Kitchen Confidence
Chef-Driven Knowledge for Everyday Life
I created Kitchen Confidence as a place to share knowledge that truly makes life better in the kitchen and beyond. Every week, I break down ideas, tips, and chef-level insights that help you cook smarter, host with ease, and live more fully. From practical cooking techniques to entertaining strategies and product recommendations, Kitchen Confidence is designed to give you real value you can use every day.
Instead of rigid “plans,” you’ll receive chef-guided insights: recipes, tips, cooking methods, hosting strategies, and product guidance that build confidence and elevate your everyday experience in the kitchen.

Kitchen Confidence Volume 11 | The Wine Issue
This volume of Kitchen Confidence isn’t about wine snobbery—it’s about giving you tools you can actually use. From quick pairing rules you’ll remember, to rare-gem bottles you can find at your local grocer (with price points), to a Champagne cheat sheet that makes holiday shopping effortless, it’s designed to make wine approachable, practical, and fun. And yes—we also show you why the right glass changes everything.

Kitchen Confidence #10 Salmon, Done Right: Perfect Doneness, Skin-Off Searing, Knife Cuts, Sauces, Leftovers, Fat Facts, and Plating Tips
Salmon tastes rich and clean, cooks fast, and brings real nutrition: omega-3s for heart and brain health, high-quality protein, plus vitamin D, B12, and selenium. It works raw, seared, roasted, grilled, smoked, or poached. Master a few techniques and it becomes a weeknight staple and a dinner-party showpiece.

Kitchen Confidence Volume 9 Summer Eats
Sun-splashed flavors, zero fuss. In this Summer Eats edition of Kitchen Confidence, I’m ditching long stove sessions for quick-fire hits: smoky grilled peach-and-burrata salad, Baja fish-taco bowls that rival the coast, and cold sesame soba jars built for grab-and-go lunches. I’ve stacked the plan with frozen mango-lime pops, watermelon-Tajín snacking, and a cucumber-hibiscus gin smash for those golden-hour toasts. One 90-minute prep sprint, a week of bright, chef-level meals—plus pro tips on using my favorite Flammkraft grill to make every char sing. Dive in, savor summer, and leave the sweat to the Texas sun.
