Learn to Cook
Without Recipes!

Welcome to Cooking Is Easy, the easy-to-follow method for learning how to cook.

What is the "Cooking Is Easy" Method?

The idea is simple; Cooking comes down to basic techniques. How to slice an onion, how to make hollandaise sauce, or how to bread a chicken breast. A recipe is nothing more than a series of techniques that are used to create the recipe. Sometimes it's only one or two techniques. More complex recipes might involve many different techniques. Once you learn a basic cooking technique or procedure you will find that same technique used in thousands of different recipes. What makes any recipe unique is when a cook or chef applies these techniques and creates their own combination of flavors and ingredients to make it their own.

Some recipes have become famous. Usually because a well know chef at a famous restaurant created and named it. Lobster Thermador, Steak Diane, Quiche Lorraine and others. The dish is given an name and the name catches on. Quiche Lorraine is just one type of quiche. You could use an infinite number of different ingredients to make a quiche but the basics will stay the same. The cheese, the eggs, the milk and cream etc. Add ham instead of bacon, add onions, add zuchinni and so on. You don't have to be a chef to learn these techniqes. Once you learn them they become second nature and you may find yourself inventing recipes of your own.

How do you use Cooking is Easy Method?

Don't expect to learn it all in a weekend. The key is practice. Try one of the techniques we teach you on the video and cook something at least a couple of times. Learn the technique and then try it with different ingredients. When you learn how to apply that technique using different ingredients you can create a completely new dish. Once you know the basics you can begin to try new combinations of ingredients to create your own dishes. That's when cooking starts to get creative and fun. It's easy to get started because we give you plenty of ideas on the Cooking Is Easy DVDs and here on the website. So watch some videos and start cooking!
