Rouxbe - Taking Online Video Instruction to a New Level

How would you like a professional Chef in your kitchen demonstrating step-by-step instructions? Rouxbe (roo-bee), a revolutionary online instructional cooking video company is working to make that a reality. Rouxbe's incredible vision is radically changing the rules of the game on the way instructional video is presented to people, by transforming the video experience from passive to interactive.

When I first encountered their site, I was immediately impressed by the exceptionally clean design. Apart from it being very attractive and easy to navigate, their videos provide clear, concise, and uninterrupted culinary instruction and techniques. The richly interactive and step-by-step videos give control back to the user, allowing them to pause and "drill down" for further information, if desired. From novices to seasoned cooks, Rouxbe has interesting tips to offer and brings an entirely new level of learning. Available 24/7, they are changing the way people can approach recipes and culinary information. Take your laptop into your kitchen to easily prepare delicious, healthy, and homemade meals.

Clearly, Dawn Thomas and Joe Girard, the co-founders of Rouxbe, are passionate about what they are building and feel it is important to give back. Right out of the gate, Rouxbe has also established Rouxbe for Life, where 15% of all member fees (not profits) are donated to the UN World Food Program. Click on Rouxbe's membership options to obtain a free trial or purchase your yearly membership. Better yet, if you sign up as a founding member before June 1st, 2007, you will enjoy lifetime videos for a very small fee.

Being that it is Earth Day, something else came to mind. Rouxbe's advanced technology is saving many trees. No longer are cookbooks needed in print. This is definitely one company I'm interested in following.
