Lesson 13

In this final lesson, it’s all about setting you up for long-term success — turning everything you’ve learned into real, sustainable change. Jens guides you through how to take your new skills from the kitchen counter into everyday life, so cooking with confidence becomes second nature.

You’ll explore the four foundations of habit formation, and discover why starting small is the secret to lasting progress. Jens also dives into the mindset behind lasting change — showing you why big goals matter less than your identity and beliefs when it comes to building habits that truly stick.

Finally, you’ll be introduced to The Meal Matrix — a simple but powerful tool Jens created and uses daily, both professionally and at home. It brings together the Seven Principles, Four Foundational Food Groups, and Five C’s of Deliciousness into a clear, flexible framework that empowers you to cook freely and creatively, without ever needing a recipe again.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll have everything you need to make confident, joyful cooking a natural part of your life — not just a skill, but a way of being.
So take a breath, grab your notepad, and get ready to set your culinary spirit free. You’ve earned it!
