Google Presents Cooking for Burning Man 101

by Scott Beale on August 10, 2007 · 6 comments

On Wednesday two Google chefs presented “Cooking for Burning Man 101” at the Googleplex as part of the Google TechTalks series. Google knows a thing or two when it comes to making great food, so if you are going to Burning Man and want to eat well, then this video is required viewing. Here’s the “Burner Cooking 101 Handout” handout from the talk.

Anyone who has been to Burning Man before can tell you that it is an extremely harsh and challenging environment physically, emotionally, and culinarily! Come hear two veteran burners/culinary team members talk about the best ways to set up your Burning Man kitchen/food plan. You’ll come away with some useful recipes and vital Burning Man tips & tricks.

For more information on cooking at Burning Man, check out the article on Organizing a Communal Kitchen.

WTF??? All of sudden we have corporate sponsored “How To Survive At BurningMan” seminars…puhleeease

First Burningman jumps on the Green bandwagon waaaaaaaay late, and pretending to be innovative and political while doing so, and now this???

I don’t care how many tickets they sell, Burning is and has been over for all intents and purposes…

While this is a fun idea, I gotta ask…are googloids really so dependent on their employer that they can’t figure this stuff out for themselves, like we all did during the first boom?

2007 was my first BM and I came all the way from South Africa to attend. I can already see that BM is becoming main stream and the more we see of this type of thing, the relevance of BM will become tainted.

Keep it free of consumerism, rules and regulations. Each person should experience and cope with it in their own way and not in the way others think they should. I loved America but there are so many bloody rules and everyone abides to them. Somebody step out of line Please

i see nothing wrong with resources to help people prepare for this event. Burning Man will always be an experience of beauty in the eye of its beholder. The comments ive read here promote frustration anger and bitterness. GOOD! Im glad you wont be coming back, you are downers and damper goodness about you.
