Learn to Cook Real, From-Scratch Meals — Without Feeling Overwhelmed.
Find Confidence In Your Kitchen.
Is this you?
You rely on takeout or packaged food more than you’d like to admit.
You buy groceries with good intentions, then watch them go to waste because you don’t know how to use them.
Recipes feel confusing or intimidating.
You want to cook, but don’t know where to start.
And everywhere you look, everyone else seems to have it all together but you.
Now imagine tonight, you go to your oven and pull out a fragrant, golden chicken and put it in front of your family. “I made that,” you think with pride.
This reality is closer than you think.
With a few simple steps and even simpler ingredients, you could put a whole-food, from-scratch dinner on the table for your family tonight.
And I can show you how.
The Beginner's Guide to Cooking from Scratch is a warm, unhurried four-part course with me, home cook and recipe author, Shaye Elliott.
You'll learn to roast a chicken, braise meat, prepare vegetables with care, and work a simple dough with your hands; four skills that make a kitchen feel alive.
Each part includes an instructional video and three recipes so you can put your new skills to work right away.
No intimidating techniques, no hard-to-find ingredients. Just real, nourishing food and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing how to make something delicious!
What You’ll Learn:
Lesson 1
How to roast a chicken and make it last all week long.
Lesson 2
4 methods for cooking any kind of vegetable.
Lesson 3
The “anything” roast and how to braise tough cuts of meat.
Lesson 4
A simple bread dough with tons of variations.
Cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated.
Look up “cooking from scratch” online, and you’ll get thrown straight into complicated recipes that assume you know the basics. That’s why so many beginners feel overwhelmed or give up entirely.
This course is different.
Instead of focusing on perfection or fancy photo-worthy meals, you’ll learn simple, foundational skills that actually make cooking feel doable for you and your family.
You’ll learn how to work with ingredients, build meals without stress, and feel confident in your kitchen — with experts you can ask questions to as a backup!
The Beginner’s Guide to Cooking From Scratch is designed for real life, real schedules, and real beginners — so you can finally stop guessing and start cooking with ease.

About Your Host:
Hello there, and let me offer you the warmest welcome. I’m Shaye Elliott, and I’ve spent the last 15 years cultivating a life centered around the home — growing our own food, cooking from scratch, and learning how to make the everyday both nourishing and beautiful.
What began as a desire to better understand what we were eating — and to feel more in control of it — quickly became a skill I deeply value and continue to refine. Along the way, I’ve learned that cooking doesn’t have to be overwhelming or complicated. In fact, it’s often at its best when it’s simple: a few ingredients you love, prepared well, in a kitchen you enjoy being in.
Through my work, I’ve had the privilege of teaching these skills to home cooks in a way that feels approachable, steady, and practical. We all have to eat every day, and it should feel like something you can do with confidence.
It’s my genuine delight to share this with you and to help you create a kitchen — and a life — that feels both capable and full.
Take the first step.
