Café Supervisor Archer Christie uses his favorite food magazine, Cook's Illustrated, to teach student employees not just how to read and understand a recipe, but how to decipher its ingredients and cooking methods. They also read the accompanying food article, reporting out three facts and three things they didn't previously know. This exercise supports reading comprehension, a necessity for concise cooking! For anyone who has ever made a mess of a recipe, the importance of this lesson will surely resonate! 🧑‍🍳🔥Have you ever misread a recipe? Stories welcome in the comments! 😊
