Has anyone developed a spaced repetition system for learning cooking? I feel like the right set of specific activities and overlaps in recipes of those could really do something here. cc

I’m really interested in these small practices (say, how much salt to add, or chopping specific vegetables) that seem like they could benefit from intentional practice, and where wide feedback loops hamper learning.

One broad research interest I have is in design practices for naturalistic spaced repetition. e.g. it’d be interesting to orchestrate practice of, say, mincing via (varied) recipe suggestion, rather than by explicitly assigning the task “chop an onion”!

It’s hard to construct naturalistic/authentic tasks which practice skills appropriately in many domains, but cooking seems pretty amenable.
To your root question: I wish I had a better answer! A good, though basic, approach is to buy a good book and cook everything in it.
THIS is exactly what I'm on about (and, unsurprisingly, the reason for tagging you.)
I may be naive, but I have to think there's some sort of sequence of recipes that applies repetitive practice of sub-skills without being a chaos-meal-train.
