My brother-in-law is a fledgling cook and for Christmas my parents got him a gift certificate for Let's Dish (in Mankato, MN, I think, so they're spreading!) so he could get out and learn about other recipes and options and the like. I don't know if he kept going after using his gift certificate, but I do seem to recall that he liked the meals and the learning experience!
He really enjoys making new recipes, and since my sister and I were raised in a more typical meat-and-potatoes home and about two years ago he was doing well if he didn't burn oatmeal, Let's Dish allowed him to try a few things he might now have been willing to do on his own. He now puts out quite a spread for family holidays and even though he doesn't eat many vegetables, he has learned a lot of new ways of preparing them so that those of us who do get more than reheated frozen corn.
I keep waiting for someone to open a franchise in La Crosse, WI, so I can try it out! I think our nearest is in Rochester, which isn't too far (about an hour and a half), but we aren't up there all that regularly.
