Street Food Skills, Built by Doing
Four focused modules. Each one ends with a practical assignment you cook, plate, and share. The program covers what actually matters when you are standing behind a stall with a queue in front of you.
What Each Module Covers
- Reading a market — how to shop for volume without sacrificing quality
- Temperature control and safe holding times for street food contexts
- Regional staples: wraps, skewers, fritters, and bowl formats
- Assignment: source, prep, and photograph a single-ingredient dish from scratch
- Acid, heat, fat, salt — how street vendors balance without recipes
- Three sauce archetypes that work across very different dishes
- Making sauces in bulk that hold flavour over a full service day
- Assignment: develop a sauce from a brief, document the iteration process
- Mapping a 1.5 m² station for maximum output with minimum movement
- Equipment that earns its space: what to own vs. what to skip
- Cleaning and reset between service runs without losing momentum
- Assignment: film and narrate your station setup before a timed cook
- Prep schedules that let you hit the ground running at service start
- Handling a rush: which shortcuts are acceptable, which kill quality
- Packaging and presentation when speed is the constraint
- Final project: run a 30-minute simulated service, submit footage and written debrief
