"Cooking with the Movies"

This is a great way to introduce students to examples in movies of individuals expressing passion with food and cooking. The authors of the book represented, Anthony Chiffolo and Rayner Hesse, discuss how they prepared the same meals that were represented in classic foodie movies like Babette's Feast, and include information and recipes in the book that they co-wrote and are reviewing in the video piece. This would be a way to talk about cooking and media links without the time investment of watching the movies (but you could still view pieces), but most of all the movies highlighted clearly present the passion that surrounds food and it's preparation, which is important for future chefs to realize.

Podcast Subscriptions

I was very excited to find quite a few free podcasts from the Culinary Institute of America on Itunes. There were 3 which I subscribed to and watched:

• Catalonia Highlights and Cuisine    11 min.
• The Island Cooking of Crete           19 min.
• A Market Tour of Athens                15 min.

The podcasts were videos, and were quite interesting and informative.  All would be good examples of items that I could use in my culinary academy classes. I liked the fact that cultural information and historical highlights were included in each of the podcasts, which is an important aspect when speaking about the cuisine of a country. The Athens podcasts was the least professionally done, there were some fuzzy scenes and it was the least interesting of the podcasts. I have purchased CIA materials for classroom use in the past and it is wonderful to find materials which are available for free use.

Article Review: Media Literacy: A National Priority for a Changing World

Welcome to my Blog Culinaire !

I created this blog as an assignment in another course, and will continue to use it to post assignments for EDUC 552. I have used this blog in the past with my academy students, along with a schoolfusion page. Currently, my class is working with an Angel account for our courses, so this blog has been neglected this semester. I like to use a blog to post current events and articles for students to read and comment on, and also to show them projects that I create for my own classes.

I'm looking forward to learning more about multimedia and technology in this class... Maybell
