What do members say about the club?

Last week I realized that I am using almost exclusively Chef Laura Bonicelli recipes! Why? Because I can always trust that what I serve will be delicious. Laura tests her recipes, so I do not have to.  I recommend the club to everyone who wants to serve delicious, healthy food, and improve their knowledge and techniques. Thanks, Chef Laura!

I have a crazy schedule.  I joined the club for the Holiday Survival Tool Kit to help me navigate the season.  Not only did I go through that course, I also went through the entire Basics course and now I’m hooked on the 28-Day reset.  I can’t wait to start Baking Basics!

I love the club!  I joined in the beginning and have attended almost every single weekly webinar.  That’s my favorite part – but also – I go back to “The Basics” course all the time.  I can never remember how to cut up a chicken – it’s all right there for me.

long-standing club member, annual member

One of my biggest concerns was that the information would be too advanced for me – or not advanced enough.  I think Chef Laura is correct.  If you love food – you belong here.  I have built on my skills and am cooking at a much higher level.
