RecipeKick, an Okay, Perfect brand, is a live-streamed, mostly recipe-free cooking platform reigniting the love affair between home cooks and their kitchens. Formerly the Courageous Cooking School, the RecipeKick platform boasts nearly 1,000 members (and growing daily!) and 10,000 minutes of quality content. 

Our instructors lead sessions where students learn foundational techniques, flavors, and principles - not rigid steps. We call it the Courageous Cooking Method, and it's all about embracing what's seasonal and abundant, whether from the farmer's market or your fridge. This approach helps cooks gain skills and the freedom to trust their intuition.

With new classes added almost daily, there's always something fresh simmering in the RecipeKick kitchen. So if you want to fall back in love with your kitchen and cooking, come join the RecipeKick community. We're helping home cooks and experienced chefs everywhere rediscover the magic and meaning that happens when good food and good company come together around the table.
