A minimalist guide to learn the fundamentals of cooking.

80/20 Cooking is a self-paced course designed to help you learn how to cook.

Cooking isn’t nearly as difficult or intimidating as it’s often made out to be. You don’t always need recipes, exact measurements, or specific heat levels. You don’t need a perfect kitchen setup or expensive cookware. In fact, you don’t even need the exact ingredients or pots and pans a recipe calls for. All of that can be adapted.

What you need are fundamental principles, skills, and techniques that you can use to guide you towards the outcome you want, along with some sensory awareness and practice.

Learning how to cook changed my life and improved it in more ways than I can count. I believe that cooking well is a skill that anyone can learn. This course is my attempt to codify the fundamentals of cooking in a way that’s easy and approachable so that you, too, can more easily and more enjoyably cook healthy, delicious food at home.
