Recipe-Free Cooking Workshop

The Courageous Cooking School Presents

The Courageous Cooking Masterclass

A FREE, on-demand, step-by-step class on how to shift from cookbook co-dependant to recipe-free revolutionary

Recipes are great. Don't get us wrong. We're cookbook writers. BUT there is a better way to become a really incredible home cook, and think juuuuust a bit more like a chef.

We as cooks, are trained to follow recipes as they are the gospel according to <insert famous chef or food personality or family member here>. EVEN if we have that gene that makes cilantro taste like soap.

Why do we tie ourselves to recipes dictated by the tastes of others instead of trusting ourselves? Because we don't trust. our. capacity. all. the. time.

This is a human thing. BUT we want you to learn to trust yourself, and your tastes.

So! Let's throw the recipes out the window for a minute, and learn a step-by-step method to cook without them. And beautifully.

Cooking from the hip is not simply for the proverbial gods of the kitchen. It's for you.

We've taught over 5,000 humans online, and over 600 humans in-person how to do it. So we know YOU can do it too. We promise.

In this FREE four-part masterclass you will learn...

Why recipes often fail us, and how to approach cookbooks as reference texts rather than gospels according to Julia, Ina, or Alton
The myth of the perfect 'recipe'
A step-by-step method that will help you craft ANY dish or menu from scratch, using ingredients you have on hand.
The importance of sourcing quality ingredients and the SIMPLE cooking hack that will elevate ANY recipe (yours or otherwise)

Nice things people have said about us during our classes....

Who are we?

We're Kendall and Makenna! Makenna is the co-owner of La Pitchoune, the Host of Magnolia Network's La Pitchoune: Cooking in France, AND the founder of the Courageous Cooking School.

Kendall is Makenna's sidekick in the kitchen, an a chef with over 15 years of experience in kitchens–from butchery, to charcuterie, to fish mongering, to Starred Kitchens, she's done it all.

We met on the first day of Le Cordon Bleu, and immediately there was a 'knowing' between them. For years, the two went their separate ways, until they joined forces to run the the Courageous Cooking School Online together, and to make the in-person Courageous Cooking School the most AMAZING experience it can be. .
