As you all know I love to cook and bake. It’s one of my favorite things to do. I find it extremely therapeutic and fun. Even though I have been cooking and baking for as long as I can remember, baking bread from scratch since I was nine years old, I don’t know how to do everything. I am still learning techniques and how to do different things in the kitchen. I believe that anyone can cook with the right guidance. I just downloaded a new app called Top Chef University To- Go. I have watched Top Chef before and I really like the show. I think this app is brilliant because it is like they are in the kitchen with you. I like to learn visually and since there are video cooking lessons it helps especially if you don’t know how to do a certain technique and without spending hours on Google trying to figure out what different words mean you can just watch and cook along.
I have always wanted to go to Culinary School. I wanted to
be a chef when I was younger. I used to pretend I had my own cooking show. Now
with this app I can go to cooking school from home in my own kitchen. I don’t
have to worry about going to class or even do it on a schedule. I could learn
at 3 am if I wanted to. Top Chef
University To-Go has great videos. They are fun to watch. I learned what I need to have in my kitchen, I
have always wondered if I have all the tools I need. I am missing a few of the
items. One of them being an oven thermometer, I always just trusted the
oven. I need to get one ASAP. There is also a lesson in introduction to
Knife Skills. I was scared of knives for a very long time. I am not sure why, I
never cut myself but once I figured out how to use one properly, I am able to
do so. I am not sure the proper way to peel an apple. I end up wasting some of
the apple. I think it might have to do
with the fact that I am left handed. This Halloween, Noah and I carved a
pumpkin, well both of the pumpkin knives broke. I wasn’t done carving so I was
forced to use a sharp knife. I managed to carve it without losing any body
parts or cutting myself. I know watching the Top Chef University To-Go videos
it will help me become more confident in using knives in the kitchen.
I multitask all the time so I have to make sure I am really
paying attention as I do in the kitchen.
It is really important to be safe in the kitchen and have the safety
precautions in place so no one gets hurt.
