Sous Chef



Thats to say that a recipe has been followed. How many times you think you are done with cooking and think what is this ground cashews doing here in the mortar. Once in a while 'second-person narrative' is effective but that in a whole book is insane. That said once the author got into the business of making things, the motion in the kitchen is infectious.
If you have read memoirs of chefs, then you will know of different people at each of the food stations. You will also know that a chefs life is exhausting. But Michael Gibney in his unique 24 hour format, has shown whats in a day of a chef's life and how it starts fresh every morning.

Can you guess the physics experiments that  potato chips  are put to?  Cake recovery. siphon cake The picture of  algination  looks like people in a line dancing alternately with the next one's hands and legs.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
