Vancouver, BC, November 23, 2009 -- Rouxbe.
com, the world s first-ever online
cooking school, knows that preparing and cooking a Thanksgiving turkey dinner can
strike fear in the hearts of home cooks.
Expectations are high, there are lots of
dishes, and lots of questions: How to brine a turkey? How long to cook a turkey?
How to carve a turkey?
This holiday season, Rouxbe.
com offers free online tools, including Tony
Minichiello s (co-founder Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver) Thanksgiving
turkey tips ( http://rouxbe.
com/thanksgiving-dinner/tips ), Thanksgiving dinner
recipes, and step-by-step, high-definition instructional videos on how to cook a
turkey.
Rouxbe also leads home chefs through one of the most difficult aspects of
preparing any meal: how to manage multiple dishes simultaneously, so that
everything reaches the table hot, delicious, and most importantly - at the same
time.
"I ve been teaching people how to cook for 15 years and I can honestly say that the
Rouxbe Cooking School can teach some concepts better than I can, and in much less
time," said Tony Minichiello, co-owner of Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver,
Rouxbe culinary instructor, and avid blogger.
"Video, if well scripted and
performed, is the tool of the future for any culinary student.

Main Course: The Multi-task Player
At Rouxbe, ( http://rouxbe.
com/thanksgiving-dinner ) cooks will find a traditional
Thanksgiving menu and recipes, but that s where similarities to other online
cooking websites end.
With Rouxbe s unique multi-task player, cooks are led through
each recipe via close-up, high-definition videos in chronological order: two to
three days before, one day before, and Thanksgiving Day (the big day).
The "day of"
video series is broken down into 17 detailed steps, providing a complete guide from
the time the cook puts the turkey into the oven, to the instant the complete meal
reaches the table.
Home cooks will know not merely how to precisely prepare each
recipe, but they will be guided for three days, so that they know when to start
each step, systematically preparing each dish in a way that is virtually stressfree.
