Another important value that the CIA wants to teach its students is passion. Although President Metz agrees that you cannot teach a student passion, you can inspire them by example. In this way, the CIA works hard to give its students a passion for cooking and overall curiosity about what they are doing—and why it works. Many of the instructors will question the students, have them think in a Socratic way about cooking and not take things for granted. When students change their way of thinking, they can be more successful and innovative cooks.
