I continue to work in industry, attend ACF meetings, and read trade journal articles and visit food web sites daily to stay in the know about trends and even updating my own skill set. I bring in recent articles or food blog sites to share as discussion with my students. A favorite of mine is cooks illustrated; as it provides great testing and skill development of dishes/recipes. I tell my students that culinary is life long learning and encompasses so many areas from culture, to ingredients, to psychology, and business. I learn new things each and every day.
