Learning gourmet cooking?
I found this cool website where you can learn gourmet cooking from a woman who ran a couple of really good restaurants. Its called Kimistyle.com. It is pretty neat, but I’m not sure if I should pay for a subscription or wait until she has a cookbook. Its $50.00 for a year. Is this a good way to learn about cooking?
The only real way to learn to cook (gourmet or otherwise) is to actually cook. Watching and/or reading can only do so much. You need to have the knife in your hand and practice properly cutting. You need to feel the different ingredients to know how they respond to heat. You need to have a mentor there who will help guide you to do things the right way. Look into taking culinary classes at a local community college. It’s a great way to get exposure to a wide variety of cooking elements and styles.

I’m not familiar with the website, but the Food Network taught me how to cook simple, yet healthy meals. Rachael, Giada, Ellie, Tyler etc. All are fantastic and the recipes are simple too!

Sounds like a cooking show to me or a way to help offset her hobbies.
