Make-Ahead Appetizers

In this course, we divide appetizers into three categories to help you space out the planning and execution of your party. This translates to a full array of appetizers for guests to choose from, all executed perfectly and at the right time and temperature. By planning (and cooking) ahead, you'll be able to enjoy the food—and your guests too! But no matter how well you plan, emergencies or spills can happen. We'll share a few of the pantry essentials we like to keep on hand for last-minute events or appetizer calamities. And finally, we'll walk you through recipes for Slow-Cooker Glazed Cocktail Meatballs, Devils on Horseback, Southern Cheese Straws, Spinach Squares, and Broccoli Dip in a Bread Bowl.

Boiling and Simmering

Boiling and simmering are two of the most basic—and useful—cooking techniques. You probably know that they both use hot liquid to transfer heat to foods—but there are important differences between them. In this cooking class, you will learn these differences between boiling and simmering, and when to use each technique. You will also learn how to use them to boil pasta to the ideal doneness, and simmer rice without scorching it. We will break down and demystify the processes to cook dried beans from scratch and blanch vegetables to preserve some snap in each bite and retain natural nutrients. The course also covers the kitchen equipment you need to execute these two cooking techniques at home, including our recommendations for the best Dutch oven, stockpot, saucepan, and colander.

How to Stew and Braise

How to stew and braise is a comprehensive class that covers what we call combination cooking: when you brown meats or vegetables, then cook them in liquid at a low temperature. While braising can take place in a slow cooker, we like the added benefit you get from browning the meat in the pot first, then transferring the pot, meat, and liquid to the oven. This is one-pot cooking at its best. And you can build flavor along the way with the addition of umami-packed ingredients such as soy sauce and mushrooms. You will learn how braising is done, how much liquid to use, and how it tenderizes meats. You will discover when to braise with the lid on or off, and what the difference is between braising and stewing (hint: big pieces of meat vs. little pieces of meat). Learn about our top picks of meats for stewing and braising and how to shop for them, and be sure to check out our how-to videos on how to prepare meat and chicken for stews and braises. Finally, understand how to avoid common mistakes so that your dishes turn out perfect every time.

The online cooking course also includes instructional videos that demonstrate how to clean and store herbs, how to prepare thyme, and how to chiffonade basil, and more.
