Every dish that you learn in this course is technique-driven and highly customizable. So you’ll walk away having mastered new dishes, but you’ll also learn key cooking techniques that apply across a range of recipes. These techniques can be used as starting points for all kinds of things you’ll cook in the future.
Learn to think like a chef
Our teaching sessions will focus on the principles that make great cooking. Learning to follow recipes will only get you so far in cooking — I will teach you how to think like a chef. When you understand the high-level art and science of cooking, you’ll be able to confidently cook from a place of intuition, troubleshoot on the fly, and enjoy the process far more.
Save time
Many people complain that cooking at home takes too much time. The truth is that there are core skills that, once mastered, make the whole process faster and easier. You can become more effective, more organized, and produce amazing food in less time.
Save money
Cooking at home is one of the best ways to avoid overspending on restaurants and packaged foods. When you learn how to cook, you no longer become reliant on restaurants to feed you— you can cook amazing food at home that tastes better, is healthier, and saves you money.
Build a new creative skill
In an increasingly digital world, cooking at home is more important than ever. Cooking is a tactile, sensory, creative experience that gets you away from screens, allows you to tap into the present moment, and stimulates your creativity. Once you break free from the constraints of recipes, you’ll open up a whole world of creative expression through food.
Enjoy the process more
When you master the fundamentals, the process of cooking becomes far more enjoyable. You’ll be more organized, more in control, and less stressed. You’ll learn to cook from a place of intuition so that you can adapt recipes on the fly, fix problems that arise, and allow your creativity to emerge.
I was born into a family of food lovers and cooks — my mom is a classically trained chef — but it wasn’t until college that I began to really explore my love of cooking.
I attended a short cooking school program in Mexico City, then cooked professionally at Hartwood, a wood-fire restaurant tucked into the jungle in Tulum, Mexico.
I loved cooking professionally, and I learned a ton from the process, but I’m most passionate about home cooking.
I believe that home cooking is the best way to save money, eat healthier, improve your social life, and express your creativity. My mission is to share the beauty of home cooking with as many people as possible by making it accessible and enjoyable.

"About a month out of working with Myles, I’m able to walk into a farmer’s market open minded, leave with the freshest or most interesting ingredients, and whip up a meal that impresses me every time (and the people I serve it to). Cooking this way is a blast."
— Jack Craddock
"I loved this course, learning the pan sauce and frittata blew my mind in terms of what I was capable of. Myles down to earth and inspired approach to cooking is infectious and has helped me become a lot more excited about future cooking experiments."
— Paul Millerd
"My girlfriend and I took a cooking course with Myles, and it was fantastic. Myles wasn't just a good teacher; he was a great host. He didn’t just give us recipes but taught us how to trust ourselves in the kitchen.
We learned a lot, and the way each class built on the last one really made sense. The way Myles set up the course, where we'd read and prep before the actual cooking, worked really well for us. His way of thinking about cooking just clicked with us. And using the Circle platform? Spot on. If you want to get better at cooking and enjoy the process, Myles' course is the way to go."
— Gonzalo Sanchez
"I attended Myles’ 80/20 cooking class, and it was not only a great experience, but a wise investment of my time and money as well. I signed up because I am trying to cook more at home (aren’t we all), but have always felt stressed by always having to follow recipes.
I never understood the “why” of the recipe steps, and just followed the recipes blindly, which often resulted in tasteless food and a stressful time in the kitchen. Myles’ class taught me that it was okay to loosen up in the kitchen which resulted in a more relaxed, fun time in the kitchen. I also learned the “why” of certain cooking steps, which really helped me to experiment on my own. Last but not least, Myles is a great teacher - he was able to teach absolute beginners (like me) as well as more experienced individuals in his class - and we never felt like we were asking dumb questions! Highly recommended."
— Andrea Chang
“Myles's 80/20 course freed me from the tyranny of working off of recipes. I have always loved to cook, but totally lacked confidence. I was wedded to recipes and would freak out if I had to vary anything at all. But by focusing on techniques and outcomes rather than recipes, Myles completely changed — not just the way I cook — but my entire relationship with the process of food preparation — from planning to buying to prepping. I now feel comfortable in the kitchen, either free-wheeling a meal, or using a recipe as a guide. And the outcomes have been amazing! I'm just so much more relaxed and confident in the kitchen. Plus, Myles is super cool and knowledgeable and amazingly attentive to the students, answering all the questions asked. It's an amazing class that I will one day gift to my kids! Can't recommend it enough!”
— Andrew Wohlberg
"80/20 Cooking is one of the best classes I've ever taken. I've been eating white rice with ground beef and bell peppers everyday for almost ten years and I desperately wanted to learn how to prepare better meals. I tried cooking in the past, but always saw it as a chore, because each recipe I tried had 15 different ingredients with 12 steps and two hours of prep time just to make one meal, so I kept falling back into my bodybuilder/meal prep routine of cooking an entire week's worth of food in less than two hours that tasted like cardboard. After discovering Myles on Instagram I immediately knew his approach was different. He is the only person I've been able to find who actually teaches you "how" to cook. The course is a goldmine of guides and video demonstrations focusing on techniques and processes with live cooking demonstrations and learning sessions. Now I can have the best of both worlds. If I have a busy week, I can meal prep large amounts of food using the methods I learned from Myles, and if I have more time, I can slow down and create some really interesting flavors. Overall, great investment. Worth every penny."
— Joshua Maupin
"I've always identified as a person who loves to cook, and taking 80/20 Cooking with Myles has been a game changer for me in making better food from scratch. Before the course, I was a more rigid home cook, one who was over-reliant on following recipes to a T. This made it hard to know how to troubleshoot when a recipe inevitably missed the mark, so I'd often end up back in the comments section of a recipe to look for advice from others. Drawn to this course's focus on the foundations of cooking, I found myself falling back in love with food, made simply and sourced locally, during our four weeks together. I walked away with both skills and knowledge I now apply in my daily life, from the role of seasoning and heat to the importance of mise en place and a well-equipped kitchen. I cooked my ass off during the month and came out hungry (pun intended) to learn even more. Whether you're just starting out on your home cooking journey or are already a meal prepping machine, taking time to learn and apply the food fundamentals offered in this course will take you–and your taste buds–even further."
