CHEF ALL YOU CAN

This morning, the association of chefs around the country, gathered inside the world palace restaurant to meet with one another. This is already an annual event wherein the chefs meet and mingle with one another. This is the largest meeting of chefs because in the attendance sheet, it listed around 500 chefs and 20 foreign chefs that is based in the country.

Aside from the meeting, chefs learn new techniques in cooking from other chefs and there were also free recipe books that were given away during the event. I was just one lucky chef to win the most prestigious award that day, the chef of the year award. Chef of the year award is the award given to the most active chef in the country. The chef of the year award happens only after 3 years and I am just lucky to got one.

On my way home, there were three chefs that went to me and said that their flight abroad was canceled due the bad weather. These chefs asked me if I can help them get a place to stay for the night because of the canceled flight. I immediately told the chefs that they can stay in my house and they were very happy hear that from me. I am very happy because I learned new things and gained new friendship. Chefs all you can guys!

NEW RECIPES PREPARED

I am very busy for the past few days because I am preparing new recipes that I will be cooking in the restaurant for the coming weeks. I am very busy right now and blogging this is just a break from the tied up schedule that I have. But I want all the recipe goers that they will be reading new recipes later on because I prepared new recipes.

the recipes that I am preparing right now are all original and I made the dish myself. From the main dish up to the appetizers are all prepared. I just need to finish the remaining recipes before I will be making it available for all. I am also making these recipes available in the new recipe book that I am writing right now.

BABY FOOD

I just delivered a healthy baby girl and I want to make sure that I feed her well. I am cooking only healthy baby food for her and I don't settle for second hand food, especially for my baby. My friend-chefs are very happy and excited to see my new born baby. The restaurant operation is handled well by assistant chefs.

I will be on the sideline because of my condition. But I am not worried about the restaurant operation because I know I have the most talented chefs with me. The restaurant will have a normal operation even without me around. I will be back cooking again by next month after I totally completed my maternity leave.

My sister is a chef in the United States. Every week, we make sure that we communicate via skype and share our discovered recipes and cooking styles. My sister always share new tips in cooking since she works as a hotel chef there. Through the use our computers, my sister demonstrates the things that she cooks in the hotel. But most of the time I would inform my sister that the video is not clear with skype. I would even request from her to video her cooking demos because I cannot see the exact way of cooking. I am still looking for means so that our video streaming will have a perfect view.

One day, I was buying ingrients for the dishes that I will be cooking in the restuarant I happened to visit the faceVision on line store. I was saw this faceVsion product that I was very curious about. It is a FV touchcam N1 that I believed that will solve my video conversation problem with my sister. What is good about this product is that it is the first SKYPE-certified web cam that can deliver full 720p in video conversation. I used to have Microsoft cinema and Logitech Pro 9000 but still these products are not enough to deliver the HD quality in our conversation. FV touchcam N1 is the first Internet streaming true HD webcam for Skype video calls. I am suggesting to my sister that we use FV ExpressCombo for the both of us. The FV touchcam is available through shop.facevsion.com and other value added partners.

Now that I am using H.264 hardware encoder built in Touchcam N1, I achieved true H.D. experience in my video conversation with my sister. She now share almost everyday her new recipes to me in HD video streaming. I see clearly the details in her cooking and I can use it in my cooking style in the restaurant. Now my cooking skills increased because of the learning that my sister share to me.
