I have the first two KitchenCue DVD's and I LOVE them. I understand a 3rd one is out very soon. The amazing thing about these instructional DVD's is that Chef Shellie is not the least bit pretentious, is easy to understand and so generous with her knowledge. Quite often you listen to Chef's and they give partial information, you attempt what they have done to complete failure. Not so with Chef Shellie, she really teaches you skills to keep forever and makes you a success. Please try these. You will love them too.

BEFORE: I was an expert at melting cheese on things in the microwave so I was someone who could 'prepare food', but not really cook. Probably as a result, I received these videos as a gift from someone tired of eating with me.

NOW: I understand what it means to prepare and cook things in different ways (i.e. dice, vs slice, bake vs roast) and WHY.

With my easily acquired new skills, I can taste things as I cook and I've somehow MAGICALLY developed the ability to diagnose and correct as I go!

No more adding hot sauce or cheese to make up for my boring/bland food. I'm really cooking thanks to these videos!

KitchenCue Instructional DVD, Volume 1, Sautes and Pan Sauces
KitchenCue Instructional DVD, Volume 2, Soups and Stocks

I purchased the first DVD--and came back for a second-helping. These are must-have training tools for both novice and experienced cooks. Take the opportunity to learn from one of the most knowledgable, fun, inspirational instructors in the industry. As with Sautes and Pan Sauces, you will get the technique down easily as she walks you through the steps. For me it was the perfect review. Once again she has packed this DVD with all kinds of useful information in an easy-to-use format that will give you the confidence to cook without recipes or give you new inspiration on combining ingredients and spices for pallate pleasing results. A great value!"

This video starts from the beginning creating stocks all the way to Healthy, delicious soups. You'll want this in the cold winter months!

I love this CD. After taking the class, I was forgetting things while I was cooking. Now, I just put the CD in while I cook and continue to get advice about everything from how to make your OWN soup to selecting cooking utensils and sharpening knives. I make soup now and everyone is amazed.....

Chef Shellie Kark is amazing! Her talent in showing the world how to cook is easy to understand and fabulous. These CD's make great gifts and I hope everyone can utilize them to develop confidence in the kitchen and learn the joy of cooking.

Just like Volume 1, Volume 2 is a must-have for the home cook. No matter your level of skill, you'll appreciate Chef Shellie's expertise. She is the best instructor!

Just like Vol 1, Vol 2 Soups and Stocks makes cooking easy and fun. These videos have really helped me get out of my same old thing for dinner rut. Can't wait for Vol 3!

Great for techniques so you understand the fundamentals...but not just for the beginners. Excellent for all types of learners as well (visual, auditory, doers).

Chef Shellie leads us through a number of techniques teaching us to cook from the basics to the exotic. Once you watch her on the DVD you feel like you can do it too....and you can! Showing someone the "how to's" makes it easy for even the least talented create a create meal! It's like having a cooking school right in your own home.
