, i think, especially when you begin to move past just following recipes by rote and into creating your own dishes, is not being afraid to fail. just... cook. the worst that happens? you goof it up, learn something in the process, throw it away, and go out or order a pizza. no big deal.
i hear it time and again, people saying they dont cook because theyre afraid of messing it up. dont be, theres no food police.

Agreed. It's cooking for geeks: it's good food, has a bit of a video game tie-in, and isn't terribly complicated. Anyone who can follow basic instructions and has full motor control should be able to do this.
Oh yes, and many thanks for not including tons of dumb jokes in the show. Not everything has to be funny. This is just plain interesting. Also, appetizing.
