Cookbooks & Classes. Those are the two best things to use, to get you further on your path to Happy Cooking, and Happy Eating! And then of course, there’s the Chef Marian Cooking Club and the books that walk you through concepts of cooking!
It’s not easy to know how to cook without fear of failure. I remember procrastinating. I remember wishing I could. But now, after decades of trying, studying, experimenting and taking classes myself, I can assure you it’s possible. You can understand how and why Food is Your Best Medicine. You can go healthy or ‘decadent’ (when you want), and understand flavor balancing with salt, coconut sugar, herbs and spices (what to add, how much and why). And even if I change out recipes with healthier ingredients I always leave you with the same bangin’ good flavor profile!
There’s so much to it that I am still learning myself. But with all my traveling, tasting and classes I can give you what I know. I spent a year interviewing a nutritionist, to gather everything I currently know health wise, and of course, I am always updating my knowledge base. I traveled the globe for 3 years taking cooking classes, food & wine pairing classes, cooking in restaurants and eating at Michelin Star Restaurants developing my own palate. Plus I research every time I write our ChefMarian.com blog with over 800 entries over the past 15 years.
We are in the process of creating Chef Marian Kitchen Confident, a cooking portal that will answer your questions 24/7. It also let’s you take classes, whether you are new to all this or more seasoned. But asking some quick questions, we can evaluate where you are and what you need to learn.
