You may have noticed we use the words “learner” and “learning” a lot. Well that’s because, as teachers, we’re in the learning business. It’s something that even we, as chef-instructors, do every day.
But like you, I started from scratch. And like you, I screwed up my fair share of dishes (still do, by the way).
Yet everything changed when I entered my kitchen practice with not only more basic knowledge flowing from my mind to my hands, but when I also channeled my strengths as a learner. For, like you, I had developed skills and strengths outside of cooking that made me very successful. But it was bringing that resilient attitude into the kitchen that was the game changer.
Sorry to say, but there’s no magic sauce or simple formula to great cooking. You know this is going to take practice.
And let’s discuss the kinds of practice in a kitchen education that no-one’s talking about.
You could say that what we teach is a learning method. You could even say it’s a learning attitude. Regardless, we are confident that it will change your life in the kitchen.
