Let’s start cooking together
You might want to feel more organised before you start cooking, or know what to do when a sauce doesn’t turn out as you hoped. I’ve made these free guides to help you with those moments, drawing on the work I do every day in my restaurant kitchen.
Start with my Calm Kitchen Starter Guide, or choose the 7 Sauce Problems guide below. Pick what would help you most- I’d love for you to try it in your own kitchen.
The Calm Kitchen Starter Guide
• Gather your ingredients and tools before you begin.
• Arrange your workspace so what you need is within reach.
• Plan what to prepare first and what to finish just before serving.
Before I begin cooking, I take time to get everything ready. Ingredients, tools and a clear workspace make a difference once the pans are on the heat. In this free guide, I share the everyday habits I use in my restaurant kitchen, so you can put them into practice in yours.
7 Sauce Problems-and How to Fix Them
A sauce can split, taste too salty, or feel like it’s missing something. This free guide brings together seven common sauce problems, with practical advice to help you understand what went wrong and what to try next.
Keep it nearby when you cook, so you have somewhere to turn when a sauce doesn’t go as planned.
