subject: Number One Chef Secret Will Change Your Cooking Forever! [print this page] Have you ever wondered how a chef can be told to cook with a few ingredients and they can pull together a dish without using a cookbook? How is that possible? Its possible because there are chef secrets that we use in cooking every day. Theyre the same chef secrets that I teach in my online cooking classes. If you think about it, Im sure there are many things you can do very well without having to look for instructions each time you begin.
Think about it. Each time you get in your car to drive somewhere, do you have to take out the owners manual and figure out how to operate the vehicle? No, youve done it before.
If youre a golfer, do you bring an instructional video with you to review before each shot? No, youve internalized the steps you need to take to make your best swing. Is it always a perfect shot? No, but youre always trying to improve. How about if you did have an instructional DVD with you on the golf course? Then, would every shot be perfect? Still no.
So, why do people think if they have a recipe book, every meal will come out perfectly? In fact, you still need to practice, to know the basic cooking methods, the chef secrets that Ill share with you for creating amazing meals at home. These are the same secrets that students of Web Cooking Classes are using every day.
My first secret to learning how to cook, whether from a book, or cooking online will change the way you think about cooking forever. When Ive taught this first secret, it has given everyone a sense of freedom, and an instant reduction of cooking stress.
So, whats the first secret? Recipe books dont work. They dont work because the cookbook that youre reading doesnt know the size of your ingredients, the altitude in which you live, the true temperature of your stove/oven or how you like your food cooked. Only you know how you like your food to taste and only you can see signs while youre cooking to understand what to do next. This is why you dont see chefs pouring over cookbooks. They already know this secret.
Whether you take cooking classes online or in person, make sure that youre learning chef secrets or basic cooking methods and not recipes. Once you learn these chef secrets, you will understand the basic cooking methods you need to create delicious, healthy, exciting meals every night of the week without having to look at a single recipe!
