[Anthony_FA]

Just saw this thread and it got me excited!

I have been working professionally as a chef for about 8 years now and am currently the head chef at St.Phillips bakery (the head office in maple on major Mackenzie) in their cafe/hot table/catering department.

If anyone needs any tips or insight on some recipes don't be afraid to ask!

Tried making shrimp dumplings tonight from a recipe a coworker gave me. They were amazing but.... Half fell apart in the pan and steaming them after searing was temperamental
Next on the list is my friends family phõ recipe. I'll try to record the recipe when she teaches me.

Chocolate cake with peanut butter cream cheese icing and a chocolate peanut butter glaze.

the triple stack is a gluten free version

Takes about 6-8 hours to make, depending on how many layers of creamcheese icing and how many layers of glaze.

How about something for people who don't like cheese in their cakes? :p

[FD22]

I like this thread idea. I will be embarking on some proactive cooking challenges myself as well, soon hopefully.

@FD22 ... as a brown man who is fascinated with cooking.... hook this man up with some biryani recipes.

What gave you the impression I could cook? lol I'm not much better than you. Okay that's probably a lie, but who isn't.

(I kid I kid)

I just mastered making my toasts consistent and I can boil a mean water!

My Crockpot Chili - fail safe

2lbs lean ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
1 can red kidney beans
1 can white kidney beans
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 red onion or sweet onion or half and half
1/4 bag of baby carrots
1 Jalapeño
2-3 garlic cloves
1 heaping tablespoon of chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Toss tomato's, tomato soup with half can of water, rinsed beans, all veggies chopped, salt pepper and chili powder in crockpot. Turn to high. Brown ground beef in frying pan on stove, drain fat and fry just a bit more. Toss beef in crockpot and stir all together. 2-3 hours on high or until all veggies are soft. Stir once in a while.

Never fails. Reduce chili powder or remove seeds from jalapeño to reduce spicyness.

^CrocPots are awesome. Good for cheaper cuts of meat and can cook slowly while I'm at work

Got my first cooking related injury! (dunno why I sound excited)
Sliced up my thumb really nicely while cutting up some chorizo.
Who knew just a touch of the blade would cause so much bleeding.

Flourless Double-Chocolate Pecan Cookies


Yield
Makes 12


Ingredients
3 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (or other type of nut)
4 large egg whites, room temperature

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa, and salt. Stir in chocolate and pecans. Add egg whites and stir just until incorporated (do not overmix).
2. Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 3 inches apart, onto two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until cookie tops are dry and crackled, about 25 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies cool completely. (To store, keep in an airtight container, up to 3 days.)

The cookies are not that sweet and has a nice chewy/crispy texture. Best of all, really easy to make.

Souffle

[Noobster12]

This thread makes me hungry all the time...

[m_bisson]

What's a soufflé like? Texture, taste, etc... Is it as hard as they say it is to cook it?

Food baby BUMP

I cooked stir fry and made cookies tonight & thought I would share a recipe.

Stir fry for cooking noob. should serves 3-4. (2 hungry people and a kickass lunch for tomorrow)

2 frying pans needed. Small & large

5-6 Small fillets of chicken breast. I keep the fillets whole so they don't dry out. Use any meat really. Thaw/ defrost meat if frozen beforehand (M&Ms stuff) my chicken was $4 at no frills. Marinate in teriyaki sauce while chopping veggies. I added a hint of Diana's BBQ + sweet chilly sauce. (Lumpia Shanghai sauce)

Skin and finely dice fresh ginger : 49¢ for a big root. I love ginger: fresh always better. Put that into the marinate while preparing vegetables. Excess ginger into freezer for next time.

Cook Rice In Rice cooker: 1.5 cup rice, 2 cup water. Adjust ratio for portion.

3 bell peppers; Green, red, yellow. Chop into hearty chunks approx. 1.5" square. Colour is good. Chop 2 white mushrooms into slices. I cook / throw in mushrooms and peppers last so they are still semi-crisp.

Sauté 1 small white onion (slice, the. Cut the rounds in half) in separate small pan. Do this before starting the chicken. Olive oil in pan, low-med heat, keep an eye on them. Add maple syrup right when they sauté if you want caramelized onions.

Oil pan for cooking chicken, wipe pan with paper towel to collect most of the oil. You Just want a non stick surface. I cook with very little oil + ceramic pans help cut down on oil used.

Cook Chicken around 5 min med -med high heat, pour marinate in with chicken when you flip over to keep it moist. Keep moving it around, dont let sauce sit and burn. When chicken is almost done, toss all veggies + onions in pan.

Serve on Rice.

Person who cooks never does dishes. Enjoy.



Choco chip cookies for co-workers B-day tomorrow. It took me 10+ years to get this recipe out of my mum. Pictures only. They're so good. Semi sweet choco chips are the best.

[Kiewan]

Home made poutine.

Oven baked fries: Cut washed potatoes into wedges or use sliced mini potatoes. Baking tray with a bit of olive oil, parchment paper optional.

Very lightly season with Montreal chicken/steak spice by La grille / sea salt. Rosemary would be awesome too.

Cheese curds bought at sobeys. They are OK. The best are from St. Lawrence market.

Gravy from a box. Any will do

Enjoy.
