Why I am taking this online cooking course

I learned cooking basics from my mother growing up. Once on my own, I relied heavily on supermarket packets, bags, and jars—always adding fresh veggies but sticking to package instructions. Classics like macaroni stayed true to Mom's recipes. Later, I experimented more, now cooking largely by instinct, though recipes still guide specialty dishes due to lingering uncertainty.

Cooking University's course addresses that perfectly. In an early lesson, I discovered why steaming vegetables in minimal water enhances flavor—not just to save energy, as I thought, but to preserve taste. I've completed several modules and am gearing up for knife skills next.

For whom has the Cooking University set up this cooking course?

Ideal for beginners and seasoned home cooks alike, this course builds foundational techniques and advanced insights, like spotting fresh fish, gauging doneness, mindful cooking, and improvising with fridge leftovers. Any hobbyist aiming to level up will gain immensely.
