Cooking Lessons and Legal Research: Creating and integrating instructional videos into legal research training

摘要

I used to think there were two kinds of people in this world: those who can cook and those who cannot. While my grandmother and mother are in the former category, I saw myself as very much in the latter. For many years, I refused to confront my cooking anxiety. I lived on a steady diet of fast food throughout law school, and I probably would have continued along this path if not for stumbling across a few cooking videos on YouTube. Although I am not on Gordon Ramsey's level, instructional cooking videos have helped ease my cooking apprehensions. As chance would have it, my immersion in cooking videos happened to coincide with my fellow legal bibliography instructors and I starting the annual updates of our course readings.
