First you have to find an image that's suitable. Then you highlight the entire location of that website, click your right mouse button and hit copy. Then, you go to you reply post, go to the bottom and click on image. When the window pops up, you click right mouse button and hit paste. That's all there is to it.

Mbrown, I am interested in teaching part time one day. What can you tell us about your own experience with teaching? What are your students like? What level are they? How many sessions per class, etc., and anything else you want to tell.

I teach Kosher cooking, consult with caterers (one kosher, several not) and teach kids as well as adults classes at different venues....ie March is wild shrooms at Botanical Gardens, June is a week of ice cream for a CoCa camp, I have a pastries class first of March also and a Candy class the end of the month. Herbs in May.
Then the ongoing cooking demos at the Market starting in May....I assist chefs in selecting, writing and then presenting a recipe to the crowd using market products.

My students vary from proficient home cooks to exact recipe users to just starters....I make fairly standard dishes and add ingrediants, talk techniques and tricks then alternative applications....and I do throw in a recipe that can be used by a beginner.
Demistifying and passing on the passion is the joy I derive from teaching.

Hey, mb, if you could also tell us how you got into teaching, I'd appreciate it. I'm looking at alternative ways to make a living within the industry, and this is at the top of my list.

[m brown]

When I was in Culinary School, I became a teaching assistant and the next year a fellow. Since that time I have taught in colleges, private homes, department stores and degree granting cooking schools.
I enjoy teaching and reaching students by removing the mystery of pastry and baking. Currently I am taching at Look Who's Cooking in Oyster Bay, NY and looking forward to teaching at Sur La Table in Mannhassett.
My fav students are carrear changers and foodies who just love to cook. I is hard to teach and motivate folks who are not passionate about baking so college can be tough.

Oooo Shroomgirl. I LOVE kosher foods. I know where to go and ask questions when I have to cook these foods for Jewish holidays at work.
