Udemy review

Udemy works when you know exactly which skill you want and would rather pay once than subscribe. Its Cooking topic page lists 371 courses with 580,116 learners and an average course rating of 4.4, and describes courses on knife skills, stocks and sauces, meats, eggs and grains, and global and plant-based dishes, aimed at home cooks and aspiring chefs alike. The page also counts 204 hands-on practice items. Courses are bought one at a time; on the US App Store the base Udemy Course price is $9.99, with course tiers above it, such as $14.99 and $19.99. The trade-off is consistency. Each course is made by an independent instructor, so teaching quality, video production and depth vary from one course to the next, and there is no single path that takes you from basics to advanced technique. Read the curriculum, preview lessons and check the course's own ratings before buying, and treat Udemy as a way to fill one gap rather than as a full cooking school.
