ITS GOOD TO HAVE FOR A CHEF

Its another day in the kitchen and I am just happy to be back to the place where I love the most and do the thing that I love the most and that is cooking. Last week, my schedule was fully booked with activities. In just a day, I have to be in two different events, preparing dishes since I am also into the catering business. My presence is really a must when I am serving events. These events are not just simple events. I am cooking for large functions and gatherings. In one occasion, I prepared around 1000 plates and served 3 viands and cakes. I can say it was a busy for a chef like me. I even called my friend chefs to help me in the events that I am catering. Thank God I have my meal planner with me. I cannot imagine doing these food preparations without my meal planner. You can checkout this meal planner more information here...

By next week, I have to be in Singapore for a wedding event of my cousin. I am also the chef assigned to do the nice work in the kitchen in this event. I will be staying there for about 5 days and will also be meeting with some Singaporean chefs that will be assisting me in the kitchen. I am starting to feel the excitement when I get there....I will be missing my kitchen again by that....

NEW RECIPES FOR THE NEW YEAR

Hello guys! Welcome 2013 and for the new year, I have prepared lots of new recipes and new cooking tips for this year. I have just completed my new recipe book that will be published by February and I am already excited about it.

Last year was a good year for me and my restaurant business. Just for December last year, I have to make shifts for the events and parties that were held in the restaurant. I even made some kitchen renovations just to widen the floor area of the dining area, to accommodate more customers in the kitchen. Basically, 2012 was a good year to a chef like me.

For 2013, more recipes will be prepared in my kitchen and more tips in cooking will be shared and that is my pledge for this year. My chef friends are also contributing to the good news in the restaurant and I am just happy and excited for these happenings.

BACON WITH SHRIMP RECIPE ON THE PROCESS

I wanted to create something new in the dishes that I prepare in the kitchen. I want to incorporate bacon and shrimps because these two would really make a perfect combination. i tried looking for shrimp-bacon recipes but I cannot find the right dish that I can cook in the kitchen.

I called my chef friend and ask her an assistance in the recipe that I am trying to cook. She said to me that I have to use my imagination in the thing/dish that I am about to cook. Honestly, I am thinking to create a shrimp-bacon roll or bacon-shrimp deep fry with sesame seeds. Have to finish this by today...This will be a big challenge for me this day. 

THE CHEF IS BACK ONCE MORE

After being away for about a month, I have returned and I would like to thank my chef friends who are very supportive to my plans. I was gone for about a month because I was busy in the school, teaching chef wanna be's and also I was having my masteral in the culinary arts. 

I was in Singapore the entire month of October and busy in my career as a chef. my restaurant was temporarily handled by my brother and my cousin who are both chefs. I am just happy to be back again. To make myself present, upon arrival, I went straight to the market and bought stocks for the restaurant. I really miss these things. I am just happy to be back again.

To my viewers, expect great dishes in the coming days for I will write all the recipes that I learned while I was in Singapore. 

TO FAST FOODS OR NOT TO

I came out from the restaurant late because there was a function that needed my presence. After the event, I decided to go straight home so that I can rest since it was already nearing morning. I thought my stomach was already full. On my way home, my stomach is already in protest of the situation.

I decided to drop by the near fast food station along the way. I ordered french fries, burger and a soda. It was a drive thru station, ordering is quick and easy. Since I was driving, I cannot munch the food in my mouth. My eyes are always on the road. Now, I am more hungry than ever.

I approached my house and I immediately went to the kitchen to feed my stomach. But when I tasted the food that I bought, it was not what I was expecting. I tasted strange. I cannot swallow that kind of food, so I decided to cook food for myself. For a quick meal, eggs and bacon will do for me. Bacon and eggs are perfect match. After cooking, I immediately ate the food without any hesitations.
