My friend Russel is working towards his dream of opening his own restaurant that will hopefully have an internship program for at-risk-youths, giving them job and life training. He’s recently completed culinary school and is continuing his education in a variety of places.
In an effort to improve his baker’s chops, he recently had the opportunity to spend some time with baker extraordinare, Peter Reinhart. Reignhart is a baker, teacher at Johnson and Wales, author of several cookbooks and a James Beard and IACP award winner.
Russel said that along the way, he discovered that Reinhart shared his own unique story about bread making at TED a few years back.
As Russel shares, there’s much to be learned from the presentation — including a great insight into why Jesus used the metaphors of bread and wheat so many times in his own story telling.
I love the idea that transformation is not something that’s subtle like hot water to cold or cold water to hot. But transformation is water boiling and becoming steam. There must be a real change that takes place.
What a great picture!
