Hey there SC crew. Just wanted to give ya'll a heads up that next week I'll be really busy teaching our May boot camp. If you post a question, comment, or new forum topic, I will most likely see it, but won't be able to respond until the following week.

Please feel free to use this thread to ask questions or link to other forum topics that you want me to answer.

Once I'm done with boot camp, I'll revisit this thread and answer all the questions posted or linked here.

Murphy's Law

Forum topic

My son Jeff, was interviewed and accepted for Chopped Canada.  Upon reporting for work he was told that he  had been fired for participating in Chopped, thus losing his spot on the show because he was unemployed.  sad but true.

UPDATE...  Turns out he had a third interview,  first two by phone, this one was on-camera. Finds out if he is in , in about 4 weeks time. 

Chef, I was puzzled by the restauraunt's decision as well.

Frying bread

Forum topic

This may seem a little sacrilegious to some but has any one else had fried bread dough, or fried their bread dough?

My grandma and grandpa used to save some dough for us kids as a fast treat when they where baking bread. The smell would bring us in. Nothing like the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven.

Non traditional meal

Forum topic

Ok made a non traditional combo meal last eve.
Had a yearning for a Southern fried meal but also had a yearning for an Asian dish (originally thinking chicken chow Mein) .
 So cooked Southern fried chicken and in lieu of my typical sides of mashed potato w/gravy and a vegetable I made egg foo yung as my only side w/ brown sauce .
Actually it is a great combination (probably a chicken fried steak with same would be good also..hmm).
Easy to make and really it still felt like I was eating my soul food.

Cooking on a Cruise Ship

Forum topic

Hi,

I've always wondered how cruise ships cook several meals a day for several thousand people. It's pretty mind blowing. Here's a link to a Yahoo article on the topic. I'm sure there are much better articles out there, but this one gives you a basic idea of what it entails. It's for a ship that feeds about 5K several times a day.

Merry Christmas, everyone

Here's hoping each of you has a wonderful Christmas! 

Starting a cottage-food business

Forum topic

While thinking about starting to sell some homemade goodies under Florida's "Cottage-Food" law, I am finding out that there are more things to consider than just the recipes to select and the prices to charge.

 

For example: it only costs $20 to rent a space in the local farmers market, but that's every week, which would add up to $1040 per year. On top of that, each vendor must bring his own fire extinguisher (regardless of what's being sold - it's just a county requirement) and 10x10, fire-resistant tent/canopy. That's $130 I'd be spending right at the beginning. 

Stage?

Forum topic

Had always thought of a stage as something for someone in or recently out of culinary school or the like.

Since I still haven't found a job since getting back to the States and since I can't really afford culinary school (and, thanks to this forum and other discussions I've had, knowing that culinary school isn't truly necessary), I started to wonder how I could get back into the kitchen, extend my relatively limited experience and start to grow in this field (and NOT go back to computer work).
