Mine is, don’t eat anything solid, hold your poop for 3-days. When the redditors arrive why won’t understand, but whatever food you eat will be the best you ever tasted, they also will remain confused about why there is so much karma on your foodporn posts!
Reverse taring - instead of placing the bowl on the scale and taring before weighing, place your ingredients on the scale and tare, and you can then scoop out and see the negative weight of how much you have used. This is especially helpful if you are trying to weigh an ingredient into a hot pan you can’t just set on the scale
if it’s sweet and you haven’t added acid, add a splash of vinegar.
if it’s too hot, add fat
if you burn it, throw it out.
IF you taste it early, it should taste weak. If it’s fantastic when when it starts to simmer, it’ll be too harsh once it’s reduced.
Taste it and it tastes empty or boring? Smell it. Smell all your herbs/spices on hand, which ever one it smells the closest to, add a healthy pinch and salt if it doesn’t taste salty already.
know your oils and use the right ones. Olive oil can handle some heat and is great for savory, grapeseed is almost flavorless. Canola has a distinct flavor that doesn’t go with everything.
Classic! Long time Chef John’s subscriber here. I was there before his channel and “his brand” was partnered with Allrecipes.com
As to his lilting speech - you’re right, it used to be less pronounced, but over time it became part of his brand and it’s just so entertaining. I love the cadence, love the “you are after all the (rhyming word) of your (foodstuff)”. He has great recipes, perfect for every day meals, this chisaupepo, for example, is in heavy rotation in my household.
Cacio e pepe is simple but not easy, although delicious when you nail the technique, and trust me, it’s all technique. It’s the holy union of spaghetti, cheese, black pepper, and maybe some butter or oil, with pasta water to bring it all together. I really think being able to nail a proper cacio e pepe will make you a better cook.
My go to is a simply cooked protein, a simply cooked veggie, and a carb. Season all 3 of these however you like, Mexican spiced, Asian sauced, just salt and pepper will do well in a pinch.
Examples: pan-fried chicken thighs, asparagus, and rice.
-Baked salmon, sautéed brussel sprouts, and bread
-Ground beef, and veggie stir-fry with rice
Over easy eggs and caramelized onion over day old rice is some of my favorite comfort food. Or garlic rice and eggs. Maybe some red hot dogs and banana ketchup on the side if I have 'em.
