I've been cooking with and filming my granddaughter (now 6) since she was 3. She can break and separate an egg with the best of them (we make cookies and good things...). Older brother is good, too.<br />My friends Christina and Bill returned from France and opened a gastropub in Springfield, Mo. (heart of American farmland, Christina's home) The focus: fresh, local, sustainable. Opened at the height of the depression Oct 09 and they are doing great.<br />We want to eat fresh.

I plan on trying to add to my skills and techniques as well as expand my knowledge of many cultures of cooking in addition to what I already know. I love to cook.. and i generally cook the majority of the week... just like most of the human population I have my days where i am tired and don't have time to cook, so I occasionally go out, but I think it is important to instill cooking into the next generation and not lose those "family" recipes and original techniques of cooking.Rachelhttp://www.myculinarycanvas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13724622.post-77133307743530058272009-10-14T02:34:12.810+01:002009-10-14T02:34:12.810+01:00oh... some of us are teaching hoe to cook fresh se...oh... some of us are teaching hoe to cook fresh seasonally and locally too, about the importance of first rate ingredients (which is NOT the same thing as expensive) and the conviviality and civility of family and friends gathering around the table.<br /><br />SylvieSylvie, Laughing Duckhttp://www.laughingduckgardens.com/ldblog.php/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13724622.post-33092353935584235322009-09-14T01:11:18.901+01:002009-09-14T01:11:18.901+01:00From where I live, my weekly farmers

And those people who just cant stand to eat bad food. My kids are cooking and tehy know where food comes from. they can make me pancakes for breakfast, omlette for lunch and cake all from scratch and they are only 9 and 10. So I am not worried that the skills are lost or that we wont cook at allBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581216548791172121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13724622.post-77081656583408976162009-08-20T20:42:23.907+01:002009-08-20T20:42:23.907+01:00Merci pour cette excellente blog post!!!

I have to wait a month until it comes out in Germany, but am lucky to be able to see it with subtitles instead of dubbing.<br /><br />As a self-taught cook, I have always advocated cooking to everyone I know. It's a way to make something magical, and even if people I have over for dinner don't see me cook, I always explain how easy it is to make things.misterrioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592448795429871681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13724622.post-23185914160679280812009-08-06T16:42:29.873+01:002009-08-06T16:42:29.873+01:00I agree with you!

I quite like director Nora Ephron and was delighted by her character who always cooked in "Heartburn" (also played by the lovely Ms Streep) - loved the book too. Cooking from scratch is begining to have a resurgance here in the UK again - partly through financial hardships. People have discovered the joys of eating real food again.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13724622.post-84334151781951707122009-07-31T17:36:06.541+01:002009-07-31T17:36:06.541+01:00right on, Kate.

There should be classes like this in every school. We're gearing up for the fall semester and, like you, cooking like crazy out of the garden in the meantime.

I read several blogs where the folks are trying very hard to raise most of their own food and keep bees also. The time has come for anybody who can to do so! We have started out "small" with chickens and a garden. Anyway, maybe we all can help the problem of CCD. I pray so.
