The first clip begins with Ramsay praising the food made by a young girl on MasterChef Junior. If anyone stumbles upon this class and doesn’t already know who Ramsay is, they are in for a treat. Like in a real classroom, before starting any work, you get a chance to meet Gordon Ramsay, in online video form. Since my ability was rather limited to basic knife skills and Hamburger Helper, I was glad to see that the first lesson wasn’t actually a lesson at all. So, on a cold, wet Sunday in late April I got to work.
In fact, before starting this class, I still didn’t know how to do most of those things. Before I met my wife, I didn’t even know how to properly use a crock pot, let alone follow an elaborate recipe for Beef Wellington or how to make pasta that didn’t come out of a box. I don’t think I need to point out that I’m not a trained chef. To find out if it is, I took Ramsay’s 20-part online course. Paying less than a hundred dollars to learn all there is to know from one of the best chefs in the world seems too good to be true. What if that person, on top of being one of the most respected in his or her field, is also an international television star and celebrity chef? In the case of Gordon Ramsay’s MasterClass, you would be paying $90. What would you pay to learn from a master? Someone at the top his or her profession.
