COOK + SMARTS is a small business based in California’s Bay Area offering personalized cooking classes to address the kitchen challenges that we all face. Our company works with the diet restricted (e.g., gluten-free, vegetarians, etc), parents with busy schedules, bachelors and bachelorettes cooking for one, newlyweds, and really anyone that is cooking challenged. We take all that experience and knowledge and share it through this blog to make your life in the kitchen happier, simpler, and smarter. It is written for *you* so that you can gain a true understanding of how to cook. Our goal is to offer more than just recipes but a practical framework to approach meal making and cooking.
Some of the series you’ll find on this blog are:
- Cooking Formulas: We teach you the basic methods of cooking to free yourself from the burden of recipes
- Ingredient Spotlights: We highlight ingredients and quick, easy ways to cook with them
- Dear COOK + SMARTS: Launching soon! We will provide answers to your most common and / or toughest cooking challenges
