What are some dishes every cook must know how to make?
Like dishes where you can't say your hobby is cooking if you can't make that.

A simple roast chicken. If you canโ€™t do that, you are useless.

Steakhouse food, I think. I'm of the mind that there really isn't anything served at a traditional steakhouse that you can't make as good as home with a little practice. There is nothing on the menu there that requires special equipment or technique that is not common to home cooks. Which is what traditionally made Steakhouses so decadent, I think - it really is a silly meal to buy out if you've got any cooking skill.
>In-the-pan based preparations of steak, on-the-bone chicken, and fish
>Classic French sauces and variations
>Various potato preparations, but most importantly how to get a good, straightforward roast or baked potato
>Roast and sauteed veggies with various surrounding techniques like blanching
>Basic break making and classic desserts like cheesecakes
These skills are all things you will use frequently for quick weeknight dinners and getting good at this is enough to convince 99% of normies you could go on Master Chef.

>every cook
hmm
a pro would need to know more about how a kitchen works and a wide range of core techniques more than recipes
a home cook would need to know basic techniques and a couple dozen go-to recipes for family and guests
a /ck/ "cook" would have to know how to use a keyboard

Both Jacques Pepin and Wolfgang Puck say that every chef must know how to make an omelette both the French and American way. Pepin says it in this video and then shows you how to make both

a gravy sauce of virtually any kind
any idiot can apply heat to things, but can they make a sauce to go with it? one that's decent and not watery slop?
