If so, the time has come for you to be the culinary expert you’ve always wanted to be. We’ve teamed up with online masterclass platform Learning with Experts to bring you a series of online cookery classes designed to help you excel in the kitchen. These masterclasses go into so much more depth than basic how-to videos. Based on the idea of a ‘classroom community’, you’ll be learning alongside others, and there’s also the option to have your progress tracked and marked by Good Food experts Cassie Best and Barney Desmazery and team. [Get more info]( Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in Cassie’s Essential Cooking Skills class: 1. Knife skills. Nothing screams ‘top chef’ like someone who can work a blade. In her first lesson, Cassie teaches us how to chop like a pro, experimenting with slicing batons and then dicing, julienning, brunoising, and chiffonading. 2. Cooking fish and seafood. Great seafood needn’t be just for dining out. In this next lesson, Cassie talks us through everything from buying fish to prepping and barbecuing. Also, discover the differences between round and flat fish and how they should be prepared. 3. Make great curries and dhals. Step away from curry sauces in a jar and instead master the art of creating a balanced spice mix, get tips on marinating and marinades, and make a tarka to flavour a dhal. Cassie gives us tips on buying spices and how to keep them in peak condition. 4. Up your baking game. Learn to make choux pastry and eclairs, bake crowd-pleasing cookies and master macarons and madeleines. Cassie also evaluates gadgets for baking and takes you through the equipment you’ll need, plus how to test the temperature of your oven. Get all four of Cassie’s lessons for £29, or develop your learning further with marked assignments, personal tuition, and interaction with Cassie Best and the Good Food team for £109.

Making and maintaining your starter. In his first lesson Barney talks us through what sourdough is, why we make it and why he prefers it to commercial bread. He also discusses the basic baking tools you’ll need, debunks sourdough terminology and goes through the different types of starter and flours. 2. Basic sourdough loaf. Here we learn step-by-step how to make a basic loaf using the no-knead method. Barney goes into detail on everything from timings to cooling and storing, and how to fit bread baking into your busy schedule. 3. Sourdough next steps. This lesson focuses on varying hydration, shaping doughs into classic shapes (including boules and batards), and how to score a loaf. Barney also talks about adding different flavours and grains and how doing so will change the outcome of your bake. 4. Beyond loaves and theory. Lastly, Barney takes us through other uses for sourdough, including pizza bases and flatbreads. He also touches on sourdough leftovers and what to do with stale bread.
