The Sous Chef™ Culinary Fundamentals Series contains over 340 videos – more than 22 hours of instruction ranging from the novice to the master level.  Each of the ten chapters covers dozens of core competencies.   Here are just a few of the many areas covered:

• Basic skills – sanitation, terminology, food identification and storage, knife use
  
• Advanced skills – hot and cold foods, stocks and sauces, cooking techniques, garde manger, butchering
  
• Specialty skills – pastry and baking, garnish and plate presentation, ice carving
  
  

For those already in culinary school, The Sous Chef™ can be a valuable resource. It offers extra help on difficult topics and also allows you to review and perfect your basic skills. The Sous Chef™ can help you stand out in your class (or catch up if you’re behind.)

Not in school yet? Looking at and learning from all the material on The Sous Chef™ can help you decide if culinary school is right for you. Plus, if you do go on, you’ll have a “head start” on all the other students.

If you are already working in the industry, The Sous Chef™ can help you learn new skills to become a better employee.  Dishwashers and busboys can become line cooks and bakers; cooks can become executive chefs.  Learn the skills needed to advance in the kitchen.  More learning translates to better skills and better skills mean better jobs, better wages, and more respect and recognition.

A culinary education can cost tens of thousands of dollars. The average cookbook collection represents a investment in the thousands.  Even a single culinary teaching video (VHS) runs more than $200.  The Sous Chef™ gives you everything in one package. It offers the training you want, when you want it, and at a fraction of the cost.
