Q: What will I learn if I register and complete Web Cooking Classes?
Web Cooking Classes is designed to teach you the complete science and basics of cooking so that you can enjoy preparing, eating and sharing food. The information is the same information learned in culinary school, but in a convenient weekly course that you can take right from home. It is divided into 3 Modules: Basic Cooking Methods, Advanced Cooking Techniques and Pro Cooking Techniques. Each module is 16 weeks long and completion of any one module will mean you have mastered the content within that module. So if you complete 16 weeks, you will have all of the information and knowledge you need to master basic cooking methods in your home and begin to cook like a chef – as promised. We believe that learning to cook will change your life. And we believe it because we’ve experienced it ourselves and shared the experiences of so many other clients and friends over the years.

Q: How does Web Cooking Classes Work?
When you join Web Cooking Classes, you will create a unique username and passcode to access the Members Only Area of our site. When you log into the site, you will start at your Members Dashboard Page. From here, all of your available class lessons can be found in a pull-down menu under the “Members” Tab at the top of the page. This weekly delivery was designed so that you can learn a lot of information about cooking in a short amount of time without becoming overwhelmed. Plus, with weekly “homework” and cooking ideas, you’ll also have plenty of time to practice. As a reminder, you will also receive an email notification each week when your new class has been added.
Q: Will I really be able to learn to cook online?
We actually wondered the same thing when we started teaching online cooking classes in addition to our live classes in The Cooking School. What we found was that the instruction is just as solid in video format as in the live format. Plus, our internet customers had the added bonus of being able to complete classes on their own schedule in their own homes for MUCH LESS cost than our live classes. We guarantee you will learn to cook and improve your lifestyle with our online cooking classes.
Q: How much does Web Cooking Classes Cost?
When you register for Web Cooking Classes, you are automatically given a FREE 14 day trial. This is your chance to access the Members area and participate in a couple of classes without being charged. If you decide to continue, your first month of classes will be billed at $47 on the 15th day after registration. You will be billed monthly for $47, but will receive a new class every week. This means that you are actually paying less than $12 for each class (not counting all of the other Members resources we offer). We are thrilled to be able to offer so much for so little, and love to hear the stories our customers tell us about their cooking adventures.
Q: I don’t have very good internet access, is Web Cooking Classes available in DVD format?
Unfortunately, at this time Web Cooking Classes is only available via online access. We do have a DVD version of Web Cooking Classes planned for early in 2010.
Q: Do you sell any cooking DVDs?
We do offer cooking DVDs and other resources for clients who prefer this format for their cooking instruction. Our DVD Series are also a compliment Web Cooking Classes. You can find out more information on all of our cooking resources in our Store.
Q: Will Web Cooking Classes be fun?
Those familiar with Chef Todd’s blog and videos know that he has a very unique presentation-style that includes humor, stories and other “goodies” to help you learn and make learning fun! You can expect to see Chef Todd’s personality shine through in Web Cooking Classes. The system is designed to provide intense cooking instruction value as well as lots of fun for our members as they go along. Web Cooking Classes is definitely life-changing, but in a fun way!
Q: What if I don’t have a credit card? Can I still join?
Absolutely. We accept Paypal on our site. To choose this option, simply select it from the scroll down menu during checkout when you see “payment options.” If you are not familiar with Paypal, it is very easy to use and you can link it to your bank account so it works as a debit card, while protecting your personal information online. www.paypal.com
Q: If I join Web Cooking Classes, what do I get?
Your membership in Web Cooking Classes includes weekly delivery of a new cooking class every week, additional resources as they occur, access to our Members Only forum (which is moderated by Chef Todd), special Members only offers, and lots of cool surprises along the way. You also get our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Bottom line: you will learn to cook like a chef with Web Cooking Classes, assemble a stockpile of cooking resources to use in your home kitchen for years to come, and enjoy it all along the way!
Q: When I join Web Cooking Classes, do the classes start from the beginning or will I be joining the program in the middle?
Web Cooking Classes is a very unique program that is customized for each new member. When you join, you start at the beginning and receive classes in the order in which the program was designed. This way, you get the full benefit of the program at any time.
Q: Are there any notes, handouts or printed materials that will be distributed in Web Cooking Classes in addition to the videos?
Absolutely. The video instruction is extremely valuable all on its own, but we’ve made it even more valuable in Web Cooking Classes by organizing the information in a logical fashion, which will make it easier for you to learn and use it immediately. Also, the instruction has been enhanced with the addition of printed handouts that the lessons. Our goal is that you can print each handout and over time have a complete resource guide you can keep on-hand as you cook.
Q: How long do the classes last?
Each class video is under 30 minutes. The intention is to make this something that will be easy for you to fit into your weekly schedule. A new project and challenge is only fun if you feel it is approachable for your current situation. And with our high quality web video, you can view the classes when it is convenient for you – in your pj’s if you want. You can cancel anytime so the duration of weeks is entirely up to you.
Q: What happens if I am out of town for a week or more? Will I miss my class for that week?
Once you receive access to a particular Week in your Membership, you will always have access to that week as long as you are a Member. This means that if you miss a week for any reason, you will still be able to access it when you get back to the program. Since the weekly lessons are relatively short, it is easy to make up a week or 2 if need be during your course.
Q: Can I cancel Web Cooking Classes before the end?
We hope Web Cooking Classes helps you achieve your culinary goals and we have worked very hard to ensure that it will. However, we also understand that this program is not for everyone, and we want to make it very easy for you to cancel if that is your choice. You can cancel Web Cooking Classes anytime and will not be billed again. Each billing date is a “pre-pay” for the following month, so if you want to cancel, you are best served to do so just BEFORE a billing period. Just go here and submit a form to cancel anytime.
Q: If I want to suspend my classes and start again at a later time, can I pick up where I left off?
This was something that was very important to us when we were investigating the technical side of our online cooking classes. Life happens, and we know that it might be necessary for some of our students to suspend their cooking classes for a period of time. We wanted people to be able to suspend membership and pick up right where they left off at a later date, which is exactly how our program works. If you need to stop your membership, you just cancel so that you stop being billed. When you are ready to reinstate, just send a Contact Form and we will gladly walk you through the process then.
Q: What is the graduation gift after I complete my first 16 weeks (Cooking Basics Module)?
Each of our 16-week modules has an awesome graduation gift at the end – for all of our committed home chefs who make it to the finish line. I would love to tell you what it is because it would probably motivate you even more, but then it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it? 
Q: I’m ready for my FREE trial. How can I get started?
We encourage all of our new members to start by getting my DVD: 5 Chef Secrets for Creating Amazing Meals at Home and a free 14 day trial in Web Cooking Classes. This DVD provides a great overview to this unique philosophy on cooking and cooking instruction. You will only need to contribute $7.95 for shipping and I will send this DVD directly to you.
