Alright, since I have the qualifications of being 1/3 professional chef, maybe we do an AMA about cooking or your burning questions about food? I was in culinary school for a year and finished the first of three parts to become a certified red seal chef. I still have all my textbooks and recipes, so fire away!
1. What's your favorite thing to cook for a solo meal? A dinner party? 2. What do you find most challenging about cooking?
What’s a simple dish (simple ingredients) that takes a surprising amount of skill/technique to pull off? What’s the trick to doing that well?
I’ve been practicing a simple French omelette for a few weeks now. Haven’t gotten the creamy inside yet. I guess I’m afraid of taking it off the heat too soon. Any advice?
What are your top 3 favorite cookbooks (either ranked or unranked)?
I like cooking but only do it as an activity once every couple of weeks, and it basically takes me a whole day to shop for and make a meal (dinner for example) What are some staple ingredients I can buy and keep in the fridge to make a variety of core meals regularly? Tips to reduce overhead for cooking daily meals?
