Gift Rouxbe and the Rouxbe Cooking School
Buying a kitchen tool for a gift is one thing…buying a friend or loved-one the learning tools for cooking success is a complete other story. What we’re talking about here of course, is ‘gifting’ a premium online instructional cooking membership to Rouxbe.
The Rouxbe Cooking School delivers the World’s first-ever, at-home professional cooking school curriculum* in high quality, close-up video to home cooks around the world. The School features a graduated video series, complete with progress reporting, evaluation quizzes, chef and community support. Click to view a sample of the lesson format here. It’s like having your own personal cooking school and professional chef in the comfort of your own home.
Since the School’s official launch this past July (2008), aspiring home cooks from over 155 countries have enrolled and completed over 5,500 lessons and evaluation quizzes. The site also features an instructional video recipe section featuring recipes that have been driving over 95% success rates since the site launched in late 2006.
Two Membership options are available:
Annual Premium Membership ($99) or a Lifetime Membership ($199). 15% of all membership fees go to Rouxbe for Life – the Company’s social program to feed hungry children in developing countries. To date, the company has fed almost 60,000 kids.

Hi there,
I am interested in buying the cooking school membership for my son who is studying to be a chef. I have signed up for the free
30 day membership for myself to check it out. Is the membership
for the cooking school part of your website only? Would I be able
to use the drills, recipes etc. on my own?
I am just a bit confused about that. What does your membership actually include that others visiting the website does not get?
Thank you.

Will the cooking school be focusing on heart friendly recipes or recipes on a budget for a family?
I want to gift a membership to my sister in law but she has two small boys and a tight budget with a husband who has to watch his cholesterol and bad fat intake.
