I have to admit when i saw this advertised on tv, i was excited about it! i love cooking. love cooking shows and Top Chef! but i was disappointed when i went to the site and found out they’re actually charging for this! i dont know why it didn’t enter my mind that they would charge for this! i mean, get real lol. cooking how-tos are all over the place FOR FREE!!
they’re charging $25 a month or $200 a yr!! think im kidding look 4 yourself here: https://www.topchefuniversity.com/page/join Top chef University
true it seems like a bargain for ppl who wanna go to cooking school! But this isn’t a cooking school. and 4 me i dont see the point paying 4 something like this when u can get free cooking demos all over the web!! their hook here is for the home chef to cook like a top chef. thats really what ur paying for! THE NAME!
NOW besides Food network, and Foodnetwork.com that has tons of free video demos and recipes by their own top chefs i found a few more links that i wanna share!
JULIA CHILD cooking videos from PBS. click here!
Gourmet Spot i just found has recipes, links, tutorials and more!
chef2chef.net has online courses 4 free! these aren’t videos though.
lets not forget YOUTUBE! alot of ppl probably wouldn’t even think about going there for cooking demos. but theres a ton of videos there! just searching cooking school videos, this is page i got, click here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cooking+school+videos&aq=f and just by searching chef how to i got this result page on youtube http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chef+how+to&aq=0
so u see paying $$ for something u can find for free online just seems ridiculous! on food network alone i find great tips n techniques from the pros! ppl will be joining top chef, just so they can say they learned it in top chef u, or they wanna learn new stuff. and thats all great EXCEPT u dont need to pay for that info!
u think ur saving $ by joining this and not going to cooking school. but u have to BUY the food in those courses! and some of those main food items can cost ya!
also have to point out that there are ppl out there working hard in real cooking schools! i gotta hand it to them. cause i love cooking! and would love to go to school, BUT i dont take stress well. cooking in a restaurant is stressful. so i do it for enjoyment. i like cooking for ppl i care about!! and cooking for myself is great too!! i would of loved joining the top chef u if it was free. id be just checking out the videos anyway (computer is in my room not kitchen), like i do all other cooking demos!
paying for Top Chef U is not for ppl on a fixed income who like learning new recipes, techniques, food info.
so if ur not sure about it, take my advice and just go web surfing for free gourmet cooking videos! dont waste ur money on top chef university!
