ALL TIME FAVORITE BANANA CAKE

The week mis about to end and I am planning to gather my friends in my house this coming Sunday. I had already prepared the ingredients of all the foods that I will be cooking and most especially, the all time favorite banana cake for my friends.

My kitchen assistant already did the market for the ingredients for the banana cake and I am just happy to be baking this cake once again. The last time I remembered that I baked banana cake was in 2006, when my niece went to the culinary school to study. Banana cake is an all time favorite in the family. I am excited to bake this cake and share it to my friends because I made some adjustments on the regular banana cake recipe found in the recipe books. I made my banana cake extra special by adding peanut toppings on the cake after baking.

The peanut on top of the banana cake adds more aroma on the cake. By this, you can not just taste and eat banana but you will also taste peanuts on it. I will be posting the recipe of my all time favorite banana cake recipe later on.

TASTY PASTRY

In the culinary school, we chefs were taught how to do pastry and bread making. But I never thought that I will be practicing it immediately right now. In my restaurant, I have a chef that do pastry for the restaurant. But because my assistant chef was not around, I was obliged to do it. I hope I remembered the recipe for pastry work.

In the restaurant today, I prepared almost 20 pastry baked goodies. I am just happy because the recipe books are all in the restaurant and I did not experienced a hard time finding it. I bought 3 recipe books, all are dedicated to pastries. All of my customers are amazed that I can baked because they rarely see me do the baking in the kitchen. After this day, I guess I am contemplating opening a bakeshop because of what my customers said to me. In learning to cook, the best place to learn cooking is by enrolling in a culinary school.

MOMMY'S HOME MADE COOKING

This weekend, our family is planning on going to the province to stay in my grandmother's house. What I like going to the province is that there are so many dishes that I could learn from my elders. It is because, be fore I took up culinary arts, my family is already into the cooking business and we have so many recipe books in out shelves.

According to my grandmother, she is cooking something special for us. I really cant wait for us to arrive there. Aside from our visit, I am planning on borrowing the recipe books that my grandmother has. I already told her that I will be using the recipe books for the restaurant so that I can have many recipes and cook new dishes for all. Few minutes from now and we will be arriving in the place. I just cant wait to read those recipe books.

PLAIN AND SIMPLE COOKING

Staying in the house whole day is indeed boring for a chef.Cooking is the most favorite pastime of all chefs. Instead of sitting around and doing nothing, prepared something special for the family tonight. I am cooking chicken pork adobo, the home made style. The recipe is very easy to prepare. The most important ingredient in an adobo recipe is the garlic. Cooking chicken pork adodo would just take around 30 minutes. In most restaurants, they would incorporate more spices to add to the fresh taste in the recipe and it is really good for the stomach.
