Since I am good in cooking and baking, so everyone encourages me to bring it up as a profession. But for that one should have pretty good knowledge about nutrition application, baking expertise, frying and many more things, which currently I don't have. So I want to gain some more in this field. Because of my family priorities, can't go for land-based classes, so wish to learn something online.
Please suggest how to move ahead.

Online cooking school? I can't even imagine that. Why not just watch the Food Network. Alton Brown is your professor.

I am confused--you are good at cooking and baking but you have no knowledge in baking and frying? How can you be good at something you know nothing about? And I vote for on-line cooking school with Rachel Ray... and then wait for Anthony Bourdain to hunt you down and teach you the error of your ways. |

I now have coffee splattered all over my monitor! Thanks, profxfiles! ;) By the way, Anthony Bourdain can hunt me down any day! |

Cool--now I can check "Make someone on the CHE Fora spurt coffee on their monitor" off my to-do list! I would love to meet him as well--I suspect he would be a VERY interesting person to talk to... |

Oh yeah. He's sort of the quintessential 'bad boy,' isn't he? I'm not sure 'talking' was quite what I had in mind, but I'd settle for a long conversation and dinner, now that he's married and has a kid and all. ;) To the OP: Google "online cooking school"--you'll get dozens of viable hits. |

A very dear friend of mine is a brilliant cook: they come to my house and somehow make delicious meals from the meager picking in my pantry and fridgidrator. They have NO clue about nutrition.
Another dear friend can spout off the medicinal and nutritional aspects of almost any plant or chemical compound, yet cannot seem to make ramen or even nuke a bag of popcorn.
What is your goal here? to learn to cook better? or to learn about nutrition? The two are (as described above) mutually exclusive to a high degree.
If you opt for the nutrition angle, then you have to decide if an ADA-regognized degree is what you seek, or not. You also have to consider if you want to learn about it for personal gain, or if you need an accredited program for entering into practice (use of the title nutritionist is regulated in many states...)
Although it is not a peer-reviewed journal, try googling "Nutrition AND Education"

For nutrition and cooking well (and tastily), I move that Ellie Krieger be added to the faculty.

I suggest auditioning for the next Hell's Kitchen. Gordon Ramsey is tough, but if you make it through his training, you will be top notch.

Since i am interested to garnish my skills in this, have a plan to have my own restaurant for which a professional degree is a must. I have heard about the Associates degree for pursing further, is that necessary?

If you aren't sure, then an Associate degree (or certificate) from your local technical college might be a good place to start. You can find out (relatively cheaply) if you like cooking classes and are suited for them. I have seen some students who really loved a subject as a hobby but lost interest when the hobby suddenly became work.
