Cooking Old School Keeps It Human

When you mix the age groups of cooks in the kitchen, the talk will get around to howit used to be.  And while technology has advanced cooking styles, there is still a lot of wisdom to befound in old school preparation and cooking.In old school, you passed it on face to face. Ingenuity was king.  And this never goes out of style in the kitchen. For instance, a great recipe is hidden in the vault if there is no one to pass it along, nurture it, or keep it alive. Take  good communication with purveyors which was and still is an important factor in cooking. Teaming up with vendors, face to face,  was how new recipes weretested and tried.  Good resultsrequired perfect communication and the exchange of ideas that can be hamperedby today’s text-mad world.  Cooking old school is aided by human contact, which greatly impacts learning. While using e-mail, posting commentson message boards, or using chat rooms to broaden learning is good, it still doesn't have the impact of live communication, face to face.  Eddie’s Communication Magic—Step away from the text to feel the interaction. Keep it real.
