Judy Brown – Former educator at Bob Jones High School, Madison, AL & ACTE teacher of the year 2008
I've received "The Sous Chef" program.  I was the first one in Alabama and trained two weeks with Chef O'Neill.  I have taught Culinary Arts in a large high school for the past three years...  I would buy this program in a heart beat if I were still teaching.  Please send me information about cost.  I would like to contact all 26 programs in the state and have them look at this program.  I've used it, loved it, and would highly recommend it to all my culinary teachers in the state.  This one is even better and I would never use a text book with this program.

 

Betty Hall – Kingsbury Career and Technology Center, Memphis, TN
Instructor and students describe how they use the Sous Chef at their school during their FCCLA National Leadership Conference and how it contributed to winning their state competitions three years in a row.

Denise Baxter – Mountain View High School, Stafford, VA
“I had a student who looked up how to create an orange fruit basket on her own time, went home, bought the tools necessary and made half a dozen for her parents.  When she brought in a digital picture and asked how she did, I told her it was perfect.  I could not be so proud of her.  This is the most impressive product I’ve ever seen for culinary arts.”

Kathryn Thomas – Rindge School of Technical Arts, Cambridge, MA
“We spend a lot of money on other curriculum materials and it hasn’t been very useful for our students but I really like the Sous Chef a lot.  My advanced kids come to the computer two at a time and really absorb the information.”

Kate Beiting – Millard Public Schools, Omaha, NE
“My students (as well as myself) find your software most useful as a resource. The videos are quick, informative, always at the ready. We appreciate the chef's sense of humor and easy explanation of concepts that students might not understand at first--or concepts that might intimidate them. My students have created several of your recipes! We are using it all the time. It has been an answer to all my prayers.”

Joanne Michael – Thunderbird High School, Phoenix, AZ
“I absolutely love the program.  You would have to have a professional chef on staff and a lot of money to be able to teach what I’m able to teach now.” 

Nathan Greven – Tech Ed Center Carrolton GA
"I've got it set up on all 30 of my computers. I use it for reinforcement, when my students miss labs and all kinds of stuff. I love it. My students love it, it's very user friendly, laid out very simply, easy for them to navigate, which I really really like. They way you have it laid out is really good."
