Six modules · Self-paced · $297
Soups
Nourishing, storage-friendly soups. Bulk cooking at its best. Make a big batch, pack it into mason jars, put some in the fridge and some in the freezer, and you're set for weeks.
Sauces
The secret to flavor that doesn't come from a jar. Pestos, chimichurris, dressings. A good sauce turns the same base prep into a new meal every week.
Meat Basics
Sear, braise, bulk prep. Simple, confident technique on the stovetop or in the oven, so you can impress yourself, your friends, or whoever it might be. Chicken thighs that hold their moisture, steak with a perfect golden sear, and a week of meat prepped in one afternoon.
Salads & Pasta
Vibrant salads and perfectly cooked pasta. How to cut vegetables so every bite is enjoyable, how to source the best ingredients you can find, and how far really good olive oil, lemon, and salt will take you.
Essential Tools & Setup
Exactly what a therapeutic chef keeps in the kitchen, and what you can skip. No unnecessary gadgets, just the real working list. My knife, my cutting board, and my parchment paper are my closest friends in the kitchen.

From people who've cooked with Jake
Jake has a gift for making cooking feel easy. His love for food is contagious, and I really appreciated his ability to bring techniques down to beginner level. He has wonderful suggestions for replacing ingredients if you have allergies or medical needs. He has broadened my horizons in the kitchen and grocery store!

Jake has a contagious energy and positive spirit! His love of cooking shines through his friendly approach to cooking. He never ceases to amaze me with the way he makes it so easy for us to eat healthy. I love how he can take any of your favorites and make them healthy. Not to mention his amazing recommendations for knives, pans, and I now eat the best cut of steak thanks to him :)
