My Country, My Kitchen: Global Filipino?

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 28, 2008

It’s just really sad. That with hundreds of million of Filipino OFWs worldwide, our cuisine ain’t really in the map, so to speak.
Kudos to the chefs of Cendrillon that have at least managed to get some of our flavors and food across to a global scene. And I think it’s amazing how they managed to [...]

Shortbread cookies!

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 28, 2008

The start of it all.
Suffice it to say, I wasn’t really thrilled with the results, taste wise.
It needs a lot. I need to get better, like sobra.
That’s why, I’m really entertaining the idea of the Maldives thing. Just because it seems like there, I can concentrate on becoming better. Like to concentrate on solely getting [...]

BOOK COVERS: French Women Don’t Get Fat

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 17, 2008

I’m late. I know I’m late.
I should have read this a long time ago.
The undercover chef is getting her sexy back. And I think I could work with this.
I’ve decided to make her leak soup this coming holyweek, just to get the whole thing going.
I like the book, because it’s about food and eating the [...]

of lease service agreements

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 17, 2008

I’ve been given a lease service agreement to be a chef-on-call. Although most people were like–are you okay on being a chef-on-call? They get suprised when I say that I wanted it that way.
That I have lotsa stuff to do, and I’m really really thinking that this on-call thing would be a great way to [...]

I officially can be called a CHEF now.

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 15, 2008

 But still undercover. I’m a chef-on-call for Kidzworld now.
I’m going to head their kitchen for events and other things.
I’m going to be running a kitchen! I’m going to be cooking!
yes!
Major gripes in the finances department there. I can’t believer the fact that I’m having a hard time getting someone to pay up. Gah, this is [...]

Shortbread cookies

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 9, 2008

Basically, I tested the shortbread cookie recipe that I found and tweaked. It looks good and tastes good, I have some issues with being smoother, but that’s my fault because I suck at hurriedly rolling out dough.
So here are the cookies after being baked:

Then, i made the frosting. I found this powdered sugar frosting recipe [...]

Endurance

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 6, 2008

I just realized this thing.
I don’t have endurance.
I have passion, but I don’t have endurance.
It’s a bad failing.
I will get this endurance, even if I have to kick my own butt towards my goals.
———-
That is, I didn’t go to the final interview for the chef position. I didn’t, and it’s sad, but I didn’t.  But [...]

My Gastronomy Assignment: Reposted

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 2, 2008

GASTRONOMY=INSPIRATION
 
The pursuit of chefdom is a long and arid road, full of mistakes, of burns, of foul tasting and equally heavenly concoctions, of tears both of happiness and sadness, frustrations and tribulations. At the start of the year, our gastronomy teacher asked us after a quite eye-opening discussion on Gastronomy to write a paper on [...]

YEHBA from my Bed!

Posted by: undercoverchef on: March 2, 2008

I’m not lying on my bed..(well, the right term would be reclining, since techinically, I can’t be horizontal or else acid will be refluxing to my poor esophagus.. ohkay..). So what I am is on my bed and contemplating the mad cooking yesterday and the plans for today and next week.
YESTERDAY:
Managed to cook off a [...]
