I'm no Michelin star chef myself, but I thought I could at least do a half-decent job of frying an egg - then I watched this video. You'd be surprised at just how bad you are at cooking something so simple as an egg. (Breakfast will never be the same.)
For what it's worth, I highly recommend this Youtube channel - it's called The French Cooking Academy. As you might guess from the name, it's all about French cuisine. There's an official Facebook page you can check out. There's an official website, too, where you can find more recipes and an assorted menu of other goodies. Here's a little blurb from the site about its creator:
Stephan is born in France near Versailles, where his life-long love affair with the French cuisine began. Originally a home-taught chef, his techniques were further developed by reading French Culinary school books and travelling through France tasting the hundreds of specialities his country has to offer. Many of the recipes gleaned from this source are demonstrated on his YouTube channel: The French Cooking Academy.
A neat little story there, for sure, and I like the hook: Here's an everyday guy, who is basically a self-taught chef, sharing tips and techniques that are used in French cooking schools. Stephan might not turn you into the next Jacques Pepin or Fernand Point, but at least you'll be able to impress the people around your table with dishes like Bœuf Bourguignon, Ratatouille, or even a hearty Cassoulet.
The French Cooking Academy is a great resource for an easy-to-follow, step-by-step introduction to the Frenchiest food you'll ever eat ... unless you're in France (or maybe Quebec).
