Exciting things are coming for our Sous Chef members!

I'm sick of relying on emails for our livestream links and replays.

Soon, if you're a member, you'll not only be able to find all your classes in one spot, you'll be able to find the recipes and other tips and tricks as well!

And as an added bonus to our Annual members: You'll not only get access to all your replays, you'll have access to EVERY replay for EVERY class we've ever streamed. That's over 350 classes, going back to August of 2023, when we opened.

Personally, I don't recommend watching those. We've gotten significantly better in the years since...

Also: It's super cool you can watch our replays at 1.75x speed on our YouTube video player... but maybe don't tell me that... I don't want to imagine my voice at 1.75x....
