Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment do I need to get started?
You'll need basic kitchen essentials: sharp chef's knives (8-inch and paring knife), a cutting board, mixing bowls, measuring spoons and cups, and standard cookware (pans, pots, baking sheets). The course reviews each piece and explains why quality matters. You don't need expensive equipment—proper technique is more important than having every gadget.
How much time should I dedicate each week?
Plan for 5-7 hours per week to work through the material and practice recipes. This includes reading guides, watching demonstrations, and cooking at least one recipe per day. You can spread this across the week at your own pace. Some students complete a week in 4 days; others prefer a slower approach.
Are the recipes only Greek-inspired?
While the course emphasizes Greek seasonal produce and Mediterranean techniques, you'll learn recipes from Mediterranean, Asian, and contemporary styles. The focus is teaching you principles you can apply to any cuisine. All recipes highlight local Greek ingredients available at farmers markets and produce shops.
Can I repeat weeks or go at my own pace?
Absolutely. The four-week structure is recommended but not mandatory. Many students repeat weeks to deepen their practice or move faster if they find the content intuitive. You have permanent access to all materials, so you can return to any section anytime to refresh your skills.

This course is designed for all levels, including complete beginners. Week One covers foundational skills in detail, including how to hold a knife, basic terminology, and equipment care. The progression is intentional, building confidence as you progress. No prior cooking experience is required.
Can I download the recipes for offline use?
Yes. All recipes are provided in downloadable PDF format so you can print or save them to your device. This makes it convenient to reference recipes while cooking without needing your phone or computer. You'll also receive a printable ingredient list for each week's recipes.
What's covered in the flavor-building section?
This section explores how to balance salt, acidity, herbs, spices, and aromatics. You'll learn why certain flavor combinations work together, how to taste and adjust dishes, and techniques for building depth without complexity. Practical exercises help you develop your palate and confidence.
How do the seasonal guides help with shopping?
Seasonal guides show you what vegetables peak in each month across Greek growing regions.
