Once you master essential cooking techniques, you possess the culinary grounding to cook both classical cuisines and the latest cooking styles. This class teaches fundamental skills, not recipes. Instead of narrowly focusing on a roast duckling recipe, for example, you’ll master roasting techniques that can be applied to foods from fish to fruit. You’ll learn all the important cooking methods, from simple grilling to mousse-making. As you advance, you’ll gradually come to understand each cooking concept. You’ll have a firm grasp of ingredients and equipment; you’ll know why things happen and how to avoid and correct mistakes. Most importantly, you’ll gain the experience you need to cook with confidence and pleasure – without relying strictly on recipes.
