Cooking School

When I decided to create a website, one of the areas I was very keen to have in it was an online cooking school. Since attending a hands on or live demonstration school is near impossible for so many people, I thought this a great way to get the message out there at a reasonable cost and to many people.

The Cooking School section is divided into 3 categories...

Base Recipes

Base recipes are the recipes from which other recipes are developed or constructed. Eventually, all the base recipes in the Recipes section will have corresponding cooking classes of some variety, depending on their complexity.

Compound Recipes

Compound recipes usually comprise one of more base recipe along with additional ingredients and assembly instructions. In order to make a cooking class compound recipe, you will fist need to know how to make the base recipes from which it is constructed. There will also eventually be corresponding cooking classes for every compound recipe in the Recipes Section.

Ingredient Preparation

This category covers all the skills & techniques that are the fundamentals of food preparation and cooking. Under each subcategory will be a list of the ingredients that technique/skill applies to. Eventually all ingredients will be covered.

Forms the Classes will Take

  • Step by Step still photographs of cooking and food preparation and cooking techniques
  • Video demonstrations
  • Video downloadable classes
  • Full courses containing many classes that are emailed to participants each week
  • Audio files that explain specific aspects of cooking and food preparation that subscribers can download and listen to at their leisure before beginning classes or courses.

To date, only the step by step classes are active, but the other aspects of the school will become available over the next months and will gradually be added to.

You'll need to be a subscribing member of the site to access any of the classes. Your subscription can be for one feature, a combination of them or all of them. Initially, you'll only be able to subscribe to the step by step classes, but as the extra features become available, you can elect to be notified by email but emailing me via the Contact Us page and putting "Notify Me When New Cooking Class Features are Available" in the subject field or, subscribe to the RSS and News Feeds, or read my journal entries regularly, where I'll advise of their launch.
