When you're short on garnishes before service, make some. Tested out some last minute praline with ground pistachios. Torch the sugar, toss on nuts. I ain't no pastry chef but I'm kinda proud of myself I came up with this on the fly. #ChefApprenticeLife #TestKitchen #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #beautifulcuisines #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #chefsofinstagram #gardemanger #feedfeed #theartofplating #tastespotting
There's just something about charcoal grilling that makes everything taste better. Whether it's steak or a Gai yang (Thai roast chicken), even a threatening rainstorm couldn't keep me from grilling this up. Maybe it's the obsessive food lover in me, but anything not grilled with charcoal...just doesn't taste the same. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #beautifulcuisines #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #gastropostYYC #charcoal #chicken #ThaiCuisine
Peach Melba deconstructed, two ways. Top: The dessert course from last night's @charbar_yyc Asador feast. Bottom: same dessert, gussied up. @fiascogelato Strawberry-rhubarb sorbetto, #berries, C&B #peach, coulis, waffle cone. Which one do you like? #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #f52grams #tastespotting #gardemanger #dessert #Frozen #sorbet #summer
Chocolate chip cookie + @fiascogelato soft serve, peach, mixed berry, mint, Dulce. Inspired by the dropped lemon tart, I call this one "dropped ice cream sandwich in the Fall." According to the server, the diner loved it. I sure as hell had a blast putting it together on the fly. #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #gardemanger #dessert #Frozen #fruit #cookie (at charbar)
Another take on the dropped ice cream sandwich (see last post), which replaces the Dulce dots with a drizzle of ganache. Which one do you like better? #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #gardemanger #dessert #fruit #cookie #softserve #f52grams
Meet Akai Giwaku (赤い疑惑/赤的疑惑). Many a tuna loin has been taken apart with this one. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
Every chef/cook has his/her workhorse knife. Kyōka Suigetsu (鏡花水月) is mine. My first real chef's knife after my elimination from Masterchef. Almost four years later it's still with me. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
This one does not have a name. But since the two others carry names that are Anita Mui (梅艷芳) songs...I think calling this one either Flaming Lips (烈焰紅唇), Tango de la Fuego (似火探戈), or Fire on the Ice Mountain (冰山大火) would work. Right...? #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
After a night of work, it's done! It's a pizza like no other, with #Italian, #Japanese and #ModernCantonese influences coming together. I call this the Spicy Pork Neck Stirfry Risotto Pizza. Inspired by humble #cantonese home cooking, combined with all I've learned in my #ChefApprenticeLife so far. Stay tuned on how you can help me win @yycpizzaweek's Blogger Challenge! #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting
So...here is the result of my wun gati bai tuey/puding lapis/coconut pandan agar pudding experiment. The top two layers slid off, but the lower three stayed put and this is the result. Flavour wise the herbs did balance out the sweetness. A nice cup of black tea balances it out perfectly... All in all, another partially successful experiment. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #yyc #yycfood #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #gastropostYYC #chefsofinstagram #tastespotting #F52grams #feedfeed #AsianStyle #thaifood #masakanindonesia #dessert #coconut #pandan #jelly #LateNightEats
