Welcome to the Gilded Fork Cooking School!

Many of you have asked us to delve deeper into cooking & lifestyle fundamentals and how-tos, so we're excited to launch this online school to help you master those skills and take you to the next level of cooking and entertaining.

Cooking With Chef Mark

This is the school for you if who want to learn tips and tricks for improving your cooking from a seasoned professional personal chef.

Chef's Mark's Cooking Tips are collections of short audio tips on a variety of cooking subjects. Little gems to keep under your hat to help your day to day cooking.

Knife Skills 101: Our first video series designed to give you the skills you need to handle knives like a pro.

Coming Soon: Chef Mark will be making video lessons on specific foundational cooking techniques. It's like a video culinary school!

Bachelor's Boot Camp (Coming Soon)

If you're a single guy, Jennifer is going to teach you how to seduce -- via the palate. With how-tos on everything from cooking basics to disguising take-out, you will learn how to engage her senses at the table, priming them for the delicious things to (hopefully) come later.

 

Gilded Fork Entertaining Guides & Recipe Collections

Here's where we have text-based guides to entertaining, mixology, and lifestyle to help you enjoy your leisure time with panache. We've put together an Entertaining Survival Guide as a companion to our Gilded Fork: Entertaining at Home cookbook, as well as collections of some of our best recipes.

 

We'd love to know what you want to learn, and we'll craft our classes to suit your needs, so now's the time to let us know. Always wanted to learn how to braise? How to work with puff pastry? How to seduce your lover via the plate?

Here are some we're thinking about:

Easy Appetizers
Soup Basics
Meats 101: Know Your Cuts & Cooking
Fabulous Foolproof Fishes
Weeknight Meals

Please add your suggestions to the discussion we're having on the main Gilded Fork site. We also invite you to register for the Cooking School and take a look at our free previews. There's lots more to come in the new year!

And if you are a restaurant owner, we'll soon be unveiling our Restaurant Social Media 101 course to help you master the elements of social media and leverage your online presence.
