Salted

Occasionally, my husband turns me on to really cool concepts (Whimseybox, Bill Evans, and grits), and Salted is gonna go down in history as one of his all-time greatest suggestions.

Salted is an online cooking school. Over the past few weeks, I've become increasingly interested in learning to cook. I've been seriously considering attending a 2-day bootcamp at the Culinary Institute of America. I want so badly to go there because CIA is such a prestigious school and I'd love to say that I trained there! I'd also love the excuse to take 2 days off from work and roam the city. *edit* my husband has informed me that CIA is not in the city-there goes my whole plan. (I have a real problem with tangents).

Back to Salted. This site is PERFECT for me because I'm very much a get-in-and-get-out kind of girl and I've yet to watch a video lasting more than 20 minutes. Salted offers brand new courses on a monthly basis led by awesome chefs located throughout the country. The first month of your membership is free and will run you $9.99 per month after. In addition to offering a decent collection of cooking videos, a membership will give you unlimited access to their chef hotline which offers answers to your most pressing questions in 30 minutes or less.

I've been signed up for about a week and a half and I have completed 3 courses thus far.

• Fundamental Knife Skills with Jonathan Benno of LINCOLN RISTORANTE
• The Essentials of Seasoning with Daniel Holzman of THE MEATBALL SHOP
• Grilled Cheese Masterclass with Dave Danhi-founder of THE GRILLED CHEESE TRUCK 
• All About the Avocado Masterclass with Bryon Freeze of CIRCA MANHATTAN BEACH

A FUCKING GRILLED CHEESE MASTERCLASS. I can't think of anything I'd rather watch.

If you have any interest in learning how to cook from really cool, knowledgeable chefs while in the comfort of your own yoga pants home for a fair price, I recommend it. If you have no desire to know what parmesan-crusted grilled cheese is, then disregard this post (and let's not be friends).
