Common Questions
Find answers to questions about our classes, curriculum, and how the program works.
You'll need basic kitchen equipment: a good chef's knife, cutting board, mixing bowls, pots, pans, and a stove. That's really it to get started. The program teaches you techniques that work with any equipment level, and we discuss upgrades as you progress. Many students use the same tools they already have at home.
The curriculum is structured in modules, and most students work through them at their own pace over 3-4 months. However, you have lifetime access to all content, so you can move faster or slower based on your schedule. Some students move through the material in 6 weeks, while others prefer a more leisurely pace of a few weeks per module.
Both. The program emphasizes core techniques first because once you understand why and how to do something, you can adapt recipes endlessly. We provide specific recipes throughout the course, but the real value is learning to improvise confidently based on what ingredients you have available and the techniques you've mastered.
