I’d be lying if I said the end of summer doesn’t make me want to buy new pens and pencils and pristine notebooks, even though my school days are firmly in the rearview mirror. I like the idea of being a lifelong learner, and now cooking is the subject I study on a daily basis. And what a fascinating subject it is—culturally vast and ever changing, yet grounded in science. There’s always something new to learn, so I can be a student and a teacher at the same time. Whoa. If you’re like me, you’re looking for new learning opportunities. I suggest you go back to school—cooking school, that is. Regardless of your experience level, you’ll find new and interesting things to learn as you cook your way through over 300 courses in the America’s Test Kitchen Online Cooking School. This online program lets you chart your own curriculum and progress as you sample courses of all levels. Your teachers are long-time recipe developers at ATK and many are cast members of our television shows. Let Bridget Lancaster, one of ATK’s finest bakers, show you the ins and outs of making a [Chocolate-Espresso Dacquoise](. Learn [how to debone a leg of lamb]( from Ashley Moore. Interested in learning how to [cook under pressure with your multicooker]( Erik Haessler shows you how—from basic chickpeas to a full meal of lemony chicken and potatoes. Elle Simone Scott can show you what to do with the season’s best tomatoes—from prepping and canning to making a tomato gratin—in [Tomatoes 101]( a continuing series where we feature different techniques for cooking vegetables. Are you interested in entertaining? Joe Gitter flexes his mixologist muscles as he walks us through building a home bar and becoming proficient with classic cocktails in our [How to Cocktail course](. And I can help you handle your first big holiday meal with our [Complete Thanksgiving Game Plan]( comprehensive tutorial including a timeline and troubleshooting. If you’re interested in cooking and baking for just a few people, we can help you with that too. Sam Block demonstrates how easy it is to make small batches of timeless desserts in [Small Batch Baking](. And if you haven’t jumped on the air fryer express just yet, you might after watching Lawman Johnson make [perfect french fries]( with virtually no oil. I teach many courses in the cooking school, but I also develop the curriculum and produce the content with a team of talented, enthusiastic instructors. We’re excited about the courses in development this fall, including Savory Cooking with Fruit, Regional Pizzas, and Make-Ahead Appetizers. If you’re ready to go back to school, I hope you’ll join us.
