To Video, and Beyond: The Future Recipe For Media, Food & Cooking

Question: What do you get when you take a celebrity chef, a video content creator, a food magazine legend, and a futurist, give them microphones, and put them on a stage?

Answer: This panel on the evolving food media space from the 2018 Smart Kitchen Summit.

Unlike a media room with a sofa and bean bag chair, the kitchen is a space for participatory media: guided cooking videos, voice assistants, or printed recipes. Former Editor in Chief of Food & Wine Dana Cowin sat down with Project Foodie’s Eli Holzman, chef Tyler Florence, and forward-thinking inventor/futurist Dhairya Dand to explore how new (and old) media can combine storytelling and utility to help people cook better, and have more fun doing it. Watch the video below to hear how these tastemakers, with very diverse entry points into the food world, see the role of media in the smart kitchen space.

Look out for more videos of the panels, solo talks, and fireside chats from SKS 2018! We’ll be bringing them to you hot and fresh out the (smart) kitchen over the next few weeks.
