Kitchen on Fire!
Mastering the Art of Cooking
in 12 Weeks (or
Less)
Olivier Said and Chef MikeC.
It’s late, you just got home,
you have Brussels sprouts, turkey, and milk in the fridge.
The last thing you want to do is go rooting through a
cookbook to find a recipe to fit the bill. That’s
where learning the Kitchen on Fire! techniques will really
help.
Mastering a particular recipe
is one thing: learn one recipe and you can cook one
dish. But knowing cooking techniques allows you to
be a master in the kitchen: it gives you the basis
to cook a whole universe of dishes, even if you only
have sprouts and turkey handy.
Chefs MikeC. and Olivier,
who have years of experience both in professional
kitchens and teaching home cooks across the country,
teach you how to become the best home chef in
12 weeks or less.
Addressing both the “how” and “why” behind
great cooking, Kitchen on Fire! teaches the underlying
methodology and alchemy of food, from the prep (cutting,
measuring, etc.) to the combining of ingredients, the
application of heat (stove, oven, grill, etc.), basic
food science, and much, much more.
