Twenty-five years ago, Washington Post Magazine was launched. That doesn’t seem like many years, but life sure has changed. In 1986, terrorism was someone else’s problem, AIDS had only just become a household name, and we’d never seen a serious tech rally, much less a bust. Heck, Whitney Houston even had two hits on Billboard’s year-end singles chart. Read full article > >

From chronicling the struggles of the civil rights movement to sponsoring a fashion caravan that stopped in big cities and small towns across the country, Ebony has proven to be much more than just a magazine for African Americans during its more than six decades of publication. In a Washington ballroom filled with crystal, sterling silver and glamour Saturday night, black-and-white images from the civil rights struggles of the 1960s were reminders of the magazine’s long and influential journey.

5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe. Whether it's dreams of opening their very own bakery, being the next 'Top Chef' or simply wanting to brush up on their knife skills, a growing number of the food-obsessed continue to flock toward culinary school – some straight out of high school, some swapping out their suits for chefs' whites midlife in hopes of a more savory lifestyle. But for some like Anthony Goncalves, a culinary degree isn't the end-all, be-all. Goncalves is the completely self-taught executive chef of 42 The Restaurant . And when we say self-taught, we should also note he's been named as “one to watch” by both Time and Esquire Magazines. Five Reasons You Can Learn to Cook Without Going to Culinary School: Anthony Goncalves 1. Humans start eating from the day you are born “Innately – like being born with an ear for music or an eye for design – you can be born with an inclination for flavors and how to combine them. While this ability is stronger in those who become cooks, we all have taste . It’s a question of trusting your taste which no amount of schooling can teach you.” 2. What is delicious can’t be taught “It is subjective, no matter what food critics would have you believe . While culinary school can teach you presentation and technique, the first thing to learn is how to make something taste good and that is, at its essence, very basic.” 3. Technique takes practice “No matter where you learn it – a cooking class, reading recipes in a food magazine, watching The Cooking Channel – you have to hone it to make it a skill that you can rely on.” 4. Passion definitely can’t be taught “Wanting to be a chef and being passionate about cooking, even if it’s just for your family, can be mutually exclusive – and there is nothing wrong with that. Most people will tell you they’d rather have a lovingly prepared home-cooked meal than any other kind. Learning to be the kind of restaurant chef who treats your customers that way is not a skill taught in school.” 5. Culinary students are used to putting in long hours … “But running a restaurant is a 24 hour-per-day, 7-day-per-week, lifelong endeavor. There is no getting around that. And no externship or stage can teach you that. That’s something you learn the day you open the doors of your restaurant – and keep learning as long as you are in business.” Is there someone you'd like to see in the hot seat? Let us know in the comments below and if we agree, we'll do our best to chase 'em down.
