Question

I am going to write my closest American friend here and I need some corrections if any. I would appreciate if someone can edit it too. Thanks!

This is where my letter starts:

I would just like ask some help on how to cook. I’ve been here in the US for over three months now and my husband did the cooking all the time. He’s always making breakfast, lunch, and dinner for both us. I feel guilty of it in some way. As a wife, I know it is one of my duties to perform. I can clean the house and do laundry but other than that, I am completely clueless.

What do u think I would do to start learning how to cook? I would like to start on quick meals and the easiest way to do it.

This isn't a grammar comment, but most Americans would wince at the word "duties" as it relates to being a wife. Perhas you can say "As his wife, I'd like to be able to treat him to some good homemade meals" or something like that.I can clean the house and do laundry, but other than that, I am completely clueless.

What do you think I should do to start learning how to cook? I would like to start on quick meals and the easiest way to do it. Let her tell you this part -- after all, you just asked for her advice.
By the way, I have a copy of an old "Sunrise Basic Cooking" cookbook that is now about 20 years old, and I love it. It has basic information about everything from cuts of meat to how to tell if a pancake is done. The recipes are basic and don't call for fancy ingredients. You also may want to try some children's cookbooks. I like them particularly for the basic ingredients they use. You're not looking around for fresh dill weed or other things you probably don't have in your house.
