Ready to improve your cookery skills? Helping you Be a Better Cook is one of our most important missions.

We love to share knowledge from the experts with you to help boost your kitchen prowess.  And we’re delighted to be partnering with ProCook to bring you deep-dive recipes, tips, and insight into some of the most important aspects of food and cooking – all in a bid to help you be a better cook!

Master classic techniques such as making the five French mother sauces, perfect shortcrust pastry or a really good stock – or challenge yourself with one of our cookery projects. Learn to prepare roti canai and udon noodles from scratch or discover what makes caramelised white chocolate or burnt butter brilliant additions to your cooking. There’s also our Best of the Best series, where we take a deep dive into a classic recipe, examining how to make the best version of lasagne, carrot cake, fish pie and more.

Or, try a search: if there’s a technique you’re looking to tackle, we’ve probably got it tucked away somewhere on our site. It’s time to take your cookery skills to the next level!

We’ve got inspiring ideas for using up whopping 250+ different leftovers, too – from that little bit of blue cheese to the remnants of a roast chicken.
