one of my favorite cooking classes
Chef Curtis Stone needs to make more cooking classes. By far one of my favorite food courses. Wish the videos were longer but understand the instructors are limited by the restrictions put on them by Great Courses.

not as advertised
I purchased this expecting 30 minute sessions. As it turned out, the average segment was 10 minutes at best. There was a shotgun approach and no depth of information presented. Comparing this to other courses that I have purchased on food and cooking, this was a real disappointment.

Fun Cooking Series
We enjoyed watching Curtis cook up lovely and tasty dishes. He gave a lot of handy tips along the way and explained terminology. We would recommend this series to anyone who would like to elevate their cooking. Well done!

This has convinced me to try beets
Fantastic episodes, these will be my autumn cooking focus this year - the vegetable section is simply wonderful! Very engaging chef, I love how simple the preparation is, very accessible to all levels of cooks. Lots of great gift-giving ideas as well (the cut-resistant glove in particular...). More from this chef please! I've recommended this to multiple friends already, will continue to babble on and on about how much I love the series, haha.

After each sessions you want to cook.
I just finished this course with Curtis Stone, each segment is about 10 minutes this is a good match, you are not tired. After each segment you want to try it. After Curtis explains something easily, you want to do it. Try it you will not regret it.

What a Wonderful, Wonderful Series. Not only was it educational, but so entertaining and enjoyable. Mr. Stone has personality plus. The presentation and filming was exceptional. Hopefully we can look forward to more of the same and only wish there were more episodes. A job very well done!
