Cooking Techniques

Here you'll find the techniques behind my recipes: the methods I've relied on for 20 years as a professional chef. Learn them once and they work for whatever you're cooking, which is how chefs cook without following a recipe word for word.

Start with how to make any pan sauce, the one rule for crispy duck breast and how to make tough steak tender. Then learn to butcher a chicken, make salt-free vegetable stock, or use my formula for any salad dressing.
