"As you follow along with this DVD, you'll utilize techniques and recipes as you learn skills you can apply to every meal. With each segment, you'll know more -- not because you've memorized anything, but because you understand the fundamentals. With a little practice, you'll be able to cook delicious meals on your own -- without using a recipe!"--Container.
