| Rouxbe
Cooking School |
|
Edinformatics
Select -- Rouxbe
(pronounced roo-bee) is the web’s first-ever online cooking
school. Rouxbe is currently teaching home cooks in 180 countries
around the world. Roubxe is different from most other cooking
videos in that it is actually designed to be an online cooking
school teaching basic to advanced cooking skills and techniques
– the same things that chefs learn in a professional cooking
school. And, it does this very well using a team of professional
cooking instructors who know how to do it right. Besides
recipes there are links to cooking tips, techniques, and
how to buy the best ingredients. Many of the excellent videos
have free access. Full access to Rouxbe requires a membership
fee of $99/year or $199 for life. Rouxbe offers a free sample
lesson every day and all of their instructional video recipes,
text recipes, tip and technique videos and community forums
are free. We consider Rouxbe one of the Best Cooking Video
Sites currently on the Internet -- if not the best. |
