Recipes For Success is a class series I built for those who would like to go beyond simply following a recipe, it is for those craving to learn new, solid and proven techniques of cooking. Don’t get me wrong, recipes are great but, once you learn a technique you are cooking for life. After all it s the acquisition of skills that will make us better cooks.
Using a recipe to teach a technique is nothing new. The prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France, utilizes this pedagogy, so much so it is a hallmark of their curriculum.
This approach is, in fact, well outlined in one of the first cookbooks I ever owned, La Technique by the amazing Chef Jacques Pepin. In La Technique Chef Pepin shows hundreds of basic skills all while completing recipes.
Recipes For Success classes allow me to dig deeper into my experiential collection as a former dean of a top culinary school. I feel lucky that I am able to curate a portfolio of concise, impacting and technique rich recipes to share.
Each class in this series is roughly 90 minutes long and will consist of 1 to 3 recipes, depending on the list of techniques in each and the time of completion. All class descriptions state the primary skills involved with each recipe, so you know what you are getting ahead of time.
Priced at $35 per registrant, it is accessible to take one, two or more classes.
As you will see in the class descriptions, there is no food off limits. Sometimes the most basic foods are the hardest to master.
Our use of the Zoom platform, along with the audio and visual technology we now have in place in the kitchen, will give you an engaging and immersive experience. Having the recipes ahead of time allows for you to come prepared, ask questions and cook along with me and the others.
Got a question during class, did you miss a step or something we shared, no worries, simply ask your question, in real time, and we will answer it. Is your food not looking like mine, then turn your video on and I can see it from my massive 65” smart TV or from a computer at my cook station. I aim to build the best online experiences for you and me both.
It is my hope that Recipes For Success gives all participants the confidence they desire, to improve the experience of cooking and to make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable.
