This is a Q&A style podcast that is designed to help the everyday person cook smarter, not harder, in their home. If you struggle to put home cooked meals on the table because you think you don’t have time, or you believe you don’t have the skills, or maybe your living situation does not give you access to a proper kitchen, then this podcast is for you. I am going to be sharing with you all of the tips and tricks that I have learned working as a chef in the restaurant industry, and how I use those techniques to cook more effectively in my own home.
