Frequently asked questions.

What is CookImprov?

A visual toolkit for everyday cooking that teaches systems over scripts, so you can improvise with confidence.

Who is it for?

  • Those who want to cook with confidence and creativity, not just follow instructions

  • Anyone who loves the idea of throwing together a meal with whatever’s in the kitchen, and impressing yourself with the result

  • Those craving both structure and freedom, and curious when to follow the rules and when to break them

What’s inside Volume 1: Fresh Foundations?

Volume 1 opens with Principles of Improv for Cooking and the mental model “Everything Is a Salad”: a way to see meals as components you can balance and remix. From there, it breaks archetypal dishes into flexible frameworks: five types of Feature Salads; then Bowls & Boards; Breakfast & Brunch; and Bread Platforms (sandwiches, avocado toast, tacos, flatbread wraps, savory and sweet crepes). You’ll learn techniques for Fundamental Veggies and finish with Foundational Proteins: chicken, beef, fish, shrimp, and tofu—suited to both meal prep and quick weeknights.

When will pre-orders ship?

Mid-October 2025

Will there be Volume 2: Cocktail Creations?

Yes, it’s on track to launch in the first half of 2026.
