Basic Cooking Skills Anyone Can Learn

This is a selection of simple recipes, cooking methods and what I find as essential cooking skills everyone should be able to easily do. We all start somewhere and never stop learning.

You will find bare basics like how to chop herbs or shallots properly. How to cook rice to perfection. Learn how to make simple Lacto ferments like sriracha hot sauce or classic sauerkraut.

Simple little salad toppers like oven-dried tomatoes and croutons always come in handy. Or knowing how to make fresh pasta, cook greens like broccoli, spinach and bok choy in different ways.

If you eat meat or fish you will find the perfect methods for cooking fish like salmon fillet or meats like a perfect ribeye steak. This resource constantly grows and new basic cooking skills are added regularly.
