> But put yourself in their shoes: if you wanted to learn how to make a Botan shrimp nigiri (perhaps that's new to you), how would you learn about sushi rice, how to buy live shrimp, how to fillet the shrimp, preparing wasabi, etc? We hope this model can apply
I typed "botan shrimp nigiri" into Google and got detailed videos showing me how to prepare, fillet, cook the shrimp. Most full recipe videos explain side bits about what to buy and things like that.
> The dirty secret is that by the time you get to the end of the quizzes, you'll already know how to cook the hamburger. The recipe is ridiculously elementary.
Here's where I think there's a disconnect.
Why would someone not start with a recipe which shows most of this and then look up the bits they are missing?
You seem to be then targeting someone who wants a broader base understanding of cooking at home, so why would a basic cooking course not be the structure?
- mattbrewsbytes 4y agoAmplifying your comment, this seems like a huge disconnect that they are assuming a beginner home cook is going to do everything from scratch. > how would you learn about sushi rice, how to buy live shrimp, how to fillet the shrimp, preparing wasabi Buy pre-filleted frozen shrimp and ready made wasabi and tips on taking regular rice to a sushi rice quality. The goal for a beginner should be the easiest path to success and with cooking that is a meal that was safely prepared. Then build on that later - like if they like spicy these are some things to try.
