In this industry, you can either settle for less or strive to be better. In Achatz’s case, he pushed himself to do more and the end results were outstanding. From working for his parents restaurant, to the opening of his first restaurant, he never doubted himself. Grant Achatz, is the only American chef to master the art of Molecular Gastronomy. People sought after progressive cuisine to at least experience it once. This family man and cancer survivor is a prime example of heroism.…
Sue Ward is worried, because the head chef’s offensive manners have negative effects on the other members on the staff. And she thinks that good staff relations are nor less important than the customer’s satisfaction.…
Cooks are also very competitive and are extreme perfectionists. In a large, full-scale kitchen, there are many stations in which a cook could specialize. Sometimes more than forty cooks in a single restaurant compete for the best positions. A garde-manger is the lowest position while hot appetizers and pasta and risotto stations are of higher levels. The most wanted stations are the positions at the fish, meat and grill lines, where the main courses are prepared (Hesser, 3). Mr. Patel, owner of Zarole in Ridgewood, New Jersey, tells of his experience in an internship in France through John Foy's article, "What Stirred Young Chefs to Excel." "One day the chef had me in the freezer for two hours forming 200 scoops of ice cream into egg shapes. He didn't like one of the shapes, so he destroyed all of them and made me start over" (Foy, 3). The perfection that cooks must reach brings more pressure to their world of cooking. Cooks have to be organized and efficient, very well networked, and very patient. Amanda Hesser writes about this in her article, "So You Think Your Kitchen Is Small?" To be organized and efficient means to have decreased the amounts of extra equipment using only what is a necessity, streamlining their foods, and learning to take very efficient approaches to cooking (Hesser, 2). Next, networking can be very beneficial, but can also be very…

In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", by Washington Irving, Ichabod Crane, the protagonist of the story, is a crazy person. I'm sorry, let me rephrase that; He comes off as a crazy person. Here’s how: Ichabod likes to listen to ghost stories in his free time, but, when walking home the night after hearing these stories, he imagines that these beasts are following him and lurking in the shadows. He also becomes very greedy, by trying to marry this lady called Katrina Van Tassel. He realizes that if he marries her, he’ll acquire all the land her family owns and a lifetime supply of lovely goods. Unfortunately, he’s so busy imaging this promising future that he actually forgets to make this fantasy a reality. Ichabod’s powerful imagination ends up being his biggest downfall. This story is showing, by Ichabod's example, if someone allows their imagination to dictate their life instead of letting common sense and reason to, people could start to commit sins and it could lead to catastrophic results.…

The best way to understand the full importance of the applications of B. F. Skinner's (1953, 1971) thinking and his research results is to read his novel, Walden Two (1948). The book is about a utopian…
Creative learning is all about helping children develop their imaginative skills through exploration of different materials and ways of expressing themselves, for example this can be methods like dance, ICT, building and also traditional creative methods like painting and drawing. Creativity itself is all about allowing children to express and explore themselves and take risks in doing so. This doesn’t necessarily have to be in a defined method but could simply be their own play, for example their role play is an expression of their creativity.…
I really enjoyed reading the initial post from my colleagues and I do share some similarities regarding children’s literature and how it influences the minds of children. There is definitely no one definition for a child that is why children are so unique in whatever they do as compared to adults. I do agree with Brittany Hardyman’s idea of how children’s books educate and create a sense of imagination for these children. Engaging children in whatever they do is very important because that is how they learn and develop. Engaging children in reading can be accomplished by incorporating more visuals, colors and creating a sense of imagination with the contents of the book. Brittany Hardyman also made an argument about how this era of technology…
The culinary arts are open to anyone who loves food, cooking, and a challenge. Although the majority of chefs are men, women are gaining master chef status, which is the highest level they can achieve in culinary arts according to the American Culinary Federation (Donovan 1 and 18). This achievement comes after meeting strict requirements for experience, education, competition, and passing an exam. A chef must be skilled in cooking, baking, presentation, cold foods, and nutrition while working in various conditions (Donovan 18). Many kitchens have modern equipment, convenient work areas, and air conditioning. Older places may have marginally equipped and ventilated kitchens. Working conditions also depend on the type and quantity of food being prepared and local laws governing food operations (Donovan 18). A chef requires stamina as he must stand, lift heavy pots, pans, and kettles, and work near hot ovens and ranges (Chmelynski 47). Many chefs have earned fame for themselves and the places where they work due to their skills, but how did they get there? Cooking is a profession that emphasizes continuous learning. An increasing number of chefs are obtaining initial training through high school or post high school programs. Although a high school diploma is not required for beginning jobs in the culinary arts, it is highly recommended for a career as a chef (Chmelynski 25). Many two and four year colleges offer programs in the culinary arts.…

The sum or range of what has been perceived, discovered or learned is what every dictionary or scientist would answer when one would ask them to define knowledge. Imagination, is what these scientists and dictionaries would answer when they were given the question to state one word on the following: ‘The faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses.’ In 1929, Albert Einstein was brave enough to compare these two to each other after which he came to the conclusion that imagination would be more important in life than knowledge, for knowledge is limited. But when one were to consult anyone or anything on this statement, he would find there is no clear support to take Einstein’s words for granted. Nor is there any clear opposition to question the above said. However, when one would be served with this statement after having read Lagemaat’s book he would immediately start doubting Einstein and his views generating some thought-worthy knowledge issues. For I am too, a reader of Lagemaat’s book, I cannot completely agree or deny his views asking myself how we can possibly rely on our imagination without knowledge as a medium to support it. Or to what extent we, without any knowledge, would take our imagination for granted and thus consider our own imagination knowledge in one way or another.…
