Introducing the Rouxbe Cooking School
Mise en Place, shiffinade, braise, sear, suc, fond, roux and so on, common everyday terms used by chefs everywhere, all terms that I have recently learned from the online classes at Rouxbe.com.
Rouxbe.com extended the opportunity to preview their online cooking school and affiliate program a few months back and I eagerly accepted.
The concept is quite brilliant when you look at how expensive traditional cooking school can be, $20,000 plus to learn how to be a chef, but not everyone wants this career path or desires this in-depth education. By teaching the basic fundamentals of proper cooking techniques, along with instruction interaction and amazing recipes, Rouxbe.com has hit the nail on the head at a price that just makes sense.
Rouxbe.com classes, presented and delivered in amazing detail, each set shot in HD video that is clear and concise. With set-by step instructions, vivid photographs, tests to help your retention and the ability to interact with other students and staff, cooking lesson are just fantastic!
Am I impressed, yes! So impressed by the preview of the classes and recipes I was able to cook, when my free preview of Rouxbe.com was over I purchased the lifetime membership for myself. Almost every day I take a few minutes to view a lesson, hang out in the member’s forum, cruise through the recipes or watch a video. I do almost 100% of this on my iPad from wherever I am located at the time.
So, why the sales pitch you might be asking.
First and foremost Full Disclosure: I have signed up to be an Affiliate of Rouxbe.com. This means if you purchase a membership at Rouxbe.com, I get a small commission, nothing different from what you find when you buy something on many other websites out there. This helps Cooking-Outdoors.com stay solvent. OK, legal stuff concluded…
Second – I will be posting many of their videos on the website for you to enjoy and learn from, they are the best educational videos around.
Third – Recipes, you will be enjoying some amazing recipes on Cooking-Outdoors.com as I convert them from indoor kitchen recipes to outdoor cooking recipes, showing you many new techniques, styles and flavors. Something I am very excited to share.
Now here is the sales pitch for Rouxbe.com:
