About this class

This online basic cooking course is 20 lessons on judging product before you cook it. It opens on seasonality and sourcing, then tests that against a cooked artichoke and a potato purée.

Meat and seafood follow: beef cuts, a blade steak broken down, a tenderloin pan-fried, a short rib brined and cooked sous-vide, then spotting fresh seafood and filleting flat and round fish. Eggs close it, five ways. You leave able to buy well and judge fast, the skill under everything else in Gronda’s Essentials line.

What the community says

Valentin Schütz
Perfect sauce for our cinnamon rolls!
Keren Schoss
Is it recommended to add olive oil to the butter to keep it from burning?
Jules Cooking
I use butter on purpose so the egg cooks with that rich, nutty flavor. If you’d rather avoid any risk of burning, add a bit of olive oil to raise the smoke point.
