In this 6-week course, you’ll learn my simple systems and formulas to free yourself from recipes so you can save money, manage your time and cook healthy meals more easily every day.
Professional chefs don’t waste time following recipes every time they cook for their families.
And you don’t have to either.
Imagine having the freedom to look at your pantry and cook what you want - without relying on recipes!
Because recipes are based on formulas - that you can learn!
How long things take, which flavors work together, how to combine things, how sauces are made. These are all formulas that you can learn! And once you know the formulas, cooking is faster, easier and sooo much more delicious.
Cooking from recipes is hard, because those recipes weren’t written for you.
Internet recipe content is written for algorithms. The more they call for obscure or trendy ingredients, the better their ranking in Google. And the more unusual (aka time consuming!) the presentation, the more viral on social media.
And recipe writers don’t know you! They don’t know what ingredients you have on hand, how powerful your stove is, or how fast you can mince parsley.
So cooking from recipes takes extra time. You have to search for good recipes, hunt for the ingredients they call for, and then spend time checking back with the instructions the whole time you’re cooking. And they always take longer than they promise. (What’s up with that?)
So you can cook without recipes! And I can show you how ;)
Once you know the formulas, you can plan your own meals! You can cook the things that work for you, the things you have time for, the things your family will eat. The things you love!
