As you said. Some are very simple. But important. An 8 minute video with 8 minutes of good information. No drama, no nonsense. Thank you very much, that was great.
"Add more butter" is my personal favourite. I often have people amazed by my food, trying to find out what kind of miraculous technique or ingredient I used. Usually it's just adding way more butter than they would.
No1: Sharp knives and consistent technique No.2: Mis en place, prepare everything No.3: Bain Marie, waterbath for utensils No,4: Spoons No.5: Clean as you go No.6: Adding acid No.7: Using herbs, either fresh or dry No.8: Finish with butter No.9: Start with whole spices No.10: salt
A lot of good tips. Maybe you could do a video on the different types of salt and how and when to use them?
1) Make sure your kitchen is clean 2) Do all the prep work you can for the recipe ( Cutting vegetables, dicing potatoes, cutting meat, etc) before turning a burner or oven on
Adding lemon zest and juice to chicken noodle soup was a huge help in making it taste good when I had to greatly reduce sodium for my husband.
I'm glad I randomly came across this channel. It's the perfect place for those who genuinely want to learn culinary skills. Emphasis is on technique, not theatrics (which can also be fun to watch sometimes). However, the content on this channel makes you want to learn more.
Such a good video. And I remember once asking my mom to taste something I had made. She looked at me and said, 'Well, I put salt in what I make.' Point taken.
5:00 Big Butter isn’t going to like this. Protect this man.
My brother is so OCD about his vegetables chopping skills. Everything is always the exact same size. It’s actually great when I’m roasting veggies or making vegetable beef soup or even stews! I made a curry dish one time that called for one small diced sweet potato. Well that almost didn’t happen as he despises them. But he did finally cut it up and it melded into the sauce perfectly! But I really appreciate him. Doesn’t matter what I’m cooking he’s available to chop veggies!! Thanks for the tips Chef! Love your channel.
Thanks for this. Have you made a video about how to store diced onion and other prepped items and how long they should last in the fridge?
Great video. Thanks! ❤
I like he reaction after tasting something!
Excellent tips Billy!
First video I've ever watched on this channel. I love that this dude has an actual restaurant style kitchen setup instead of something that just looks pretty
What a great selection of basic stuff! I love this channel!
My Wife has become a great cook and has her go to’s but rarely branches out. Her biggest issue she’s had is not properly preparing her ingredients and is horrible at time management. she’s been watching your videos and is making a bunch of your dishes. Thank you!
This is wonderful
What about finishing with ghee?
wasnt expecting this to be as good as it was. great video.
