Welcome to Cook Your Dishes!
Let’s cut to it. You want to learn how to cook for real — not just copy what someone did on Instagram. That’s why I started this site.
I’m Marcus Dean, and years ago, I couldn’t scramble eggs without a panic attack. I’ve been that guy eating sad microwave dinners and wishing I knew what to do with a raw chicken breast. Now, I host friends for real meals, coach beginners through their first roast, and still do it all with one pan and a solid spatula.
CookYourDishes is about real skills, real food, and real talk. This isn’t the place for trendy diets or kitchen gadget hauls. It’s for folks who want to get better, eat better, and stop wasting money on food that doesn’t taste good.
You don’t need to be perfect — just hungry and ready to learn.
At Cook Your Dishes, we keep it simple:
Teach real people how to cook real food — with confidence.
We believe:
- You don’t need a culinary degree to make great food
- Step-by-step instructions should actually make sense
- Every mistake is part of the learning
- Owning your kitchen means knowing what’s in your pan, not just following orders
From stovetop basics to game-day wings, I break it all down without the fluff. You’ll know what to do, why it works, and how to make it better next time.So stop watching other people cook and start doing it yourself.
You cook it. You own it.
