LEARNING NEW COOKING STYLE

Two weeks ago, I enrolled at a culinary school near my restaurant to learn a new cooking style. The culinary school is run by my chef-friend and I mam very happy to be learning once again. The culinary school is teaching Japanese dishes and this is my first time to make and prepare Japanese dishes.

Based on my observation, the secret in every Japanese dish is the freshness and it would take sometime to learn to prepare Japanese dishes. My chef-friend is a Japanese and making and preparing Japanese dishes is just like 123 for her. I joined the school because I wanted to learn to prepare Japanese dishes and I would like to incorporate it in the dishes that I prepare in the restaurant.

This new learning experience in preparing Japanese dishes would take about 1 year and I believe that I have much to learn in this Japanese dishes. I am like am kindergarten in the class. In fairness, my classmates are all master chefs in their respective fields. 

SPECIAL EGG RECIPE

Cooking eggs may seem easy but actually, chefs need to master several egg recipes before they can be called masters in the kitchen. The recipe that I am about to share is very easy to cook and even an inexperienced person can cook this special egg recipe. For the special egg recipe, we will be needing the following ingredients:

• 3 fresh eggs
• 1 cup garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tbs soy sauce
• 1/2 cup tomato
• 3 tbs cooking oil

Procedure: 

1. Heat pan and place cooking oil. 
2. Beat the eggs and fry it along with garlic, salt and tomato.
3. Add the soy sauce and remove and serve the egg with rice.

The entire cooking of this special egg recipe is just under 5 minutes. It is fast and easy to cook very ideal for breakfast.

CHEF TALK MADE EASY

As a chef, I live a very busy life. In the morning, I have to wake up around 5 am just to prepare myself in going to the restaurant and in the evening, I have to leave the restaurant around 10 pm, during the closing of the restaurant. I can't hardly use my phone and call my chef-friends and get an update on their status. My rest period is only when I get to update my chef account in my Facebook and Twitter account. My chef-friends would call me around 10 times but I could not attend to the calls because of my busy schedule in the restaurant. In my Twitter account, my chef friends would leave some twitter smiles from myemoticons.com. The smiles that they send me really make me calm my busy nerves as a chef. Chef talk made easy this time with the smiles that I also send to them. 

By the end of the month, I will be leaving the country for a culinary event that will be happening in Singapore. It is a culinary event that my appearance is requested by the event coordinators. I already send some messages to my friends that I will be away for awhile. 

This busy schedule really make me love the profession as a chef. 

BAKE MY OWN CAKE

I was with a chef friend last night. We had a short conversation and it was held in a small cake shop in the downtown area. We were discussing about her plan of opening a pastry shop and she wanted me to join her pastry shop. 

I am a chef and my forte is really cooking and not baking. Many thought that all chef can bake and cook. But that is not the case all the time. There is a pastry chef and a meal chef and that is what I am. I think I will decline the offer ahead and I will just endorse another chef that is a pastry chef. 

QUICK AND EASY MORNING MEAL

I woke up late this morning and I have a very important meeting to attend to. Since I live alone in my house, I have nobody to blame but myself for no meals prepared. To make the my hungry tummy full, I decided to make and prepare a quick and easy morning meal for myself. 

I check the refrigerator and found these: eggs, hotdogs, butter, chocolate and bread. Well, these are just the foods that I need to make a quick and easy morning meal for myself. It only took me 5 minutes to prepare a meal for myself. They don't call me chef for nothing if I cannot make a meal for myself in quick and easy morning meal for myself.

I realized today that I must wake up early so that I will have enough time to make a morning meal for myself. I think it is already nearing 8 o clock I must go now....
