Cooking Shows Move to YouTube

A quick YouTube search for 'cooking' turns up a woman examining a handful of green vegetables in her garden. "Oh, they're ripe," she says, walking past the camera as the "Cooking With Love" title appears on the screen.
The video, which educates the viewer on kitchen gardens and traditional Lebanese food, is a family affair, and proves both the far-reaching power of the Web and a unifying love of food that reaches across borders.

Host Your Own Online Cooking Class

Have you ever wanted to be a star? With a little education under your belt, you could teach others online. Distance learning cooking courses can help you learn the basics, which you can then use to impress family and friends or even start an online cooking show of your own.
Of course, these video cooking shows are just for fun. For real lessons, aspiring chefs and restaurant workers turn to accredited culinary institutes for training in catering, gourmet cooking, restaurant management, and more.

Free Advertising for Catering Companies

Hosting your own cooking show might not bring in the big bucks, but the free advertising might have surprising benefits to those with catering aspirations. YouTube advertisements for catering companies are easy to find, such as Hannibal's Catering in Sacramento. The clip features chocolate fountains, decadent desserts, and other tempting treats in the hopes of bringing in more business.
Distance learning catering courses are easy to find as well, and can give new business owners an additional boost. Courses in business practices and management, food sanitation and safe practices, and other basics provide a basis that catering companies can use to go professional.
