There is lots of great content already, can’t wait to do the pasta lessons, and lots more to come. Thinking I was a knife smarty pants I took the “Handling a Chefs Knife” quiz and got a 76% (and learned a few things). Overall I wish I had checked this out earlier as I am really impressed by the content. I am going to be making some time to do all the material. You can try a free lesson on wheat and gluten and/or sign up for a free membership to check out all of Rouxbe’s great video recipes. As always I am super impressed by the quality of all the videos. Keep up the great work Rouxbe team.

As a full disclosure I was the original Flash developer responsible for creating all of the flash players for the Rouxbe site. They did not however ask me to write this and I am not currently working for them.

Specifically I have been involved in the design and development of the Flash based video players. Gagan Diesh, who got me involved in the project, has a nice post about Rouxbe on his DesignStamp blog.

I am going to take the liberty of tooting our horn here and say we have done/are doing a great job with the players and site. Adobe seems to agree, as Rouxbe is the site of the day. You can experience Rouxbe for yourself right now by signing up for a free account. There are lots of interesting features to come, so stay tuned.
