"wow! I did it. I never thought I would've been able to make a dish like this. it was all to the help of Rouxbe step to step video tours thanks once more," ★★★★★
"I really enjoyed the frittata lesson. This has traditionally been one of my husband's go-to dishes. He does them so well that I never learned. I am so pleased to have acquired this skill." ★★★★★
"The lesson is excellent. However, the new interface is clumsy and tedious. The old interface was so much easier to use and was quicker, with far less mouse clicks required. Sometimes change is NOT for the better! Why not display all tasks one after another on the same page? And allow the videos to play right on the page where its image is displayed? Not all this "Back to Task", "Next", "Previous" wastefulness." ★★★★★
"I have a very good understanding to make a consistent frittata in the future" ★★★★★
"Very Easy to follow the instructions. I have been making frittatas for awhile but this lesson showed me the proper way to do it." ★★★★★
"This lesson was easy to follow and wel explained. I enjoy working with Rouxbe" ★★★★★
