Recipes

There is no fluff here. No storytelling, just to the point ingredients and bullet point methods. There is no need for a “jump to recipe” button. The recipes are always at the top. There are video links to make things crystal clear. There is a button below each video. Click on it to open a pdf of the recipe for easy printing.

A recipe is a guideline, except in the case of baking. Baking requires following recipes/measurements. Cooking has principles. Here you will learn concepts and principles to expand your culinary foundation. When you understand the principles of cooking, then you will have the ability to bend the rules with success. The goal is to eventually eliminate recipes, outside of baking, and become creative and self-sufficient in the kitchen.

Learn how to look at a recipe and see where there is room for interpretation; and how you can twist it based on your own creativity and preferences. Build the confidence to enter your kitchen without a recipe; to open the refrigerator and be able to put something together that tastes good and is easy to prepare.
