My recommendation is J. Kenji Lopez-Alts “Food Lab”. It’s amazing for all skill levels, delicious recipes and explains why you should and how to do advanced cooking methods easily. It single handily took my cooking to the next level.

So I think it’s defensive projection. If they let down their wall of fear, they might have to come to terms with their insecurity. The fact that they have had queer thoughts and never came to terms with it. They hide their feminine/masculine/freaky side, I believe the entire conservative culture suppresses their true nature because they are trained to fear judgement. The more you attack a subgroup the more likely you do it out of insecurity. How many times have we seen the most hateful person towards LGBTQ end up having some freaky stuff hiding in the closet. If you have no healthy outlet, it can become a monster.
