In recent years, the interest in learning to cook has increased exponentially. Flexibility, convenience, and comfort are some of the reasons why people are choosing to learn to cook online. These online cooking classes work like culinary schools with a bonus point – you can tailor them to your needs and schedule. Anyone taking online cooking classes can access them from anywhere at any time – On-demand cooking classes focus on the students and their needs! 

Having the ability to choose the right culinary course depends on your final objective – Why do you want to take this class? What are your expectations? Additionally, there are some important factors to consider before you choose the best online cooking classes. The right course will help you meet and exceed your initial expectations. Here are some important points that you should definitely consider before choosing the best online cooking classes. 

1. Requirements:

Analyze what is required from beginning to end to make sure that you will not have surprises along the way – save yourself some headaches! 

It is recommended to verify if you require a previous certified course, special documentation, and/or special materials to carry out the course. Make sure you have what it takes before you register for your online cooking classes. 

2. Objective:

Have an objective – It is a very important starting point! When in doubt, make sure to be guided, and don’t be afraid to ask! Do you want to be a pastry chef? Focus on international cuisine? or do you just want to learn some new recipes? and cook for fun? Being clear about your objective will take you on the right course. 

3. Schedule:

Not all online classes are created equal. If the online class is live, make sure that your schedule meets the class schedule. If your schedule is a bit complicated then choose an on-demand class that you can take at any time. 

4. Self-knowledge and Level of Experience:

Each one of us is aware of the skills and aptitudes that are innate and those that we have to work on to develop throughout our lives. By reviewing the requirements of each course you can be prepared for what you would need to face during the class. This information will guide and help you to understand where you stand – what skills and what level of culinary experience you might need to join the course. Remember, “practice makes the master”.

5. Former Students Reviews: 

Just as you do when going to a restaurant or booking a hotel, we encourage you to always check on former students’ reviews. Make sure to get your research done before choosing the right class. Learn about the instructors, methodology, and school! 

Don’t forget these important benefits of joining a cooking class: 

  • Awakens Creativity
  • Home Economy
  • New Culinary Techniques
  • Healthy Eating
  • Stress Relief
  • Cultural Enrichment
  • Unforgettable Moments

Obtaining the right training will always help you to move forward. There are thousands of online cooking courses and workshops to choose from – It is just a matter of finding the right course for you!

NEW VIDEO CLASSES

From his culinary classroom to your own kitchen

Chef Eric Crowley created and stars in a NEW cooking video series for students of all skill levels to learn remotely. He takes great pride in patiently focusing on each of his students to motivate them to reach their goals and develop superb culinary skills. This has equipped him to take his classroom virtual. The full twelve video series is available for purchase, and it comes with a PDF version of Chef Eric’s new cookbook. Individual videos with the accompanying chapters are also available for purchase. In creating this video series and writing his cookbook, Chef Eric hopes to provide his expertise to the rest of the world, not just those who have had the pleasure of working with him in person.

“People can derive a great deal from the art of cooking. The ultimate reward for me is seeing the sense of confidence and pure joy that my students experience when they master the life skill of cooking through my instruction, and to help other chefs follow in my footsteps and create their own businesses and careers,” Chef Eric.

To give you a quick overview of Chef Eric’s video series, he starts with Knife Skills. He covers the selection, use, sharpening, and care of knives – especially the Chef’s knife. From the julienne, mince, chop, and dice, he will teach you how to cut or shape vegetables. He includes three bonus recipes where you can demonstrate your new ability and practice your knife skills. After getting the basics down, he teaches All About Stocks in his second episode. Stocks are the foundation as a chef, and you will learn the secrets to a flavorful stock. In addition to the foundation of stocks, in episode three, Chef Eric provides a building-block to every new chef’s journey: Grand Sauces. Hollandaise, béchamel, and velouté sauces will open your eyes to the elegant power of butter and roux. Episode five through seven, you will learn the true art of breakfast foods, vegetables, potatoes, and pastas.

In episode eight, Chef Eric talks about a classic that is continually reinvented: appetizers. This episode focuses on dishes that can function as first courses in a multi-course meal and small items that can be served at a cocktail party or a small catered affair. Not only does Chef Eric teach about all different types of foods, but he covers the culinary art of cooking methods. Episode nine and ten, Dry Heat Cooking Methods and Moist Heat Cooking Methods, covers sautéing, roasting, stir-frying, braising, and poaching. Tying it all together, episode eleven offers three menus for easy but elegant meals. The chef at home will be able to practice and display everything that Chef Eric taught them, all from the comfort of their own kitchen. Dinner’s ready!

Some may argue that episode twelve is one of the most important ones: Easy Elegant Desserts. Chef Eric decides to satisfy the sweet tooth and demonstrates his favorite desserts. Chocolate rum mousse with homemade whipped cream, and crêpes with chocolate sauce and crème chantilly will make all your chocolate dreams come true. YUM!
