Blog #14-Third Interview Preparation: What is the best way to teach a beginner to cook?

As with each blog, you should choose an interesting visual to entice people to read what you have written.

For this interview, you will prepare 10 open-ended questions that focus on your newly approved EQ (in fact, your first question can be your EQ).  Remember, all interviews must be done in person unless they are specifically approved by your house teacher.  Additionally, one person may be interviewed a maximum of two times.

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?
For this interview, I plan to interview the Day Manager of Cantina Grill, Cathy Shammas (My older mentor's daughter). Not only has she run the restaurant for 3 years now, but she has lots of knowledge in all aspects of the kitchen and the recipes we make.

2.  Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? 
The interview is scheduled for next wednesday, January 20th, at 3p.m.

3.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.
"What techniques, recipes and cook-styles do you think a beginner would have an easy time grasping and replicating?

4.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).
"When someone begins delving into the world of culinary arts, what kind of personality or characteristics does someone need to have to be a good or productive food-worker?

5.  Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 
"Being the day manager of a restaurant and seeing your employees work in the kitchen,what kind of techniques or ways of learning aren't compatible in the field of cooking (what doesn't work?)?
"What does it mean to cook to you, what is your definition of cooking?

The interview transcript  is due to turnitin.com with the 5-minute audio excerpt and entry to the blog on Friday, February 19th. In addition, you need to turn in the verification sheet to your house teacher.
