OK aspiring Food Network Stars, Top Chefs, home cooks, et al., now is your chance to polish those cooking skills without paying a ton of cash for culinary school. For $99 a year, you can sign up for Rouxbe and learn to cook in the comfort of your own home!
Initially 20 lessons have been released and range from how to properly use your knives and making foundational stocks to making fresh pasta and cooking the perfect steaks. It’s a great place to learn the fundamentals that all amatuer cooks should know. Along with their cooking school, enjoy several great full recipes like Seafood with Thai Green Curry, Mario Batali’s Lasagne alla Bolognese al Forno, Pan-Fried Gnocchi with Lemon-Sage Sauce and more. I’ve made a couple of the dishes and they turned out great. They are very easy to follow along with and offer some great tips. I’m really excited to start on the cooking school.
From the Rouxbe blog:
The school uses a two-prong approach that is unparalleled in the online cooking world. It pairs excellent “how-to” content, which teaches skills and techniques necessary to drive cooking success, with unique “why-to” content, which helps students really understand cooking and frees them from following recipes.
