Cooking Videos - Learn to Cook Online
There are many cooking videos popping up all over the Internet. Some are very well done and some are very mediocre. There are culinary videos done by professional groups and then there are those done by home cooks like us and posted on YouTube. My current favorite cooking videos come from the online cooking school Rouxbe.
These guys have produced cooking videos that in my opinion offer the highest production value found on the Internet and I encourage you to learn more about them here and then check out their free videos and decide if you want to become a subscriber. If The Reluctant Gourmet was producing cooking videos , and he is not, this is exactly how I would want them to look. So you will see many examples of their work posted here and around my web site but you will also find some other videos that I think are good examples of what I'm trying to explain.
You will also find some detailed cooking videos from my friend Peter Hertzmann who looks at skills including how to handle a knife, how to measure ingredients to how to choose and use a whisk.
Your Resource For Great Cooking Videos
Over time, I'm hoping this will become a great resource for cooking videos. If you want only one source, I recommend Rouxbe but I will try to find and post the best examples demonstrating cooking techniques as well as recipes by both professional and home cooks. These are great learning tools for home cooks who want to improve their techniques and learn more about cooking.
My goal is to put together a bunch of these videos to create a sort of home culinary education program for those of you interested in learning more about cooking but not interested in going to culinary school.
