SHOW NOTES:

Man winter is in full effect, it’s soup season and I’m already looking forward to spring and for sure March Madness!

• I’m going back to the basic – I’ve decided on my blog to really go back to those fundamental things I learned back in culinary school to create sort of a foundation. From how to make roux, to the mother sauces and it’s been really fun to do it. These are all still images and I’m saving video on my blog for recipe stuff I’m doing on Youtube!
• Learn cooking techniques – how to braise, how to saute, knife cuts, all of these things are so important. Once you nail down these then the creativity can flow. People always ask what kind of pans do you use and I always say, I can cook on a rock if it’s hot enough. Learn these fundamental skills and you are gonna kill it!

My Favorite Restaurant of the Past Month

Smoque – it’s amazing bbq and it’s in Chicago, I know impossible right? Tons of awards, diners drive-ins and dives, went the other week. Talk about my experience cooking bbq and how I had to teach myself. We made smoked duck pizza, or prawns or turkey, not southern style bbq. - http://bit.ly/2vvxWy5

Food Trends:

• Flour Alternatives – We’ve already seen quite a bit from coconut to almond flour and garbanzo flour and I think it’s going to keep expanding. I saw banana flour,…. What?!! I even believe we are going to see some old world wheats come back front and center such as kamut, spelt or graham.
