Harnessing the Power of Social Media
Following up on the “ChefsForum: Harnessing the Power of Social Media for Your Business” webinar, baking business columnist Cydni Mitchell and blogger Chef Kimberly Houston provide tips on how chefs and bakers can leverage social media to boost their business.
For the Love of Baking
Chef Jesse B. Jackson III, CMB (pictured), a lecturing instructor of baking and pastry arts at the Culinary Institute of America, joined ACF for a demonstration in the “ChefsForum: Pastry Techniques Spotlight; Choux au Craquelin” webinar. Chef Jackson has developed an accessible teaching style that resonates with students and puts them on the road to success. We spoke to him about his teaching style and the lessons he passes on to his students.
