No matter how many times you watch the celebrity chefs on The Food Network create a delicious recipe, chances are you own attempts at recreating the dish just don’t look – or probably taste – as good.

The problem isn’t necessarily you. Celebrity chefs have years of training, a behind-the-scenes culinary staff backing them up and the chance to edit in the perfect dish if their on-camera creation doesn’t turn out just right. It’s fun TV, but your at home reality can be a big disappointment.

Not to worry. There’s a locally produced on-line cooking show, how2heroes.com, that not only demonstrates how to make some incredible meals, but goes the extra distance to make sure you know what you are doing, and can coach you on what to do when things go wrong.

“We do everything we can to make sure each video we do is as user friendly as possible,” said Lynne Viera, president and CEO of how2heroes. “If people can’t make the same dish in their home, then what’s the point of doing it?”

The site features a wide selection of topics from Quick & Easy Weeknight Meals to a special section that will help you master the cooking techniques the Food Network chefs assume you already know, like how to debone a chicken or the easiest way to shuck an oyster. Along with demonstrations by a selection of local guest chefs, the site features some surprise guests that may not have ‘chef’ before their name, but who still know how to cook.

“We filmed my mom for the apple pie video,” Viera said. “She’s 79-years old with more than 50 years experience making pies. Who else am I going to trust when it comes to making crust? She actually turned out to be one of our most popular videos on the site. People still keep sending in photos of the pies they made using her recipe.”
