GET STARTED WITH FRENCH COOKING.

The Complete Cooking Program for Beginners Who Want to Master the Art of French Cuisine.

Are You Feeling Overwhelmed by Trying to Learn How to Cook French Food?

I get it. It's not as easy as picking up a recipe and following it—there's so much more to mastering French cuisine. You need to grasp intricate processes, understand layering techniques, and develop a chef's intuition to create dishes that leave your guests speechless. These things are hard to learn on your own.

When I first started out ten years ago, these were some of my frustrations, and perhaps you can relate.

  • Spending hours on YouTube, only to get lost in conflicting advice, rushed tutorials, and unclear techniques.

  • Lacking the confidence to tackle complex dishes or add my own flair to recipes.

  • Feeling frustrated by recipe fails and not knowing what went wrong.

  • Sensing gaps in my technique knowledge but feeling at a loss about how to plug those gaps.

  • Feeling overwhelmed by the endless online recipes and not knowing which to trust.

I wish a beginner program like Get Started with French Cooking had been around when I started. Learning foundational techniques in a logical sequence, inspired by the best French culinary schools but tailored for the home cook, would have saved me years of trial and error.
