About! TV media training for cooks !

We are dedicated to provide home chefs, professional chefs, mixologists and other professionals in the food industry the best tools for a successful media appearance.

We will elaborate on each students’ passion about food, drink or products from TV to radio.

You want to do a TV cooking segment, become a television chef, cast for a cooking show or learn how to cook and talk at the same time while smiling and engaging the audience? Once you get that first opportunity for that cooking segment – You want to be invited back!

It doesn’t matter if you attended culinary school or not! You can cook and want to do it on TV successfully with a fun and likeable personality.

To be a TV cooking personality and be scheduled for local or national segments you need to SELL the viewers! You need to engage the audience and manage your time well while being courteous to the hosts!

Looking and feeling confident is the first step to success. I know that constant smile feels uncomfortable but it looks really good on TV and it makes the viewers happy.

If you want to audition for a cooking show the main characteristic they are looking for is personality! A big personality.. The cooking is actually a small piece of it. You decided to take the chance to audition – Then you can cook!

I could barely contain my excitement as I drove up to the gates of NBC News where I was about to meet Cindy for the first time. I had spoken with her the night before about how I would get a first-hand look behind the scenes of her segment. “What a way to meet your future boss!” I thought to myself. As Cindy arrived, a bit eager to get inside, I realized I was definitely in for a treat (a delightful one at that!)
