Has anyone tried America Test Kitchen's Online Cooking School? Since I'm a newbie cook, I'm considering it. I've been getting a lot of value out of my Cooks Illustrated web subscription.
Can you leave a link so we can look it over KG? I'm wondering if it isn't a ploy to get more money from you.
I'm sure the America's Test Kitchen information is very detailed and informative, but I would start with the free videos available on UTube. Once you have seen a few of them the rest is just practice and you get a chance to practice three times a day while fixing meals at home. I would use the $20.00/month to buy some interesting ingredients or quality cooking equipment.
I'm constantly amazed at the quality and variety of information available on UTube.
Good luck!
You have to be careful with youtube videos. Anyone can post a video. Not every video will be accurate in the information it provides. Always make sure the video is from a reliable source.

I like to watch a few videos for the same topic and look for the reoccuring information, techniques and ingredients. Then, I totally disregard them and do it my way....You have to be careful with youtube videos. Anyone can post a video. Not every video will be accurate in the information it provides.

kg, you can also sign up (for free) at both "America's Test Kitchen" and the sister show "Cook's Country". That gives you access to recipes and select videos from the current season. If you want to find things from previous seasons you either have to part with money or (my preferred approach) do some creative googling along with Youtube searching. Good luck!
