    Ruhlman: Cooking Is What Made Us Human

    Published: Nov 8, 2010 · Modified: Jan 21, 2015 by Mike Vrobel · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Once a year, it seems, Michael Ruhlman gets to the heart of the matter.  He takes all the scattered thoughts I have about cooking, random things that I can feel the edges of, and distills them down into their essence. He puts the reason I cook for my family every day into words.

     Like...this:


    Had Something to Say - Cooking from michael ruhlman on Vimeo.

    I loved Catching Fire, and found it just as moving as Ruhlman did, but...man. I wish I could be that eloquent. Michael, thank you, and keep fighting the good fight.  We're with you.

    PS: He has another great video on what makes Thomas Keller and Grant Achatz who they are Michael Ruhlman...had something to say at Ruhlman.com.
