A lot of community colleges are a good place to start, too. Many offer some sort of culinary classes, ours has a basic cooking class.

In the summer I do a lot of grilling. The rest of the year, too. I grilled a steak for my daughter's birthday on Thursday. It was 23 out, I stood there with a cigar in one hand and a glass of Maker's Mark in the other. She was impressed.
