Rick Bayless teaches the easiest way to slice Piloncillo (unrefined Mexican sugar) to make syrup. The tip: microwave it for 45 seconds on a flexible cutting board and immediately shave or slice.

An excited audience at the Macy's Culinary Council event in the Woodlands was full of questions for a generous Rick Bayless who stayed to answer them all.

Bayless blushed at compliments from his audience.
