this wasn't completely clear to me but what is the difference between that and just watching a video? when cooking, you learn by doing, not just watching.

The difference is this. A video is one way communication. A Hangout is two way. You interact with the chef and the chef can watch you as you cook along with him/her. This way, you can ask real time questions via webcam and the chef can watch you as you watch them. Classes are limited to 10 total seats, so up to 9 people can learn from one chef at a time and then, when the chef leaves as class ends, they can dine together if they wish. It's a way for families and friends to bridge geographical barriers.
