PERFECT INGREDIENTS ARE IN THE MARKET

My friends usually go the grocery or supermarket to buy the ingredients that they need for their cooking. But I prefer to buy the ingredients in the market. Many would really ask me about the market thing and I always tell them the market is complete than in the grocery store or in the supermarket store. As a chef, I learned to be thrifty and be budget conscious when it comes to buying of the ingredients for the dishes that I cook in my restaurant.

Many restaurants right now are buying in grocery stores. They think that they made the right choice but actually they are not. Grocery prices are high compared to market prices. There is a 20-30% price difference in comparison with the market price and the grocery price. Before cooking the dish that I find in my recipe book, I must scout for the ingredients first before cooking it. In that way I can price the dish in a more affordable way compared to my rival restaurants. In cooking for a cost, price really matters. Given that most restaurants right now hire chefs to do the cooking in the kitchen.

Aside from the price, freshness is also an important thing to consider why I do the market job. Maybe that is the most important matter to consider when buying in the market. To make the cooking job easy, first, you must complete all the ingredients first. make sure that the ingredients that you use often are in plenty but do not overstock. Second, all the dishes that you are preparing are easy to do. Do not buy ingredients that are hard to find. Cooking is easy when you have all the ingredients with you. Third, base all the ingredients on what is written in the recipe book. Follow the recipe book religiously and you will never go wrong in cooking.
