Favorite TeacherTube Video

"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.
