I really like this. Do you have any resources I can check out that cover this?

A good example is The Curry Guy. Dan somebody?

Make a huge batch of base curry sauce, and then with a few more ingredients you can make dozens of Indian and Bangladeshi dishes

He's got loads of recipes on his site, but his book is really useful in a kitchen

I started watching Babish & Weissman’s channels on YouTube during the pandemic. Both of them put out easy to follow videos, but they also include links to recipes in the video description, so you don’t have to write it all down.

The Basics with Babish videos are great because they show multiple dishes with a given protein.

I watch them both a ton, good stuff. Weissman can be a little snooty tho. K Keni Lopez-Alt is amazing 😍

Weissman does get a bit snooty & high priced at times. He also gets a lil too juvenile for my taste, but that’s my taste…

With his higher priced dishes, he does typically offer cost cutting options as goes through, which is nice.

I really like that both Babish & Weissman tell you why they’re using certain ingredients. That little bit of why helps me with substitutions if I ever don’t have or don’t like something used.

For sure, like some of his stuff is really good
