Sound was inconsistent in the videos and he could use a tripod so he can film hands free. However, I did learn some useful information that I hadn't heard before.

So far, so good. Learning a lot.

By James Phillips on 6/25/2020

Audio and lighting are not consistent. Some are good, some are bad. He's a little hard to understand for me with his accent, but the content is good.

By Joe Sill on 4/18/2020

Definitely a good course, a little more oriented towards British food and not-super-healthy food than I expected, but I am getting a lot of value out of it anyway.

By Kirsten on 4/6/2020

It has very simple and clear instructions with very clear parameters on how to cook foods in different ways. Overall an awesome course for someone with little to no cooking skills.
