Would you like to learn to cook better? Check out the cooking university.

For lovers of good food who feel that they can still learn something in the kitchen, there has recently been a great online cooking course from the Cooking University. I took a look at this course to tell you more about it. And of course because I can also learn a lot myself 😉 . Even though the rest of my family likes the daily fare and my slow cooker recipes quite tasty, I would still like to be in the kitchen with a little more confidence.

Why I am taking this online cooking course

I learned the basics about cooking from my mother when I was young and still living at home. Then -when I just started living on my own- there was a long period when I prepared everything with the well-known packages, bags and jars from the supermarket. Of course with the necessary vegetables, but almost always according to the recipe of the package. Except for macaroni and nasi and the like, because I did that my mother's way. It was only much later that a period came when I started trying out a bit more myself and nowadays I do a lot more by feel. Only when it comes to special things I still tend to look for recipes. As a result of a bit of uncertainty I think.

You can improve the latter and much more at the Cooking University with this online cooking course. Already in one of the first lessons I learned something new. Namely why it is best to cook your vegetables in a little bit of water. Of course I had already learned from my parents that a small layer of water was sufficient, just not for this reason. I was always under the impression that a small layer of water was used to save gas. But now it turns out that it also does a lot with the taste of your vegetables.

In the meantime I have enjoyed following a few lessons and I am almost ready for the different cutting techniques.

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

This cooking course is not only available online for the novice kitchen prince or princess, but is also of added value if you already have a good foundation. You will not only learn the basic techniques, but also, for example, how to recognize fresh fish. Or how you determine the doneness, can cook more consciously and also how you can cook without a prescription with what you still have in your fridge. Any hobby chef who wants to improve his cooking skills will benefit from this course.

You don't learn this other way of cooking from the slightest, because the Cooking University was set up in collaboration with Michelin star Restaurant ML. You will also be taught by the chefs who work in that restaurant, including one of the owners, Mark Gratema. Nice detail:he started 'in the past' as a dishwashing assistant. So I still have quiet hope for Luc who has already had a number of dishwashing evenings at the local catering industry 😉 .

The entire online cooking course is nice and 'ordinary'. No frills, no slick videos, just videos made by hardworking chefs who want to teach us about their passion. I love it.

Parts of the cooking course

You can roughly divide the courses into a number of segments:

  • Basic techniques (including cutting techniques and preparation of vegetables, meat and fish)
  • Cooking without a recipe (including about healthy cooking, developing your own recipes, routines, creating contrasts in dishes and planning)
  • Desserts &ice cream

By the way, you have plenty of time to take this course online and learn to cook in a different way. You get permanent access and can get started at your own pace! In addition, you get a 14-day money-back guarantee!

The aim of the Cooking University is to ensure that you and I develop more confidence in cooking with their online cooking course. By applying handy techniques and learning to cook healthier.
