ChefSteps

Welcome to ChefSteps. We’re glad you are here. We are a bunch of chefs, scientists, writers, photographers, and video makers who love to cook and feed people. Every day—in our kitchen studio in Pike Place Market in Seattle— we are roasting chickens, baking cookies, making posset, and milk washing punch. Once? Oh heck no. We are testing dozens of different iterations of each dish to make sure we can give you the ultimate version of each recipe. Our #1 goal at ChefSteps has been to make people like you happy, always. We know that you are smart, curious cooks who love to take on new cooking projects. You want more than recipes; you want to understand the science of what is happening when food is transformed. You grow excited about the prospect of new discovery. We love this work. And we want to get you cooking. You can rely on the recipes we give you, since they are based on understanding the science of cooking and baking, rigorous testing, and a deep passion to inspire you to move into the kitchen. We want you to find joy in your food. We have been at this for awhile, so our website has a huge catalog of recipes that work, classes in specific topics like <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/classes/coffee">brewing incredible coffee at home</a> and <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/classes/french-macarons">making French macarons</a>, and tips and tricks the chefs have learned after years of cooking on the line in restaurants around the world. Since we have done so much in the past, finding your way around this website can be a little overwhelming. We want to offer you a pathway to enter this site. Explore the site. Try making some food that captures your attention. Come back and ask the chefs questions, if any arise. Then, come back for more. We’re happy you are part of our community.
