I was researching for my writing project and I read about the founder of the Institute of Culinary Education, Peter Kump. In 1979, an article in Bon Appétit quote Kump as saying he hoped his students would not “leave here with a sheaf of spectacular recipes to repeat step-by-step ad infinitum. No. I want them to learn to develop taste. I want them to become free to improvise, to work without recipes. They should learn principles, the reasons for mixing and blending this with that. And techniques.”
Dear readers, therefore, if you find I did not give enough instructions in some of my posts – I strongly encourage you to improvise. (or, you can actually email me if you have any questions)
I find Mr. Kump to be most inspiring – I’d apply his principles not only in cooking but in many aspects of my life. May you all be encouraged and stay warm – I think we will have single digit weather again tonight. I will try to share a very delicious soup recipe soon. Right now, it is back to writing and I do have dead line to meet.
