Our Philosophy

I watched another episode of the Next Food Network Star the other night. Each of the contestants was asked for their "culinary philosophy." That started me thinking..... a lot of the stories and recipes included on this blog follow the "culinary philosophy" of In Good Taste. Our goals at the cooking school, and with this blog, are to help foodies indulge in their culinary fantasies; to help cooks be successful with recipes; to encourage use of local products and ingredients; and, to generally explore the great world of food and cooking. There are excellent websites for restaurant reviews, informative websites for shopping in the Pearl, and extensive websites for ingredients, cookbooks and cookware. We want only to bring you the best information and tips that will enhance your cooking adventures.

It would be fascinating read how the "Hot" chefs of today would describe their personal philosophies.
"Why they do what they do and how they do it" Not mechanics or technique but the rules and reasons of their professional activities.

Recently, a friend told me that his daughter was just finishing her studies at a local culinary academy. I asked what she would be doing after graduation and he said something a short-term job at a local country club and then he told me that what she really wanted to do was to become a "TV Chef" and I found that strange. I've always thought of TV Chefs like Master Class teachers. People who have reached a level of skill and profession through years of practice and then pass on their knowledge to novices and amateurs. Not a career in itself the culimnation of a career.
