Introduction to the Food Presenting Master Class for Culinary Professionals and Home Cooks
Learn to be a better live, in-person, or on-camera, food presenter or demonstrator with this Master Class!
For chefs and culinary professionals, cooking is easy, however add in explaining what you are doing, while fielding questions from a host or audience (and maybe trying not to forget to plug your restaurant, bakery, or new cookbook in the process) and the task suddenly becomes more challenging. Therefore, whether you are cooking on television or performing in front of a live audience, conducting a food demonstration is not an easy walk in the park. Culinary cooking demos require special skills, detailed planning, preparation, and extensive practice.
Drawing on years of experience working and teaching students and professionals about television, radio and print media, Chef Colin Roche has designed a series of online video lessons on the topic of how to present an effective cooking demonstration. Whether you want to cook or prepare food & drink on television, make YouTube videos, or do demonstrations in front of live audiences, these video lessons will teach you the skills you need to do it with confidence.
In this first introductory video, Chef Roche provides a brief overview of some of the topics that the specific video lessons in this master course will cover. Chef Colin Roche, PhD, MBA, CEC, CCE, FMP, CHE is an experienced culinary media trainer and has designed and filmed these comprehensive video lessons to provide you with the skills and confidence all culinary professionals / food & beverage creators need in order to conduct an effective food demonstration or presentation.
The goal of these online, self-paced video lessons is to help you replace intimidation and fear with confidence and energy and, ultimately, to help chefs, culinary educators, product spokespeople, and cookbook authors perform as well in front of the camera as they do behind the stove.
