“Learning to cook from YouTube is
a great education!”
“My
contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and
we should treat it with the same status.” according to Sir Robison on “How
school kill creativity; Tedtalk.” There
is a concern about creativity learning nowadays. How can we find the creative education? It is
simple. The creativity of education can
come from informal education experience—outside classroom. Creative education may just come from a
simple thing as cooking. Learning to
cook from YouTube will lead you to on creative education experience and you
also may find your passion and enjoyment.
First,
learning to cook from YouTube is a great education because it is easy to
do. Many people are so scared to learn
how to cook. They think cooking is a
hard process. Sometime just looking
through the cooking book is not enough information for the beginner who is just
learning how to cook. Learning to cook
from YouTube will make you realize how easy cooking is. Many people are visual learners so it would
be very easy to follow step by step of cooking with YouTube video. YouTube video gives and shows what the
process is and what you would expect during the cooking process. For example, you are cooking a Molten Lava
Chocolate cake. You follow the step to
mix all the ingredients. Then you would
be able to pause the video to wait for bake the cake. When your cake is cooked and ready, you can
keep playing video to look at the final step.
YouTube gives your ability to pause and follow the steps as slow as your
real time cooking. You can go back to
watch again, and again whenever you want, too.
This YouTube easy to follow will give you more pleasure and enjoyment to
learn something new. According to Huston
on “How I Learned to Love Traveling Solo. ", "Managing and reducing
the things that you find stressful, and embracing whatever it is that you love
doing by yourself are the keys to enjoying it and getting the most out of
it." This YouTube ability is make
learning to cook from YouTube is become a wonderful learning experience.
Second,
learning to cook from YouTube is a great education because it has a variety
sources. When you buy a cooking book,
you just have the information of cooking in that book only. How about when you would like to cook
something that you do not have in your cooking book? YouTube has a numerous variety cooking videos
that you could possibly think of it.
YouTube has video from learn how to cut vegetable all the way to how to
make a fancy dinner meal just your favorite restaurant. You might find those sources from books also,
but it will take you a long time to gather all the sources you would like to
have it. Instead, you just search in
YouTube and find whatever you are looking for in a second. For example, you want to know how to clean
and prepare the octopus. Then you need
to know Thai spicy sauce for eat with steamed octopus. You can be creative on your cooking by mix
and match whatever your favorite food by learning from YouTube. You can make Japanese style meal with Thai
spicy sauce, French dessert, and Indian Lassi.

each specific cooking method. YouTube
has many choices of videos of each cooking method that you can choose for. The variety sources on YouTube will make your
cooking learning experience goes far more beyond what you would expect.
Third,
learning to cook from YouTube is a great education because it is convenience as
economically and logically. Who does not
like the free stuff? Learning to cook
can be expensive if you go to cooking class or buy the book. YouTube is free as long as you have internet
at your house or you can use computer at library and print out only what you
are looking for. For example, you would like to learn how to cook Thai
food. It would cost you about 100
dollars for Thai cooking class or about 20 dollars for Thai cooking book. You
still have to travel to the class or book store which will cost you time and
money as well. However, you can access
to YouTube to learn how to cook whenever and even wherever you want as long as
you have internet access. You do not
need to carry your cook book to your friend’s house when you would like to cook
a lovely dinner for everyone; you just save the videos of menus that you would
like to cook in your playlist and open it at your friend’s house. Nothing can be better than a freedom of
learning; you do not need to worry the fee of cooking class nor do you not need
to worry about time to commute to learning.
Leaning to cook from YouTube gives you a freedom of learning as
economically and logically.
