Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method that can enable a user to understand the basis of one or more methods of food preparation through a learning construct that incorporates a teaching of foundational components with a teaching of a foundational process. The disclosed device also comprises a construct that can reinforce and/or strengthen the user's learned basis of understanding of components and processes beyond recipe replication. The reinforcement construct seeks to further instill the understanding of the technique being taught through a variety of tools, such as by the use of recipes, tables arranging possible ingredients, guides, charts, definitions, instructions, tips, pairings, etc.
