The Rouxbe blog is where we get to share personal experiences with you, and also tell you about the exciting new things that we have cooking for you. Rouxbe believes in the power of communities. We want to have a two-way conversation with food lovers around the world and create the best possible experience that makes home cooking more fun.

Rouxbe: The Recipe to Better Cooking
Rouxbe connects professional chefs with home cooks: people like you, who love food and are looking to expand their culinary repertoire and improve their skills in the kitchen. We offer online instructional cooking videos that walk you step by step through each delicious recipe. And our video recipes provide what no cookbook can: audio and visual cues that professional chefs use as their guides to preparing great recipes. It’s like having a private cooking school in your home, with professional chefs at your service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Congrats to the Freaks (Joe/Dawn may need to explain this from their old lives in the film catering biz)! Your website looks awesome and the pictures of the food make me realize that it must be noon and time to eat! You have finally done it!

Thanks Mike,
For those of you who might be wondering about the “Freaks” comment, Dawn and I previously owned an on-location film catering company in Vancouver, BC - Freaky Beats & Eats Film Catering. I know, pretty unusual name. We fed 225,000 people over our last few years of catering and each meal was accompanied by great beats (music) paired with the meal we served. We carry on this tradition at Rouxbe with our sound director extaordinaire, Elliot Fienberg (aka Mr. Tunes). Hope you enjoy the Rouxbe World tracks while you prepare dishes from around the World.

who does these amazing photographs for rouxbe?
I just made the cilantro chicken for a party tonight. Went really well. Super juicy. I just spent the last 10 mins. pickin’ at its bony ass, mmm…..
my answer to game 2
mortar and pestle
sound number 3 - is it a knife going through cabbage
Can you help me? I am making the Tzatziki and the instructions say to strain the cucumber mixture. I only have a small fine strainer and all I would end up with is some green juice coming from the mixture. Is this what I am supposed to do? Seems like a waist of all the herbs and ingredients.
Hi Susan, straining the cucumber mix is simply to remove that “green juice” the rest of it is what you want to use to add to the Tzatziki. The “green juice” gets thrown out.
I guess usually when one is straining it is usually the opposite. If you want there is also a video for this recipe http://rouxbe.com/recipes/20
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
Just dropping a comment to say I love this site and all of the videos!
Definitely a great way to expand on my knowledge of food and all things related. :)
