What Our Clients Are Saying...

"During Steve's training session, it became quickly apparent that he was a polished professional who knew the media business. His training techniques really demonstrated simply and effectively how to be comfortable and make an impact in front of the camera."

- Tom Meade, Executive Chef, SBC Center, San Antonio, TX

"After spending time with Steve, I felt like I definitely had more tools that would allow me to ace my next television appearance. Luckily, it didn't take long to have an opportunity to try them out. I followed Steve's recipe for success and made it my own. Without a doubt, I was definitely a better guest chef after having undergone media training with Steve Dolinsky. I'm already looking forward to my next call from a television producer to have another chance to demonstrate all I learned from Steve!"

- Andrew Dornenburg, Chef & Author of: Becoming A Chef, Culinary Artistry, Dining Out, Chef's Night Out and The New American Chef

"All you wanted to know about TV but didn't know who to ask. Anyone who wants to step up in their career should try Culinary Communication 101. The training has been incredibly useful, not only for TV, but for all of my public appearances. Thank you so much!"

- Roberto Santibañez, Culinary Director, Rosa Mexicano Restaurants, New York and Washington D.C.

"Steve threw us lots of curve balls during the mock sessions on camera during media training, and that is exactly how it unfolds on live TV. The entire class was great, but this was most beneficial."

- Laurie Potts, Executive Chef, Ford Field, Detroit, MI

"I found Steve's media training sessions to be very energetic and informative. The training helped me fill in many of the gaps when being interviewed: where to stand, where to look, what to do if the interview is cut short, and how to be prepared for the unknown. Overall, it gave me a much better understanding of what an Interviewer/Producer actually wants me cover in a three-and- half-minute cooking demonstration, and how to pull it off looking like a pro."

- Chandon Clenard, former Executive Chef, Blue Mermaid Chowder House, San Francisco
currently Director of Food and Beverage, O & S Holdings

"I loved the media training and thought Steve was great...wished that I had this three years ago. Very informative. Thanks very much!"

- Sharyl Seim, Executive Chef, Kuleto's Italian Restaurant, San Francisco

"I think Steve did a wonderful job of giving us insight into both good and bad chef presentations, what the studios do and how to be better prepared. It's a good class for all chefs before they do any on-the-air cooking."

- Rhonda Marion, General Manager, Park Place, Cupertino, CA
