3 milestones
Start a cooking log: for every dish you cook from scratch, take a photo of the plated result and write 50+ words about what technique you used, what went well, and what you would do differently next time. The first ten dishes must span at least three different cooking methods — not ten versions of pasta. Good categories to distribute across: dry-heat methods (pan-fry, roast, bake, grill), wet-heat methods (boil, simmer, braise, steam), and egg or protein preparations. The log is the proof, not your opinion of the dishes.
Proof required
Submit your cooking log showing the first 10 dishes: each entry must include a photo of the plated dish, the name and source of the recipe (cookbook, website, or family recipe), the cooking method used, and at least 50 words of honest notes about what happened — including at least one thing to improve next time. Entries must span at least 3 different cooking methods.
What gets checked
- 10 distinct dishes are documented — not 10 portions of the same recipe or 10 variations of one dish; stir-fry vegetables and stir-fry chicken count as one method repeated, not two distinct techniques
- At least 3 different cooking methods are represented across the 10 entries — for example, pan-fry, roast, and simmer; 10 boiled dishes with different ingredients do not satisfy this milestone
- Every entry includes honest improvement notes — 'it was good' or 'turned out well' is not sufficient; notes must name a specific thing to change or improve in the next attempt
