Idea: start with the recipe, have the lessons based around explaining why the recipe contains certain ingredients, why they work together, how to prepare them (and why we're preparing them in that way). Would be much more informative than just seemingly random, often patronising trivia And it would also fill a niche that no recipe site seems to fill right now. It's almost impossible to find a recipe that actually explains why you're doing everything, why this ingredient works, etc. Knowing why an ingredient works opens the doors to substitution and recipe modification by the 'student', which is a great pathway to learning. And it would be a hell of a lot more engaging.
