The overarching goal of this course is to make you a better, more confident cook overall, but the focus is on vegetables for several reasons. Vegetables are connected to the seasons and to certain regions, so they represent an authentic eating experience. Vegetables are also great for making your diet healthier. Furthermore, vegetables are sustainable and inexpensive. This lesson will focus on a single vegetable, carrots, which can be braised, simmered, grilled, and eaten raw.
