Corn oil
ginger
cilantro
lemon juice

wasabi powder, have tried horseradish too
tomatoe
and scallions.

Dont get me wrong it tastes great but i have had better and would appreciate some criticism, im no chef just someone who loves food

[insane24]

the tuna... lol
what kind of tuna are you using?
hopefully fresh yellowfin
i would use extra virgin olive oil
some grilled corn and then shaved is good
also some avocado would be great in it.

[Epic1988]

Yep always, i never though to try grilled corn but i have used avacoado.

Does anyone have any solid homemade lemonade/limeade recipies?

[calvman]

Limeade recipes are all over the internet and pretty simple. What I do is make a simple syrup (1 c sugar dissolved in 1 c water). Add the zest of a couple limes while it's still hot. Use as many limes as you like. I usually go for 3-4 depending on size. Allow to cool.

Combine with the juice of the limes. You can strain the zest out or leave it before mixing.

Serve chilled with ice.

If you like your drink a bit less sweet mix it with seltzer for some fizz.

jalapeno Sliced, minced, etc.?
wasabi powder, have tried horseradish too I would only add at the point of plating
tomatoe What kind?
and scallions. Maybe try shallot instead?

And finally, what kind of salt are you using? Table, kosher, or sea salt? Any fresh cracked black pepper?

I bought a book on making bread (Bread Baker's Apprentice) and made my first starter two days ago. Going to make a poolish to make ciabatta later in the week.

[Jasper24]

A sour dough starter?

Im still going (I was spartan58..banzored). I just got John Folses Cajun cookbook. Really ready to get into it.

Really would enjoy some good recipies, tips etc from your time in NOLA. Incredibly jealous of that still.

Let me hunt down my recipe for Red Beans (as in Red Beans and Rice) - it's absolutely delicious and I really need to start making a habit of making it on Monday's again...

[BenderBR]

Well it is a traditional Monday dish no? I've been doing some work man. Beignets, chicken/shrimp/sausage macque choux, and boudin balls yesterday.

[impygimpy247]

I have a bachelors degree in Restaurant Management and I am a chef at the moment.


Am I allowed in here?

Did you go to AI? Im debating whether i should go another 2 years or not. Im not a huge fan of baking but i may just go another year and get my certificate for that as well.

[rdm3000]

I'm really into cooking. I don't really do recipes and cook something somewhat new every time I cook. Any of you guys have any suggestions for how to get better at cooking? I live with 4 room mates and I've yet to have them hate on my food.

I have some training as I used to work in a gourmet kitchen where the head chef would basically have me do everything.

[xmoneymike55]

Damn ive been off of ST for a year or so, i was really excited to see a thread like this...that is until i noticed it was dead.

For what its worth ive been in restaurants for about 10 years and the last 4 have been working from dish to chef de partie in a large luxury resort. I have no formal schooling, but IMO it is not needed. The only school that put out consistantly impressive/useful was CIA.

Thinking about picking up some swordfish later today. I had it in Hawaii and thought it was amazing. Anyone got any tips or ideas to throw in with it?

Has anyone here attended Johnson & Wales? I was a senior this year and just graduated. I am heading off to Denver in September. Just wondering if there were any JWU chefs out here.
