What separates medium from easy on Sous-Chef?
Medium recipes may use multiple pans, longer active time, or techniques like browning, emulsifying, or resting—but stop short of expert-level finesse.

Medium recipes introduce a few more steps—maybe a sauce to reduce, a protein to sear, or a dough to rest—but still fit a normal weeknight.
Milestone timing shows when to prep ahead versus when the stove demands full attention—sauces to reduce, proteins to sear, doughs to rest without losing the thread.

Frequently asked questions
Should beginners start with medium recipes?
Try a few easy wins first. When you are comfortable with knife prep and stove timing, medium dishes are a natural next step.
Do medium recipes list parallel prep tasks?
Yes. Steps group what can happen simultaneously—rice simmering while a protein sears—so components finish together.
Can I still meal-plan medium recipes?
Absolutely. Save dishes you like and let Sous-Chef spread them across the week with consolidated grocery lists.
