The Food Jazz Mindset
🚀 You can cook meals faster than DoorDash delivers!
🪷 Cooking is relaxing and empowering
🪄 You are a Kitchen Magician! Impressing your community and even yourself..
Take Cooking off the Back-burner
You are probably here because you haven’t found a way to fit cooking into your busy schedule.
Maybe have even convinced yourself that cooking isn’t important?! (Hint: It will transform your life in all the good ways)
Guess what? It’s not your fault.
Modern society makes it almost impossible to get your bearings in the kitchen. And before you know it you feel like you are in too deep to ever learn.
Not everyone can go to culinary school. Not everyone has a grandma Yoda to teach them the ways of the kitchen.
In a world filled with more cookbooks, TikTok recipe tutorials and dumpling workshops than stars in the Milky Way, It’s natural that you would give up.
There is a better way!
Food Jazz is the fundamental cooking education everyone needs. It is the easiest way to systematically make sense madness and take back control of your diet.
You deserve to eat well. And it doesn’t need to be hard, stressful or time consuming.
Let’s take cooking off your plate in 2024
The accountability you've been missing.
Maybe you've tried cooking before. But, time and time again, you fall off. Something comes up. What starts off exciting becomes too difficult. And before you know it, you're back to eating instant ramen and DoorDash.
But this is because there was no accountability.
You tried to start cooking on your own, almost doomed from the beginning.
Food Jazz solves that problem. You learn alongside hundreds of other cooks all with the same goal as you: to start cooking consistently.
This creates accountability unlike anything you've ever experienced.
Three types of Cooks
📚 The Planner
You can make a tasty meal, but it takes hours of planning and if something is slightly off or you are missing an ingredient, you have a panic attack!
🦝 The Opportunist
You find things to eat, but its never really what you want. Sometimes you come up with combinations that are disgusting.
🔮 Intuitive (future you)
You are in flow. You can make complicated dishes in a breeze. You are stress free and can make quick substitutions to make any dish work out.
Save Time and Money
Maybe finances are tight or you are trying to save up for something important to you.
It’s True!
Studies have shown that the potential annual savings from increased home cooking can be upwards $4,000+ a year for many individuals. You could buy a trained riding pony with that kinda spare cash!
Impress Your Community
Let’s face it, we all know being a great cook is sexy.
Maybe you are looking for love or trying to relate to your cool friends or trying to take something off your spouse's plate.
Cooking can serve as the glue that holds together your relationships.
A 2020 study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology found that families who cooked and ate together more often reported greater feelings of closeness and better family functioning.
Eat Exactly what your body needs
Maybe you can’t find options to cater your exact diet and feel like you have to settle often. Having the skills to efficiently cook a meal you want will unlock a greater sense of wellbeing and somatic connection.
Research from a comprehensive study from the University of Washington in 2015 found that people who cooked at home 3 times per week showed meaningful reductions in body fat and improved insulin metrics compared to those who cooked less.
Hey, I’m Akshay.
Your Personal Cooking Mentor
I’m excited to meet you and share with you what feels like my life’s work. Here are some highlights of my journey that have led me here to be your personal cooking mentor.
I was the founder and CEO of Foodnome, an online marketplace for home-cooked food. I have helped over 500 people refine their home kitchen businesses, optimize their recipes and live their dream.
I’ve hosted hundereds of popup dinners, catered for events and wedding with 500+ guests and even hosted several food music festivals.
Cooking has been a part of my life since I was a child. For me food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate. Memories are created over the warmth and aroma of a homemade meal.
Now I hope to help you carve your culinary identity. I’m on a mission to help 20,000 people finally learn to cook by 2030!

Seven Tenants of Food Jazz
🥳 You Are Having Fun
Food is meant to be shared. Cooking is a means of connection, therapy, self care & love. Your mindset is the first step to liberation through easeful intuitive cooking.
💡 Think Flavor Not Procedure
Recipes are not prescriptive. It’s more important to recreate the flavors than the precise procedures or ingredients.
🥡 Use What You Have
Resourcefulness and adaptability are key to making the most of what is on hand. This may involve using leftovers, incorporating seasonal produce, or finding creative uses for ingredients that might otherwise go to waste.
🧰 Stock for Success
Surround yourself with inspiration. Spices, sauces & toppings to transform your raw ingredients. This will provide the framework for you to improvise within.
🐍 Taste the World
Awaken your inner snake and navigate the world with your tongue! The best way to learn is with your own senses. Practice active tasting when you eat out and watch people cook – especially your grandma!
🤔 Your Opinion Matters
There is no right answer, just your answers. Cook what you and your people think tastes good.
⚖️ Build a Flavor Pyramid
The perfect meal creates a balance of flavors throughout.
100% Refund and Rollover Policy
I want your Food Jazz investment to be 100% risk free.
So, if you complete the course materials and find the course isn't for you within 14 days of starting it, I’ll will refund 100% of your investment.
And if you find after enrolling that your schedule is busier than you thought, we will roll you forward into a future cohort and zero additional cost.
However, part of what makes Food Jazz work is the financial accountability. If you do not engage with the course materials or fail to take action during the course, this does not qualify for a refund.
7 Weeks to a new Perspective on life
One last thing...
If you're down here, you might be thinking... is this really worth it?
And sure - you could go and stitch together all of the glorious free content across the vast interwebs. And eventually you will learn to cook and begin to understand the fundamentals.
But I'm guessing that if you're on this page, and you've read this far, you've tried something like this before.
And the results... well... they're not what you've been hoping for.
I’ve been in your shoes, and It’s taken me two decades to get to where I am.
I’m here before you after years of musing and consolidating my thinking to say — There is a better way.
You are 7 weeks away from creative culinary independence!
Let 2024 be the year for new connections, friendships and lovers. A year where you finally take control of your diet and get to feel great eating exactly what you want all the time! Cooking will be the simple habit that will change the trajectory of your life.
And it can all start right here, right now.
