Poachers and Coach Travel

Lessons this week are putting us all hard to work. Assignments are piling and I’ve been running like a gazelle. Definitely caught a cold from these weather changes, a fun chance to run back to Kitchener for a quick visit with the parents. Nothing like a little personalized travelling. This past weekend held an awesome […]

Chefs School Week One

Holyyy… Wow, my agenda for world domination has been completely filled with the glorious consumption of *delicious* foods. We’re focussed on boiling this week and so I’ve made Risotto, New England Chowder and Alfredo with fettucini, fresh of course. I’ve got some pictures of dishes from the past week of food and adventures. First, some […]

WordPress Animosity

So recently I’ve been playing with a new function on wordpress which is designed to let us post new material through a shortcut. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been working for me and for whatever reason, my posts haven’t been showing up. Anyway I’m still just as dedicated as ever and I hope everyone forgives this vicious, machine oriented truancy. Thanks.

 

I’m going to give a brief summary of the post I had written. It’s just a short one so do your best to enjoi. We’re talking about separating egg yolks from the whites. It’s an easy process no matter how you cut it, but if you use an empty water bottle, you will have an amazingly clean and easy time.

The gig is simple. Crack your egg into a bowl. Take an empty water bottle without a lid. Squeeze some air out of the bottle, align the lip of the cap with the egg yolk, and let suction pull it out of the whites and into the bottle. Works like a dream every time. Thanks to Cole Goudie for bringing this tip into class.

 

Shout out to Chef Instructor Ian Middleton for showing us how to waste less in class!

Thanks for reading everyone. New posts every Wednesday!!

Lost one!

Woops, sorry for the delay, folks. Never meant to break the deadline. I had a technical error, and lost the data for the post. So in that case I’m going to give a tip I learned in class at Stratford Chef School today. There is a particular way of cutting vegetables that is so extraordinarily […]

Keeping Out the Vampires

I like to keep in mind the symbology of Vampires whenever I cook with garlic. Somehow this plant, this *gift* from the earth that adds a seriously unique flavour to any meal, also cleans your body of toxic bacteria and chemicals that we come into contact with every day. Aristocratic tip: If you need an […]
