I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to take this course. The instructors are incredible, a great resource, and really want you to succeed. I was able to work it around my schedule, and still take a couple of trips during the timeframe of the course, and be able to complete it on time. I spent a good deal of time on it during the week but I looked forward to that time every day and feel that this was the next best thing to actually attending the school in person.

I feel like the course is so well organized that important skills were gradually introduced in different recipes, progressing from easier and simpler ones to harder ones. This really helped reduce the mental load when learning the complex pastry recipes! Chef Alissa and Jacquy read through my description for every single activity very carefully and answered any questions I had. Their feedback and suggestions really helped me understand these concepts more.

This course has been one of the best experiences for me. As a home baker, I wanted to build on my self-taught skills and know whether or not I could possibly change careers to do what I love. With the personal encouragement and comments from the professional chefs, I feel more confident to take the next step. Having an online course made it easy for me to learn these amazing recipes and the technical skills that go along with them, within my own timeframe. I can't recommend this course enough!

 by Joyce T.

I found the recipes were well written and the videos were exceptional. I feel very fortunate to have gone thru the course. The knowledge gained surpassed what I had expected.
Rouxbe continues to excel and many thanks to Chef for creating such an exceptional course.

This is my first time doing an online class, I really appreciate how professional French Pastry School is in attending to their students. From the amazing Chef support down to general and technical-related support, I am more than satisfied. I would also like to point out how well-arranged the course progression is.  It helps the students not to drown in the process but rather to savor the joy of learning in a very conducive platform.  I have been in the world of baking and pastry arts for more than 10 years and have been enrolling in various schools to further my profession. I must say, that of all the courses I have enrolled in, Introduction to Baking and Pastry Arts of French Pastry School is significant. The entire system has given me a worthwhile chapter in my career. It tickled my love for learning and cultivated my eagerness to become a better version of myself. I am once again reminded that there can be so much to discover. Indeed, the love of learning is the most necessary passion, for in it lies our happiness.

Rouxbe has online education dialed in, the course materials and videos are top-notch. The learning model is as good as it can get for a remote class model. I have also done the professional cook certification program and this course was just as well designed. I really enjoyed the entire experience.

 by Tonya D.

I really enjoyed this course. I learned so much about how to prepare for baking. I learned a lot of patience which I did not have before when I baked. The mise en place helped me a lot. The chef support and getting your grades back fast was amazing. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to enhance their skills in baking.

 by Aldo H.

I really like the interaction of the chefs with the students, they always answered my questions, were sincere and direct when rating or answering something. The navigation platform is very comfortable and easy to navigate. Very pleased. I hope that more pastry courses will come and that this is just the beginning.

 by Reena P.

This is truly a wonderful course. I would have never expected this level of learning to be achieved from an online course.

I had been following a plant based diet for a couple of years now and I needed more variety. I was getting bored with food and with that I started not getting the nutritional intake that I should have been. With this course I feel like I had a jump start in a new direction and I felt excited to try new flavors and recipes. I also loved learning about nutrients and what best serves my body while following a plant based diet.

I have loved this Rouxbe course and learned SO much! It exceeded my expectations. I'm really eager and excited to keep working on all I've learned and continue trying new things. I have so much more confidence with new skills to move forward. I have recommended this course to many people and have only the best things to say. The support has been fantastic in my case as I've struggled to recover from 2 heart attacks, not long after starting the course, and now live with a rare heart condition. (Plant-based likely saved my life with what could have been significantly worse according to my doctors!) I can't thank you enough for working with me to continue with the course and be able to complete it. You have been incredibly patient and understanding. When I recover more fully, I hope to take more courses.

ROUXBE is a very good way to learn to cook, is clear, simple and practice. I’ve significantly improved my culinary skills and my dishes taste fantastic: I’m surprised of what I’m capable to cook after my ROUXBE course.

I've really enjoyed the course. Personally I would have liked more time to complete it, but that's my own fault regarding time management. I already embrace a plant-based lifestyle but this has definitely added to my knowledge around cooking in general, how to put together meals myself, and do things properly (i.e. proper knife techniques, and preparing a mis en place.

Rouxbe has made me feel more confident in the kitchen and has taught me skills regarding cooking that I didn't have before, like knife skills. Writing about my dishes and having to describe them in detail has also helped me think about food in a different way. As a personal home cook, Rouxbe has been a good start off point to becoming a professional chef. Next I'd like to have some experience in a professional kitchen in a restaurant or at an in-person cooking school.

I loved it and was very pleasantly surprised at some of the menu options ( even tho I am not a big soy fan on principle, the chocolate tofu pie was amazing, lol) As above, my husband and I have already dramatically increased our percentage of a plant based diet over the last few years and we love the flavors and also feel more and more responsible for the effect of an animal based diet on the planet. Slowly but surely. And we invite friends to share and experience the flavors of the dishes I prepare and they are always impressed as well! thank you for the opportunity!

Rouxbe has created a program that is easy to navigate, is full of information and support, and provides the foundation needed to jump start into a deeper understanding of plant-based the culinary world. This program has met and exceeded my expectations and I feel more confident and have a firm foundation for future culinary endeavors. Online learning really is what you put into it. If you want to skip over things and put half effort in, you certainly can, but to really get the full experience- digging deep, asking questions, and putting the hours in makes ALL the difference!

This was course was amazing! I'm so please with what I've learned and I am looking forward to learning more about these topics.

As I finish the Rouxbe professional course I am very pleased at the results and accomplishments these last 6 months. My knowledge in the kitchen has been expanded beyond my wildest dreams and I feel like I've been given the confidence to tackle any recipe and the skill to make it my own. This course was my first introduction to plant based diets and I look forward to implementing the many recipes and to provide a healthy easting lifestyle to my family for years to come.

I had a lot of fun. I ate more whole foods than I normally would. I signed up for the Rouxbe Desserts course that starts about a month after this one finishes. I like the idea of maybe opening some sort of vegan food eatery some day. I don't know, we'll see.

I was overall very pleased with the course and I enjoyed most of the material and the recipes and learning all sorts of different plant based alternatives for common foods. I also feel like it is quite thorough for some basic cooking methods which is very nice as well however, personally believe that it shouldn't cost so much to get an extension or be that hard to ask to be put on hold with the course. Sometimes things come up and with this being a work at your own pace type of course that many people try to tackle while also working full-time it was difficult for me to finish in time. Some of the assignments took a lot of planning and then shopping and preparing etc so it got to be pretty time consuming which is fine but I had to get an extension which cost me almost $300 CAD and then still had a hard time finishing in time again so I am sacrificing marks because I don't want to pay another $130 US to get another month extension.

Rouxbe has broadened by ability to create and present delicious and beautiful plant-based appetizers, main dishes and desserts. This course provided a solid foundation and inspiration for me as I build flavor profiles in the whole-food, plant-based meals I prepare for my clients seeking to heal their bodies with food. Many thanks Rouxbe!

Rouxbe has helped me being more confident; I do not feel like I have pro cooking skills, but I guess this depends on the motivation. For me, I know I will probably never be a master at garnishing because I do not really care for it. But I do have another sense of what might be a good combination and I think I'm more spontaneous during cooking, and more confident in deviating from a recipe or even cooking without one, although I still prefer to cook with recipes.

I thoroughly enjoyed Rouxbe. I wish the class was available for a 1-year period, not a 6-month period. It was a difficult balance for me during the summer when I'm busy with kids home from school and a business to run. I know I could have started at a different time, still 1 year would have been nice.

The Rouxbe course has allowed me first to get better skills in cooking basics : knifes techniques, cooking techniques, pantry organisation etc. Then learning the flavor combinations, and how to elaborate a recipe make a total change to my everyday cooking. It has allowed me to think of integrating plant based cooking professionally in a near future.

Rouxbe has helped me to better understand cooking in general, and has helped me gain confidence in sharing my knowledge about cooking and sharing the food I create. I am beginning to offer plant-based alternatives for local events particularly for rural farming families for whom plant-based cuisine is often seen as countercultural and may be looked at with suspicion. I have enjoyed being vegan for 9 years, and in the past 7 months have grown to enjoy being vegan much, much more.

When I started the course, I had only been vegetarian for a few months. I tried some meal delivery services to expand my knowledge of cooking plant-based, but found that there was a lot of carbs and not much healthy, nutritious variety. Because of Rouxbe, I now have the skills to make those plant-based meals myself and have more sense of awareness when it comes to reading labels and ingredients. The course has made me actually transition to vegan now because I can make these dishes without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.

Loved this class. I took the Forks Over Knives class first. I was so sad when that one was done that I signed up for this one. Once again, I am sad it is ending. I have learned so much and greatly enjoyed expanding my horizons in the kitchen. Wish I had had even more time to explore every little detail of the course, like the live chats. I know for sure that I could not have learned as much as I did without this course. I knew I had to keep making progress to finish on time therefore I kept at it each week. My family loved all of the new flavors coming out of the kitchen. My son has a ton of allergies. One of my motivations was to learn new techniques so I could make him more foods he can eat. Now when I am cooking I can confidently make substitutions. I have even started inventing a few recipes of my own. Our family now eats so well and we all feel so healthy. Thank you!

My family is slowly appreciating Vegan cuisine. Leaving Dairy and meat is difficult for them, they are off dairy for starts. I have enjoyed the course. I have been able to alter most recipes available online/books to make them vegan and that has been very helpful for feeding my family. Giving them a healthy and tasty option.

First of all, I want to thank you for such a supportive platform. I appreciated the honesty of the instructors. The feedback was instructive and encouraging. I am not a professional chef. I took this course for two reasons -- 1. to return to a plant-based diet with more confidence and tools and 2. to be able to provide accurate information/instruction and encouraging words to my patients as they make lifestyle changes. Eventually, I would like to be able to work with several other physicians in my group to provide group appointments that will include nutritional instruction, lifestyle changes for all patients but especially those with diabetes, heart disease, depression, arthritis, etc, and interactive cooking instruction. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Thank you so much!!

Personally, I was following a plant based cuisine. Prior to the course I was not aware of things that I did not know. The course opened windows never thought possible. Even more, during the course, dishes that were prepared following base knowledge, received very good feedback and terms like "exquisite". I can say that completing the course, besides giving me confidence in cooking, new horizons of flavours and aroma were unleashed.

Rouxbe kicked my plant-based cooking style into full gear with its excellent course outline, recipes, and instructors! Rouxbe has helped me transform from a know-a-few-of-the-basics cook into a much more knowledgable chef! It's truly an amazing course -- one that isn't easy -- but one that is really worth taking! After all, nothing worthwhile is easy! But the Rouxbe Plant-Based Pro Course is most definitely rewarding and is very worthwhile. I am a much better cook now than I was a few months ago! Thank you Rouxbe! And my many thanks to all of the instructors whose various comments helped form my way!

Taking this course has increased my passion for cooking and increased my confidence in the kitchen. Having the ranking and the grades pages on the site, kept me on my toes and competitive. I am without a doubt so grateful for this experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat. What a brilliant concept. Being held accountable for the learning with tests and dish submittals is really the best way to learn. I'm so excited to have this certification and my family is grateful for my new set of skills.
