Well Produced - Information Packed

by Steve Howard
(New Braunfels, TX)

While I am not a formally trained chef/Cook, I have attended many cooking classes, including those from the Culinary Institute of America. I have always wanted to break away from the cookbook style of cooking and to better understand what was happening and how to execute with my own spin on the dishes I prepared. While these classes were good, I still lacked a good understanding of the basics and how to come up with my own "recipe".

Not only did Chef Todd's DVD and vast library of instructional videos help me better understand the basics, he did what the classes were unable to do - show me how to "Burn My recipes".

This first DVD in what I hope will be a continuing series of DVD's improves on the online videos with more information and much better quality.

I have also produced informational videos and am usually quite critical of quality of many of the currently available "do it yourself" videos. Chef Todd pleasantly surprised me with a good knowledge of how to produce a good DVD.

Many producers overlook the little things like easy ordering and using a local microphone to overcome the nasty echos you get when recording with an on camera microphone.

My only suggestion: Include some outtakes next time, you are enjoyable to watch!

Congratulations, Chef! I will be waiting for your next DVD.
