COOKING VIDEOS MADE COOKING EASY

A chef knows what he is doing, that a fact about chefs like me. As a chef, I always make sure that I have my recipe books with me always for quick reference when I am cooking. But there is a new and unique way how to learn cooking. That is by watching cooking videos. Cooking Videos are so many right now. The one doing the cooking in the cooking video is also a chef and that is really good to see.

This morning, I was in the kitchen. While resting from the busy day of cooking in the restaurant, I decided to watch tv. As I searched for my desired channel, I ended watching this cooking video. The chef in it was a Chinese chef and he was cooking an authentic Chinese cuisine. I never monitored my watch because I was enjoying watching the chef in the video. What I did was got my pencil and paper and listed the recipe and the ingredients for the dish that the Chinese chef was cooking. If I am not mistaken, it was Peking duck recipe that the chef was cooking. Later I realized that I learned something by just watching the cooking video. I guess I will be doing this watching cooking videos more often because I learned a new recipe today.

MASTERAL IN COOKING ACQUIRED

I just finished the last leg of my master study in cooking. The culinary school said to me that I have to prepare for the defense for the text that I am presenting to the panel. I am very excited and a little bit scarred of what the end might be. It is because aside from the local chefs, there will also be other chef visitors that will be in the panel asking me questions. But I am confident that I will be able to answer their questions.

I opted to have a further studies so that I will be able to improve my craft as a chef and be a dean someday in the near future. The assistant culinary school dean had already congratulated me and said that the panel are very eager to see me because of my creative ideas that can help the culinary industry. Now I am more curious about the panel team that will be asking me.
