    In a time of strict academic holds in the artistic world, Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel moved the art of sculpting into the future. Known by many as “the father of modern sculpture (Bio.),” Rodin has produced such a great number of notable works that he is one of the “few artists recognizable to the general public (Brucker).” As art was shifting from the portrayal of mythical scenes and historical events to a focus on everyday life in the Impressionist period, Rodin brought attention to the lives common people through sculpture. It can be derived from his failed attempts in applying to the classic schools of his time that Rodin did not set out to revolutionize art in his field, but his unconventional style ended up completely changing what sculpture means to the world (Musee Rodin).…

    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.…

    I always loved to cook, I remember how young I was when I started making pancakes and scrambled eggs in the morning. I would wake up early just to make breakfast for my family. The best satisfaction was to watch them enjoy my food and taste my creation that I made especially for them. At first I thought it was just a hobby that I loved to do here and there but as I became older I started to grow passion for the food culture. Although there were few times I had accidents in the kitchen like burning the food or even burning myself, I never gave up, on the other hand I would tell my grandmother to teach me some of her recipes and tips to better myself in the…

    I chose Louis Szathmary to be my chef role model. I admire how he built a foundation for many other culinary artists in either America or Europe. He donated countless book in order to further the education and skills for old and upcoming chefs. Szathmary’s skills were extraordinary and gave insight to those who sought him as a role model. 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.…

    The article that I read was a book signing Thomas Keller did with a private interview. Chef Keller spoke about his restaurants, his successes and his failures: “I’ve failed a couple of times”, said Keller. “In a way, it’s an exciting time when you fail. It helps you learn how to become more successful”. Chef Keller is certainly no stranger to success. His brother Joseph is a chef as well and he introduced him to cooking. He taught me how to make hollandaise, roast a prime rib, cook lobster tail, flank steak and make omelets. He was my first introduction to cooking. His selection for French cuisine came from his interest in the lifestyle and the culture of the French people that…

    Before the the french revolution great chefs were employed by houses of french nobility. With the revolution and the end of the monarchy, many chefs, suddenly out of work, opened restaurants in and around Paris to support themselves. At the start of the french revolution, there were about fifty restaurants in Paris. Ten years later, there were about five hundred. Another important invention that changed the organization of kitchens in the eighteenth century was the stove. This innovation gave cooks a more practical and controllable heat source than an open fire. Soon enough commercial kitchens became divided into three departments: the rotisserie, under the control of the meat chef; the oven, under control of the pastry chef; and the stove, run by the cook. All the changes that took place in the world of cooking during the 1700's led to, for the first time, a difference between home cooking and professional cooking.…
