messing with your food

Posted by: undercoverchef on: May 4, 2008

They say the path to greatness comes from experimentation. Today, I experimented with the remains of breakfast.
It showed a lot of promise, but I gotta stop using just the microwave and the oven to toaster to experiment and start using pots and pans like a normal chef. Jeez.
So here’ s what I came up and [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

 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!

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 [...]

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 [...]
