Set a realistic goal for what you want to accomplish in the workshop
Setting a realistic goal for what I want to accomplish in the workshop is an important step to ensure that I make the most of my experience. Depending on the style of the particular workshop and my prior knowledge, I have to take into consideration how much time and effort it may take to complete my desired achievements. By setting a realistic goal, I give myself a manageable target that I can hopefully reach while still having plenty of time left over to explore other aspects of the workshop. Doing this allows me to structure my learning process by focusing on a single set goal rather than trying too hard too soon and possibly becoming overwhelmed by more complex topics.

Make a list of all the ingredients and tools you will need
Making a list of all the items you need to make a recipe is one of the most crucial steps in ensuring success! Start by gathering everything from ingredients to tools, and it’s important not to forget either. If you’re baking something that requires specific tools, such as a bundt pan, double check on your list to make sure you have it. Make sure to write down all the ingredients you will need and any specific variations, e.g., extra-virgin olive oil or light cream cheese. Then estimate how many measuring cups and spoons are required as well as any other kitchen utensils like whisks or beaters. Last but not least, don’t forget preheating the oven so your delicious dish will be ready on time!
Pre-measure all of your ingredients so that you can cook without stress
Cooking can be a great source of relaxation and joy, but it also can be a source of stress when you’re trying to cook a meal quickly and don’t have all of your ingredients pre-measured. To keep cooking an enjoyable experience, pre-measuring all of your ingredients before you start is essential. That way, the actual cooking process becomes easier and faster because you can grab each ingredient as quickly as possible without having to measure it out specifically. Additionally, your intuitive skills in the kitchen will increase as you go along if you’ve already pre-measured your ingredients – since you won’t need to worry about looking up exact measurements every time, so you can get into the flow more easily when throwing together directions for whatever dish you are making. Pre-measuring is truly a key element to reducing stress during the cooking process.

Follow along with the recipe step-by-step, and don’t be afraid to ask questions
Following along with a recipe step-by-step can be intimidating if you’re new to cooking. However, fear not – asking questions is an important part of the learning process. It’s okay to double-check measurements and terms that you don’t understand; many experienced cooks look up unfamiliar ingredients or techniques every once in a while! Don’t worry if it takes a while to understand the recipe, enjoy the journey of learning how to cook it!
