Cookling: Learn to Cook

Cookling is a cooking course for people who have never cooked, or who want to cook with more confidence. A friendly chef character walks you through your kitchen one step at a time, from washing your hands and cracking your first egg to full family meals. HOW IT WORKS - Pick what you want to learn. The Lessons tab has 19 categories: skills such as knife work, heat and frying, rice and baking, and cuisines such as Pakistani, Indian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Thai, Italian and Latin. - Every category has Easy, Medium and Hard tabs, and the big ones have sub-group chips (for example tea and drinks, or rice and biryani). More than 500 short lessons in all. - Nothing is locked. Open any lesson at any time. A "Next for you" card suggests a good place to go next, and search finds a dish or an ingredient. - Each dish is split into small steps. Steps explain what to do and why it works, so you learn the idea and not just the recipe. Tap Why? or Uh oh? when you want more. - Live cooking scenes you can tap: stir the pot, flip the onions, watch the food change as it cooks. - Big dishes such as biryani get a Plan card that shows what to start first so everything is ready together. - Built-in timers, servings scaling, and a mise en place check before you start. - After each dish, say how it turned out. Cookling suggests what to cook next. - A Kitchen Book that fills with colour as you cook, with a star for the dishes you cook again. - Mark the allergens you avoid, and Cookling highlights matching ingredients. This is a helper only: always read the label on the food you buy. SAFETY FIRST Cookling teaches the basics of staying safe in a kitchen: how to hold a knife, hot oil and pan safety, hand washing, and keeping raw and cooked food apart. Quick safety lessons are offered before the dishes that need them, and you can skip them. Please take care in your own kitchen. Cookling is designed for teens and adults. Anyone younger should cook with an adult. NO PORK, NO ALCOHOL Our recipes do not call for pork, bacon, lard, wine, beer or spirits. Where a recipe needs gelatin, it says to use halal-certified gelatin. Some shop-bought items, such as vanilla, soy sauce, mustard and chocolate, can contain alcohol, so the app teaches you to check labels. Cookling is not a halal certification.
