Revelation: noun, a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way
settings
Becoming a great home cook doesn't require a recipe. In fact? Cooking is a revelationary act, particularly when you ditch the recipes and cook from the hip.

For years, we've been sold a lie, that recipes are how everyone must cook. That a 'perfect recipe' is the best, and easiest path to home cook culinary success.That you should trust a book more than yourself.
And we at
The Courageous Cooking School
are done with that.

Your practicedintuition is better than any book. You know what you're doing (even if you don't know it yet).

You CAN cook. And, FACT, if you enjoy eating, you're naturally inclined to be great at cooking. (Maybe not baking, but cooking? Heck yeah).

Courageous Cooking is about building your capacity to cook well, one dish at a time, from the comfort of your own home. But just like a good meal,
it's better TOGETHER.

The goal of Courageous Cooking School Online?
settings
To take you from home cook to home chef, building skills from the ground up, and cultivating your capacity to cook what's in season, with limited waste, and MAXIMUM flavor.
Also? There's a great community of people who cook from the hip- from intuition and joy rather than breaking under the pressure of following a recipe as the written gospel from the church of culinary arts.
Together, we talk about food, our favorite 'recipes', and learn from experts in the field kitchen.

We're not just a virtual cooking school, we're a community .

Unlike many other online cooking schools, we aren't providing you a series of static videos. Yes, we have that too. From everything from knife cuts to braises to discussions on our favorite ingredients and more.
BUT! The best part? Our WEEKLY lessons are interactive, and live!!!! (We post recordings too)
You help us choose what you want to learn, and we cook along WITH you. While we have a fully baked in curriculum too, that walks you through EVERY type of cooking we could fathom, we're focused on community and connection.

Words from our online cooking school participants:

I want to thank you all, at the Courageous Cooking School, for having such great classes via Zoom. I am a home cook , lover of good food and drink, and enjoy entertaining my friends and family. Makenna and the team have a completely unique approach to cooking. It’s fun, relaxed, and delicious! Every class is filled with great tricks and tips for the novice to the experienced cook. All those cooking along with Makenna and Dom, were treated with great respect and no question was too trivial.
The end results of each class was awesome! I urge any foodie out there to join in the fun!

The Courageous Cooking School's online classes have become an absolute blessing during lockdown, but it's the lifetime of mastering the art of recipe-free cooking I am most excited about. With the Cordon Bleu-trained Chefs' focus on the principles of foods and flavors such as mains/compliments/contrasts and the chemistry of fat/acid/salt/aromatics, I know my home cooking will be elevated to levels I haven't even imagined yet. One day I'm sure to step food in the famous Provençal summer home and kitchne of Julia Child where the physical school resides, but for now, I hope to learn as much as possible through their online programs. LOVING IT!
