Picture going to work at one of the biggest global tech companies and pausing midday to take a cooking class! This may not sound like a traditional workplace experience, but for employees at Google's San Francisco campus, it's a tasty way to spice up a day in the office! Led by Executive Sous Chef Randy Wilkes, KitchenSync is a full teaching kitchen where culinary professionals lead participants through in-person and digital classes centered on the joy of cooking recipes together that are both culturally and seasonally relevant, focusing on a hands-on, step-by-step approach to building confidence in the kitchen.This week, Kahja talks with Chef Randy about the strategy of learning more than just your role, pivoting away from the call of culinary burnout, the art of teaching food preparation, industry optionality through corporate dining, structuring dishes for maximum flavor balance, understanding the science of recipes, electing a more leisurely career path, and picking the culinary road that's right for you.Recorded on location in San Francisco, CA.@badpanda9Be sure to leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed this episode!
