What is progressive cooking?

Until information was widely shared and available, cooking was strictly codified according to the methods developed by the initial developers of the cuisine. We were limited by unavailable ingredients, unshared techniques, etc. As we've moved into the new millenium, recipes, methods, cookware, ingredients and techniques have become widely available and cuisine has become significantly much more diversified (think fusion cooking; think molecular gastronomy).

Progressive cooking is using all the new technologies, foods and information to keep cuisine evolving in a forward direction. It's moving forward and trying all the new things that are available to us in new ways.
