To cut cost when preparing food or cheating

Me-la-mine
There are so many ways to cut corners and of course do it legally.
Call it fine dinning.
usually a blender or electic chopper will do the job for you.
Instead of serving a piece of meat,
Chopped it up in the blender add cream, or water that will increase the volume of the meat. Pipe it or shape it, grill in the salamader and brush with egg wash to give a brown or usinging a blown touch. Decorate with some colourful sauce and colour veggies
Fine dinning is the presentation of the food, lots of bullshits, I prefer classical food. Don't have to add melamine, that is murder!!!

Make a quick Buck!!!

China is in the head line again.
Many people with money like to by food that is cheap!!!
Cheap food or Making the food cheap to sell,
Who is the winner or who is the losser.
The subject is Milk and milk products.

How the maggots got into mac maggots curry ?

The packing might be broken by packing and the flies just lay some eggs.Giving enough
maggots to feed one hungry guest, just one is too many. At least this is a dinning experience, a once in a life time dinning experience, the guest will remember forever.

Maggots in Curry Sauce - Mc Donald

It is frightening to find maggots in food.With so many things about food happening it is only wise that we must not trust the brand. Many many years as a consummer remind me
before putting any food into my mouth take a careful look before eating. it will be too
late to complain.

Every year we pray to the spirit gods and after they have eaten we ate. But there people who have yin-yang visions. They saw the spirit god eating and they are turned off.

You can also buy ready made

There are many sauces, stocks, and seasoning on the supermarket shelves. You don't have to know to cook to serve tasty meals to your friends. All have something in common, artificial enhancement to make it taste very good!!!

Respecting ourselves in public

Many people want respect to an extend they make anybody who served them small, belittled the service people,demanding, rude for just one reason, just want to look better then others.Respect is something people gave to us,we don't respect others for nothing and other cannot respect us for no reason. Service people provide the service are professional they follow the rule of the trade,they make us "look like a king" does not mean they belittled themselves .Very simple no matter how wealthy a person is that is a personnel matter respect is given, by people who think you reserve it, not because you are rich or having a high paid job.

Taste

Taste, most people expect the food they paid for to taste good.
The truth is what you paid is what you get.
You pay alot of money, the time and the food cost will be the product of the food.
But if the food is cheap most people will only sugar, or MSG or food booster to make the food taste good. But the food you get at a 5 stars eating place is prepared with no
booster to improve the favour, just bone, veggies, herbs. So what you pay is what you get, no such thing as expensive food, but good food is expensive to cook.

To Prepare food, your guest said was good.

You walked out after dinner, you can hear people saying the food were so, so. Why were
the food so, so only. Most people go for taste, and we call it the local taste buds. Those cooks that are not sensitive to the guests taste bud shouldn't cooked. Simple I know what the local liked and disliked, and I just do that, Good on me, I knew my job.

How much meat must we take a day?

Meat and fish in the frezer ( organised you freezer)

Working woman may be happier if there is enough raw meat and fishes in the freezer. Cut
the meat to suit your method of cooking. Buy 5 kg for each meat item packed into individual portion and store neatly in tray or plastic container. Good to have a freezer, ice cream freezer at home. Have beef, pork, chicken, fish, seafood, packed and thaw in the micro wave oven when needed.

3 courses dinner

Seafood chowder
Prepare a fish stock, if you don't have bone use ikan bilis, or ikan bilis booster seasoning. Bring to the boil, cool the stock a little. Mix water with flour and pass through a sieve.

Boneless chicken marinated with yoghurt and herbs

Marinate boneless chicken with yoghurt,olive oil,soy sauce, herbs, and allow it to sit in the chiller over night. Cook the chicken in the foil bag.


OR


Fish fillet seasoned with chinese wine, herbs

Olive oil,lemon juice, and spring onion. Cook the fish in a foil folded bag.


Fruits salad

Fresh fruits in season marinated in their own juice.


Tea or coffee.

And

A packet or glass of drink.

Use Natural seasoning

Meat favour can be enhanced by plants product, such as herbs, vegetables, roots vegetables and of course a very good stock. Meat taste better if for example you pan fry with onion, or mushroom, or chillies. Later add wine or stock and a thickening to form a sauce. Sometimes you create your own dish, sometime you don't. In fact all great dishes were created by someone.

Cooking home meal.

Home cooking is cooking international food.
Fish is best bake, stream, or grill. Remove the scales, wash the fish and marinate the fish with pan salt, or light soy sauce, lemon juice and olive oil. You will find that your fish will not be dry when cooked. For grilling, I love to grill my fish in low temp.160C. The meat become dry if the temperature is high. For streaming the flame must be high. If the fish is very fresh streaming is prefer. Pan frying,your kitchen will be oily, and not healthy to consume. No point poaching unless you want to serve it with a sauce.

Creating our dish.

No such thing as you cannot use chinese ingredients to cook western food, can cook fussion food. As long as you like it, just do it. example tofu cook with vegetables any vegetables cut into any size but
keep it to the same size add tomato sauce and tomato puree, a sauce for spaghetti is ok, provided you don't over seasoned.

What to cook today?

Everyday we asked the same questions.
Lets not be hard on ourself. Make it simple, different meat every time, every meal. Just rotate it or not the same for a few days. Not the same type of fish, different method of cooking it. Rotate the vegetables so you get all the nutrients your body need. Remember used only olive oil. Various method of cooking meat, roasting, grilling, pan frying, stewing or even streaming or boiling. Don't used too much msg or booster seasoning, just use herbs....... Cheers.
