Stella Culinary School

I’ve listened to nearly the entire series in a short time back-to-back. I am looking forward to going through it again and taking a deep dive, practicing Chef Jacobs’s techniques and teachings. Informative, well produced, great non-stop listening. I ordered the F-STEP Boot Camp. Once through the podcast a second tome, I’m doing the boot camp. As if the podcast weren’t enough his web site has so much content with videos, anyone who puts in the effort will grow as a cook. As if that’s not enough, having been a couple years since the last episode, I had a question, shot Chef Jacob an email, not expecting a reply, and he responded quickly. Amazing dedication to the culinary arts and people wanting to hone, explore, begin, or reboot their craft. Thank you Chef!

One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in a long time. There is so much information in each episode. It’s helped my bread baking so much.

I can’t believe how much information is contained in each episode - for anyone who really loves cooking and wants to improve, this is pure gold. Thank you for the excellent, thorough and entertaining episodes!

Chef Jacob is a refreshingly intelligent and irreverent podcaster. I love his scientific approach, joie de vivre, and disdain for anyone riding a high horse. His bread series, in particular the sourdough, has been a huge help to me as a baker. His other podcasts are entertaining and have helped me immensely with basic skills that help you become a more well rounded and independent cook. I can’t recommend this series enough. Thanks Chef Jacob.
