Spices and ingredients laid out

Hopping between recipes from five cuisines a week teaches you to follow instructions. Cooking one cuisine badly for a month teaches you to cook.

By week two you stop measuring the tadka. By week three you can taste when the masala needs acid instead of salt. That intuition transfers everywhere.

Pick one — Thai, Tamil, Tuscan — and commit to thirty days of mediocrity on the way to something real.
