Geeked Podcaster

It has been about a month since I launched this blog project and it's companion podcast http://www.blogtalkradio.com/giantforkandspoon  and I'm loving it. Today's broadcast was made extra special since we had our first live caller!

Speaking with all of these food lovers can reinvigorate my spirit and ignite a new spark because sometimes chefs can get a bit burned out and needing something to get you motivated. Educating the kids that I serve gives me much more than I give out and in many ways they have all become my kids from other mothers.

With today's guest, Chef Teoskii Washington, I am proud to see him utilize some of the advice he sought from me in the past and how well it is being put to use. I am also glad that I was careful when I did give other's advice because positive results are not guaranteed.

Our caller asked for advice about entering the industry and we suggested a couple of books to read in preparation:

The Mind of a Chef, by Breville, there is a video series as well:

Professional Cooking by W. Gisslen

There are many more offerings that can point young aspiring chefs in the right direction. So glad we could help.
