Thanks!

George Brown.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

My coworker took the George Brown class and raves about it. She brought in some dishes to work and I was very impressed.

Definitely George Brown. A few kids I went to high school with are taking courses there and I hear they're constantly bringing home delicious food.

George Brown - They take things seriously, but you can't beat being able to take home a full meal after you're done.

Sorry I wasn't sure if it should be food, fun, entertainment, so just went with off topic.
George Brown seems to be popular. Are these recreational classes or part of a diploma program? I was hoping for something I can just drop in once a week or every 2 weeks, don't need/want a diploma/degree. Just want to learn to cook

Do you need a live person teaching you how to cook? There are all kinds of Youtube tutorials for cooking.

If you aren't strapped for cash:

Pick and choose based on desires and schedule ...not intense, but fun never the less.
10+ years ago when it started, they routinely had "celebrity" chefs teach classes...really enjoyed those.

The courses run 2-3 months with one class a week. The courses are specific and only cover one cuisine. Italian = italian. Cantonese = cantonese. Thai = thai...etc. At the end you get a paper stating that you completed it. Also there are courses that cover the basics which you must take if you have never cooked and wish to take more difficult ones.Cartman86 wrote: ↑Oct 21st, 2013 9:56 pmSorry I wasn't sure if it should be food, fun, entertainment, so just went with off topic.

Thanks for the suggestions!
GB sounds great but its expensive, and it says you have to do a prerequisite to do any of the good stuff

Yes, you must. They want to make sure you know the basics. When I took Italian many years ago, there was this guy who was cleaning his knife and he accidently cut his palm. There was blood all over the sink.

There's also rouxbe.com that from what I've seen looks very good. Made a couple of their free recipes and they were very, very good. There's recipes, but the purpose is to actually teach you HOW to cook. it's 300 upfront and 5 dollars a month starting in month 2.

For 100% free you can check out cooking shows on TV. They normally post all their recipe info online. I like In the Kitchen with Stephano Faita on CBC, 3:30PM on weekdays.
