Absolute bare basics for a tiny tiny kitchen.

Question

I don't know how to cook, i just moved out and want to not have to rely on takeout (also i find the fact i don't know how to cook quite embarrassing).

My kitchen is tiny, has 1 cabinet (small), 1 shelve (decently large actually) and 3 drawers (all relatively small as well), no separate pantry, very small countertop, an induction stove with just 2 burners and no oven.

I own no pans, utensils, nothing, not even a toaster.

I know there are lists and whatnot in this sub but they are quite extensive and comprehensive and i need to know the absolute smallest you can go (it's seriously small guys) and still cook a decent range of options because i hate repeating meals too much.

EDIT: I have no issues in splashing some cash for quality, i moved in a small place by choice.
