What is Rouxbe?
Rouxbe (pronounced roo-bee) is the web’s first-ever online cooking school. We are currently teaching home cooks in 180 countries around the world.

Our goal
To help you become a better and more confident cook by teaching you basic to advanced cooking skills and techniques – the same things that chefs learn in a professional cooking school – so you can be free from being a slave to just recipes.

Who are our students?
Home cooks of all ages that are motivated to become better cooks. They are tired of hit-and-miss recipe success and have realized that recipes are not the path to better cooking. They are ready to learn more but don’t have a lot of time so our 8- to 15-minute bite sized professional cooking lessons are a perfect fit within their busy weeks. They pick a lesson a week and a few practice recipes for their weekly meal plan.

How are we different from other food sites?
Unlike other online cooking sites that focus on recipes, celebrity chefs and short technique videos, the Rouxbe Cooking School is a fully integrated experience that mirrors an actual culinary curriculum, complete with instructional cooking video lessons, practice video recipes, culinary chef exercises, progress reporting, cooking quizzes, and personal chef support.

Compliment your favorite cooking resource with Rouxbe
Rouxbe is a complement, not competitor, to other cooking and recipe resources. If you have a favorite cookbook, culinary magazine, television food program or other online food site, that’s great, keep it. Come to Rouxbe to learn cooking techniques and skills and then use your newly-acquired cooking skills to tackle any recipe, from any resource, with confidence.

Is the Rouxbe Cooking School free?

For the cost of a single fancy dinner out, you can attend a professional cooking school at home for an entire year, complete with personal chef support.
