People wonder about the point of making food look creative. The point is simply to make a dish look beautiful and appealing, bringing new flavors to the dish. There is a high level of creativity that’s being used in the culinary arts field as we speak. Creativity plays an important role, because if the dish that your preparing don’t look eatable wouldn’t nobody eat it. It also brings new things to the dish that did not exist before. The culinary arts field is all about enthusiasm, passion, and creativity. Some students went to school for culinary arts because they wanted to learn about the proper techniques in cooking and how it affected the way food could look. For example, when students go to college and take culinary arts classes they get a chance to participate in scholarship competitions, not only do they compete they have to make two creative dishes off of raw talent. They stared off teaching them about exotic cuisine and cooking techniques they never used before. The chef instructor and coordinator Richard Weber starts with a short lecture that will explain to them why creativity is such an important thing to them. That would guide those who wanted to learn more about creativity, without the help of the classes, which later leads to the desire of wanting to come out with their own line of special dishes. Their experience with different chef instructors and executive chefs inspire them to approach Weber job. Although there are many ways to be creative with food, using the way ones being taught is the easiest. Some of these culinarians that’s being creative today started that the very bottom, like most of chefs does. While others just went straight to being a chef because of how good they were. The scholarship competition draws out a complete outline on how to go about the steps of being creative with food. This competition shows people that they can achieve any goal that they want to

    Michael Pollan’s “Out of the Kitchen, Onto the Couch”, is a stimulating article that starts out with Pollan describing how he watches Julia Child on the TV show, “The French Chef” as a child with his mother after school, then eating Julia’s recipes for dinner. Pollan’s purpose in writing this article is to bring people’s attention to the reasons why there is a decrease of home cooking and an increase of processed (fast) foods. Pollan supported his view by taking the readers through culinary history from Julia Child to the Food Network. Pollan’s goal is to encourage people to cook more by themselves rather than ordering food.…

Even as his fandom grew, he didn’t become egotistical. Louis Szathmary is the foundation novice chefs and the highlight to many culinary books across America.…

    We have explored a variety of writing styles with food as the central theme throughout. My first essay was an ode to steak, which took you through all the senses from the hint of smell to the first savory bite. The second essay was a deconstruction of meatballs and how my first true cooking experience came about. Next was an essay on the adventures of Chinese cuisine and the garlic phenomenon. The last essay was to capture and critique a moment shared with lobster. I am proud of all my essays. If I must choose a favorite; then I select “No Ordinary Meatballs”. The essays on steak, Chinese cuisine, and lobster were all experience-based accounts. These were unique accounts, which were sought out, in one form or another. However, my meatballs…

    Cooks are also very competitive and are extreme perfectionists. In a large, full-scale kitchen, there are many stations in which a cook could specialize. Sometimes more than forty cooks in a single restaurant compete for the best positions. A garde-manger is the lowest position while hot appetizers and pasta and risotto stations are of higher levels. The most wanted stations are the positions at the fish, meat and grill lines, where the main courses are prepared (Hesser, 3). Mr. Patel, owner of Zarole in Ridgewood, New Jersey, tells of his experience in an internship in France through John Foy's article, "What Stirred Young Chefs to Excel." "One day the chef had me in the freezer for two hours forming 200 scoops of ice cream into egg shapes. He didn't like one of the shapes, so he destroyed all of them and made me start over" (Foy, 3). The perfection that cooks must reach brings more pressure to their world of cooking. Cooks have to be organized and efficient, very well networked, and very patient. Amanda Hesser writes about this in her article, "So You Think Your Kitchen Is Small?" To be organized and efficient means to have decreased the amounts of extra equipment using only what is a necessity, streamlining their foods, and learning to take very efficient approaches to cooking (Hesser, 2). Next, networking can be very beneficial, but can also be very…

    When I started think about my senior project I knew that my main idea should be cooking. I had few more ideas, but cooking come up the most. After few days of research I created a plan to succeed in my senior project. Harriet Van Horne, an American newspaper columnist and film/television critic, once said: “Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” With it in mind I started working on my World cook book, and as expected it was complicated but doable. First I had to take an online class there I’d learn cooking basics. My teacher was Cathy Erway. She is the author of a book “The Art of Eating In: How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove.” The course is based on this book. After taking it, I think she is very talented mentor and cook, because when she taught me on how to cook myself and not rely on someone else. She gave me good ideas on where to find fresh vegetables and fruits, on how make some dishes and salads quick, told me many cook’s tricks and tips. This was very comprehensive but easy to learn class, and I learn a lot. One advantage of this course was that I can take it at my own pace, with no deadlines. In the first day, after glancing at the course syllabus, I thought I can complete it in 5 to 7 days, but it took me 2 weeks to finish it. In each class of this course Cathy picks one new recipe of a dish, specific to a new country, and shoots a video of how properly cook it. We, as students were able to ask Cathy questions related to that course, and I used this option when I made my own dishes for the project.…

    Ms. Bisson stewed her ideas for 10 years until she finally applied and won a research grant allowing her to work with dieticians and chefs to create recipes for plates made without without preservatives, artificial colours or sugar. Their creations are beautiful, spanning all the colours of the spectrum with carved designs of varying thicknesses. Recipes are primarily vegetable-based, so the plates and containers are nutritious. Two hundred of her 400 edible prototypes were prepared for Ms. Bisson's new book launch at commissaries design gallery in Montreal. They were very tasty, according to gallery owner Pierre Laramée.…
