One of the great benefits of teaching culinary arts is that it is perhaps one of the most global subjects you can teach. When covering a specific cultural ingredient or technique, there's often an opportunity to engage students who have direct experience with that ingredient or method. Encourage them to share their insights, as they often bring valuable perspectives to the class. This approach doesn’t mean shifting the teaching responsibility but rather enhancing the learning experience by combining the instructor’s guidance with the diverse expertise of the students.
