In the ever growing, ever popular world of culinary education, I am on the front lines. In the midst of this foodie explosion, I am the catalyst. I am a high school culinary educator.

Here you'll find stories, projects, and sometimes even cooking/baking tips on the goings on of the culinary arts program at the Hollenstein Career and Technology Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

Well...

I didn't win. I guess maybe I'll have to wait until some other time to be recognized for doing the job I do, no matter how good or bad anyone else in this world may think I do it. Maybe I should take it as a sign that I'm not good enough. Maybe I could be a better planner. Better communicator. Better motivator. Better teacher. More positive. More innovative. More disciplined. More involved. More and better, I guess. And hopefully leave little doubt in the minds of others that what I do is worthy of praise. Right now I'm not even sure I'm convinced of that.

    I read your essay and I must say that you are doing a great job. I am in the process of finishing my Masters in Foodservice Education from Johnson & Wales University and entering the Culinary Education field. It's very encouraging to see what fellow educators are doing around the country. I am changing careers and this essay really motivated me. Thank you.
