here is a quick but extremely useful tip on how to tie piping bags! Just like how you mise en place ingredients, setting your piping bags up properly will lead you to a nice and easy cooking experience. This is one of the first things I learned when I started working at my restaurant and I realized that not many other people do this, even though it makes piping so much easier and cleaner. I hope you all learn something from this video, little things like these that you can apply to upgrade even your home cooking make me really excited :) as always feel free to comment below with any questions or message me directly! #fyp #culinary #culinaryarts #cook #cooking #chef #tip #learn #learntocook #skill #basics #tutorial #pipingbag #piping #restaurant #technique #food

Here’s how I did on my first final exam of culinary school! We have been prepping and getting ready for these exams for a few lesson now, and our first of two exams is all about making a dish starting with a whole fish and a set list of ingredients. I wanted to do something fun but also complicated to challenge myself and I definitely had a lot of components and different things to focus on while I was making this dish. I also wanted to make an effort to stay as clean and organized as possible throughout the exam and I ended up making something that I am really proud of taste wise, but not so much conceptually and visually. In hindsight I should have had three pieces of the mosaic on the plate each individually garnished and with contrasting colors (my idea was to have it monochromatic, but it ended up being too much) but still I had a lot of fun winging all of the recipes and making this dish come together in just a couple of hours. I really can’t believe that there is only one more lesson to share with you all, it really is just the beginning of our culinary journeys together, and there is so so so much more I am excited to share with you. Hope you all enjoyed and as always, if you have any questions feel free to comment below or message me directly! #fyp #culinary #culinaryarts #culinarystudent #culinaryschool #chef #cook #cooking #learntocook #test #exam #final #grade #pressure #food #rate #taste #fish #pov #dayinthelife #foodtok #cooktok

Final exam time! wanted to try something fun for one of my final exams so here’s a POV view of me going through my test. This test was a 2 hour practical where we had to filet and skin a flounder than use it with 2 other vegetables, 1 sauce, 1 starch, and garnish and present to our chef for grading. I had lots of fun pushing myself for this exam and really trying not to be too messy (even though I was hahaha). This was a thai inspired green curry with a flounder and nori mosaic, topped with a basil emulsion, thai fried basil, basil oil, on a bed of rice with pickled zucchini and broccoli stem. Hope you all enjoy and as always if you have any questions feel free to comment below or message me directly! Happy weekend :D #fyp #culinary #culinaryarts #culinarystudent #culinaryschool #pov #chef #cook #cooking #food #final #exam #test #grade #taste #dayinthelife #asmr #foodtok #cooktok

More culinary techniques and here we have the chiffonade! Super simple but effective way to cut up your herbs instead of chopping them which gives you long stringy/ribbons that can go into sauces, soups, or fresh on top of anything. With any herb just pick a few leaves, stack them on each other, roll them up so they become easy to cut, and slice away. Another thing I forgot to mention is while cutting herbs you should really try to slice with a forward motion instead of just chop up and down because when you chop you damage the herb and crush it which isn’t what you want. Work has been really busy but happy to bring you all some more videos while I’m working, I just learned how to do a pretty fun technique today which I’ll share soon :D as always feel free to comment below with any questions or message me directly! #fyp #culinary #culinaryarts #culinaryskills #chef #cook #cooking #learn #learntocook #knife #knifeskills #skills #technique #basics #beginnercook #tutorial #teach #herbs #chiffonade #foodtok #cooktok

Final written exam! But not really hahaha. This was the last day before our practical exams where we took our written exam for a bit of the class and then were given the rest of the time to practice making vegetables and sauces for our final. A lot of people in class were hungry and didn’t really feel like making a mess of pots and pans because we didn’t have too much time, so me and a friend just decided to make some food for everyone. Making pasta is always simple and delicious and also helps me practice a bit for my final exam anyways so I had some fun just throwing together a tasty dish for people to enjoy :D Random day but still an important one for getting prepped and ready for our finals, hope you all enjoyed, and if you have any questions feel free to comment below or message me directly! #fyp #culinary #culinarystudent #culinaryschool #culinaryarts #chef #cook #cooking #food #test #exam #final #pasta #learn #learntocook #tasty #dayinthelife #foodtok #cooktok
