Book • 2012

In 'The 4-Hour Chef', Tim Ferriss uses cooking as a vehicle to teach 'meta-learning', a step-by-step process for mastering any skill quickly.

The book is divided into five sections: Meta-Learning, The Domestic, The Wild, The Scientist, and The Professional.

It includes tips and stories from world-class chefs, athletes, and other experts, and focuses on overcoming common obstacles in learning and cooking.

The book aims to make readers self-sufficient in the kitchen and in life, applying principles of failure points and margin of safety to ensure success.
