The very educational approach of the videos allows a good understanding of the techniques used and thus to acquire a good mastery of the gestures to perform. The content is dynamic and the recipes are very varied which is very pleasant.

A perfect site to learn the techniques of the greatest chefs. The course are very instructive. I learned several very interesting techniques in each course. Each step is very well explained, in video. You can also download the detailed recipe in PDF and print it. I recommend 100% this site.
