Essentials on Demand

Learn the skills of The Essential Series anytime, anywhere! 

Want to feel free in the kitchen and love cooking every meal?

This is the time tested magic that is The Essential Series, now on video and in your own kitchen! The Video Essential Series teaches all the Fundamentals of Cooking, with Chef John, in your kitchen, at your pace! This is a year of culinary school in just 12 hours and why Season to Taste was created; to transform your relationship with food and cooking!

In this comprehensive, hands-on, virtual class, you’ll have Chef John as your own personal guide teaching you all the ingredients, essential tools you need (as well as identifying the wasteful kitchen clutter that hinders your cooking), all the foundational cooking techniques, and most importantly the ingredient knowledge, philosophies, and ideologies to think like a chef, approach food in a whole new way, and get a deeper appreciation of food and beyond! Because that’s what it’s all about, right; enjoying your life to a deeper level and food is the medium that Chef John knows and uses to teach these ideals and skills! That might sound like marketing hype, but it is the truth! We see this transformation with each and every single cohort that comes through The Essential Series and are so excited to be able to share this truly life changing class in a way that is accessible to anyone!

Fundamentals = Freedom

Once you know the fundamentals in The Essential Series, you can cook any food, in any style or cuisine, with ever increasing skill, just like all professional chefs! It is not an understatement to say this will change your life!

The Essential Series utilizes the same approach to teaching professional chefs at The Culinary Institute of America (John’s alma mater) but has been redesigned for home cooks (because you don’t need to flambé table side or know how to carry a tray of martinis, to make a delicious dinner). Chef John infuses his practical knowledge, invaluable philosophies, and amusing stories from his quarter century in professional kitchens into the systematic approach where he learned these fundamentals at C.I.A. 20 years ago. The magic of The Essential Series comes in learning these skills and knowledge in a short amount of time to change your entire perspective on food and cooking.
