I received this email from Chef Tony Minichiello at the North West Culinary Academy of Vancouver, where I have taken cooking courses in the past, and I thought that I would pass it along. I have been a lifetime member of Rouxbe for more than a year. Highly recommended. If you want to improve your cooking skills in the comfort of your own home, I can’t think of a better way than this. Here is the offer:
To all foodies,
Over a year ago, we arranged with our partner Rouxbe to offer all of our students at NWCAV a special half price Premium Membership to the Rouxbe Online Cooking School. Many of you were fortunate to snap it up before the offer expired. For those that missed out, here is one last chance.
You may have noticed that the Rouxbe website has changed quite a bit over the last year and is now focused mainly on techniques rather than recipes. This coming year, the site will go places you never could have imagined. For those of you that take advantage of this exclusive offer, you may even see me online doing live sessions at some point in the near future.
Rouxbe will be the top online “go-to” culinary resource site in the world. This I have no doubt. I actually now envision a day when we won’t even require our professional students to buy a reference book, such as On Cooking (or even On Baking). Instead, they will buy a Lifetime Premium Membership to the Rouxbe Online Cooking School. And who knows, maybe I can teach from the beaches of Northern Spain? (hmmm…I think I’m better live in person, arms flailing all over the place).
So last chance, take advantage of this deal now!
Lifetime Premium Membership for $99
(instead of $199, soon to climb even higher)
Whether you are cooking at home or working in the industry, you will always have Rouxbe and NWCAV in your back pocket for easy reference. If you don’t have a membership already, just do it and thank me later.
Tony
(feel free to share this offer with friends as well)
* Anyone that buys an Annual Membership from now until Friday September 11, 2009 at midnight PST, will automatically be upgraded to Lifetime Membership the following week.
