Why trust my cooking gift guide? I’m a home cook that takes his hobby way too seriously. After I quit my tech job to work in Michelin star restaurants, I joined a recipe app to head their product team. Along the way, I’ve hosted dozens and dozens of dinner parties and popups — and I’ve accumulated a LOT of stuff. Here’s the best of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1f9b8a07-9930-460d-9ad6-da338372b5f5/Render+1+wood+correction+%281%29-2+2.png posts - HOME COOKING GIFT GUIDE 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/25cd0e15-2b1d-4906-b6ba-27009bf0e80f/PXL_20240120_003029820.jpg posts - HOME COOKING GIFT GUIDE 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/cooking-gear-obsession-chamber-vac-lm89e monthly 0.5 2024-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/25a5da04-7266-41ce-b05d-aa5684b2a229/PXL_20240904_162820026.MP.jpg posts - COOKING GEAR OBSESSION: CONTROL FREAK - Some Michelin-level cooking gadgets remain only dreams to home cooks. The Thermomix, the chamber sealer, the Pacojet — all tools necessary for professional-level finesse but not a justified cost for home use. I used to feel that way about the Breville Control Freak, too. But then I did the unthinkable and bought it. In this post, I share why I’m totally obsessed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/8a9520a9-5a49-4c5b-8c3e-092d76da7ca2/img95o.jpg posts - COOKING GEAR OBSESSION: CONTROL FREAK - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/9e37e8dd-375a-40c8-8c29-4cc0d2fdec18/Screen+Shot+2024-05-29+at+4.16.32+PM.png posts - COOKING GEAR OBSESSION: CONTROL FREAK - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/try-me-los-angeles monthly 0.5 2024-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/c483521c-825e-473d-8c7a-0479ef2c8a6b/PXL_20240203_234004932.PORTRAIT-EDIT.jpg posts - Try me!

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR Kitchen LIKE A RESTAURANT - Until I worked in professional kitchens, I considered my home kitchen highly organized.

A take on ceviche that trades lime for lacto-fermented and semi-dehydrated apricots, it was the unanimous favorite course! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/879df889-0f13-442e-8e79-40a666b7760f/dehydrator.jpg posts - Fermented ceviche recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/37232973-e03f-4338-97dd-3ea538610c5d/anova.jpg posts - Fermented ceviche recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/f9103b72-7d5a-4c82-9cbd-5710a0d59b16/tork.jpg posts - Fermented ceviche recipe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tomato-wonton-recipe-v2 monthly 0.5 2023-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/7f6a910a-2268-4ac4-b7b8-d9e765c41f4d/IMG_20230114_114540_755.jpg posts - Tomato Wonton Recipe v2 - This is a recipe for a pliable, transparent film that tastes of dehydrated tomatoes.

No, not for the fact that — in a city of culinary heavyweights — Isted Grill was the center of gravity for top chefs after a grueling shift.

I highly recommend it. No wonder Noma chose this sauce as the first item to showcase Noma outside its doors. But one bottle is around $40 with shipping, and making it yourself takes a few months. So I engineered my own take on the recipe that takes a fraction of the time and tastes just as good (in my humble opinion!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1618024191075-GDIJ11T84DICF7SMG6ZI/PXL_20210212_191446992.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - Smoked Mushroom Garum Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/d647d3ff-6104-4fb7-b28d-1c6283df179c/PXL_20220815_010712155.MP.jpg posts - Smoked Mushroom Garum Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/991c088a-71e0-46dc-ae55-380d9061094a/00000IMG_00000_BURST20190222153447473_COVER.jpg posts - Smoked Mushroom Garum Recipe Cremini mushrooms before roasting overnight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/03c42cae-dc57-4887-afd6-c35d2a2c030a/PXL_20220725_223739806.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - Smoked Mushroom Garum Recipe Smoking the morels https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/8330dd56-a077-43b4-8328-ba53c30df631/PXL_20220725_232016343.jpg posts - Smoked Mushroom Garum Recipe The mushroom sludge before it liquifies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1618024654547-7LNLBBQIWLK1BLX1R6BK/PXL_20210404_160140802.jpg posts - Smoked Mushroom Garum Recipe After straining but before clarifying (this pic is from a different sauce) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1618024676794-QA68USSW13JN6IZUSVU1/PXL_20210409_052122495.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - Smoked Mushroom Garum Recipe After clarifying with the freezer method (this pic is from a different sauce) https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/artificial-intelligence-plating monthly 0.5 2022-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/2d536a9c-1422-4cf6-ac12-ca0971381828/DALL%C2%B7E+2022-10-05+08.38.34+-+award-winning+photo+of+ramen+in+the+style+of+modrian.png posts - Artificial Intelligence Plating - If you haven’t yet, try DALL-E.

In this post, I attempt to summarize all you need to know about food safety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615695200481-S3ZQM8GJSKR7FMZYITYL/bwY3YEg7Uk7QtrHNU6a8pR.jpeg posts - The Ultimate Food Safety Guide Salmonella https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615657851781-TPNL0FE7OKRCUOH3KR1X/OSC_Microbio_09_03_pH.jpeg posts - The Ultimate Food Safety Guide Each bacteria has an ideal acidity for growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615617750792-VM1KFNEXRKLA28P3FATP/Stability-Diagram.jpeg posts - The Ultimate Food Safety Guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615697374835-ZIOJ9YKBQKQVI61Y9VQ3/image.jpeg posts - The Ultimate Food Safety Guide Canning under pressure to raise the temperature to 250f. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615700162106-BBR544EE7X6GS3SJ27BX/SEM_Clostridium_Botulinum.jpg posts - The Ultimate Food Safety Guide Clostridium botulinum https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/dashi monthly 0.5 2021-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615401031172-YPDIYAD83SWKBDMYKNOB/IMG_20190713_205733_746-2.jpg posts - Smoked Fish Dashi and Cooking Local - If the messages I’ve received since my Way of Ramen podcast visit are any indication, home ramen chefs are struggling. They want to enhance their ramen with the pungency of fish, but they can’t find niboshi — the dried sardines from Japan deemed perfect for the job. The good news is you don’t need niboshi to make a pungent soup. And in some ways, not using niboshi can make a bowl of ramen more authentic. In this post, I share my recipe for a smoked fish dashi that doesn’t use niboshi (or a smoker). It’s meant to be an example of the benefits of embracing local food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615355224806-PLZEV1KJGY50WUKEYY5O/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20191231134149730_COVER.jpg posts - Smoked Fish Dashi and Cooking Local Farmers market visit in CDMX https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615354962657-DWDZNUTGVMBSK7NM88CL/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190706121640532_COVER.jpg posts - Smoked Fish Dashi and Cooking Local Redwood tips ready to forage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615401094324-18C0QO2AE6CFUMLTRDRJ/00000IMG_00000_BURST20200617174034779_COVER.jpg posts - Smoked Fish Dashi and Cooking Local Night smelt ready to be smoked https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615354795507-8ELC6CZ3CHRZZQ0N6PDD/00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190330132349914_COVER.jpg posts - Smoked Fish Dashi and Cooking Local I’ve tried many local fish for this recipe! https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/the-best-steak-is-dehydrated monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1615311797813-VKJA40V6BTENWUAVEFHT/PXL_20210303_022254204.PORTRAIT-3.jpg posts - Is the Best Steak Dehydrated? - There’s a new method for cooking steak that’s making the rounds: dehydrating it!

At first, the idea sounds simple, too. You’ll invite her to your place. It’ll be dark, with candles setting the mood. You’ll serve her a sophisticated meal, something that whispers I’ve got my act together and tastes great, too. You’ll laugh, drink wine, and share an intimate evening that feels like the beginning of the next stage of your relationship. Ya, it sounds perfect. And it can be — but it’s exceedingly difficult to pull off. If you aren’t thoughtful about each aspect of the experience, your romantic dinner date could very well have the opposite of its intended effect. In this post, I’ll share all I know to help you host a three-course dinner date at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614566441037-5EY2GP2JSQGC229GGE18/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200124182108186_COVER.jpg posts - Hosting A Romantic Dinner At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614567122106-MI6BGI1QJKQH2VB2FF85/wellveggie_sprouted3-articleLarge-v2.jpg posts - Hosting A Romantic Dinner At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614566886040-BMCBMNHSP7ANHIKYDP7S/20191104-red-wine-braised-short-ribs-vicky-wasik-21-1500x1125.jpg posts - Hosting A Romantic Dinner At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614566966015-6E63XKT2UPU6GY4IP84X/Bananas-Foster-002-1-800x1000.jpg posts - Hosting A Romantic Dinner At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614564934378-7K5UORSPZVSQNFR06RF7/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190929163910803_COVER.jpg posts - Hosting A Romantic Dinner At Home https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/ramen-tare-umami-hack monthly 0.5 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614740722503-CGNXD4L49NOZA65QQTC9/IMG_20210227_152451_990.jpg posts - Upgrade your Ramen with Fermentation - Fermentation and ramen are best friends.

That’s because the more bowls of ramen you make at a time, the cheaper and easier it is to produce a quality bowl. So if you’re already planning your first post-COVID dinner party, I suggest you choose ramen. Over the last 4 years, I’ve served about 600 bowls of ramen to guests. In doing so, I’ve found that the tools you choose are paramount for producing a superior final product (and a fun party).

But when koji is roasted, it reveals its hidden desire to taste a bit like chocolate. For a couple pop-ups in San Francisco, I served a roasted koji ice cream that juxtaposed koji’s dessert-like flavor profile with the acidity of raspberry and depth of thyme. In this post, I’ll provide the recipe for both making the roasted koji ice cream itself and for prepping the dessert in its final form: a sundae served with freeze-dried raspberries, brown butter koji caramel, thyme, and cornflower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614147447156-LKU94FDWXTWSRLEILSYX/IMG_20190502_234823_280.jpg posts - Roasted Koji Ice Cream Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614147594896-JR5XDS6WQD0JS0D879XQ/00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190502194421625_COVER.jpg posts - Roasted Koji Ice Cream Recipe Cornflower and thyme ready to be placed on ice cream. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/me-on-a-podcast monthly 0.5 2021-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614038233518-3XMWVUK0ZJHK6XMNOW8V/152426092_425157858592053_19798583834739759_n.jpg posts - Me on a Podcast - I recently joined the Way of Ramen podcast to talk all things ramen and flavor.

Packed with glutamates that make dishes taste more savory, garum can transform a dish with just a dash. If you haven’t had garum, it’s probably because it’s so difficult to make. Most recipes take four months, and many require that the sauce be kept at specific temperatures over that entire period. Thankfully, I figured out a way to hack dietary supplements to make authentic garum in an insane 3 hours. And I can’t believe it works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1613196724849-W9MSMV38KYSFTG2PMVEZ/PXL_20210212_191446992.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - 3 Hour Garum Recipe Freeze-dried pancreas is removed from the supplement capsules before cooking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1613709475188-BKUTP6A1C5UXFB1BPZ2Y/PXL_20210217_215534600.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - 3 Hour Garum Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1613196006584-V6LU7I72ZSV8O08HG544/PXL_20210212_191706462.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - 3 Hour Garum Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1613196008104-6ZTS9L7OU71690XEYJ06/PXL_20210212_193525185.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - 3 Hour Garum Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1613195989731-AH6O5FQSTLOZVER89LRV/PXL_20210212_223231355.jpg posts - 3 Hour Garum Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1613325025636-6AFILQYE8REVST578M2J/processed_PXL_20210214_052903730.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - 3 Hour Garum Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1613493843104-89VLSLRETLL6LOK9X95K/processed_PXL_20210216_163822435.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - 3 Hour Garum Recipe https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/niceee-lavender-spice monthly 0.5 2021-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612917142028-7ICA7ZEP3NP9NDS49EX6/duck.jpg posts - Niceee Lavender Spice - The iconic honey lavender duck from three Michelin star Eleven Madison Park can only be described as peak deliciousness. When I visited the restaurant in 2016, I was simply in awe with my first bite of the dish. EMP’s head chef Daniel Humm even describes their honey lavender duck as “one of the only recipes I feel I've truly perfected” — and that’s saying something from the restaurant rated #1 in the world in 2017. Much of the honey lavender duck’s flavor is attributable to a four ingredient lavender spice mix. In this post, I’ll detail how you can use that ethereal EMP duck spice on so much more than duck. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/the-best-books-for-foodies monthly 0.5 2021-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612842557469-TB8ZA2JR2B2RRLIW96IP/IMG_20181103_011507_017-2.jpg posts - The Best Audiobooks for Foodies - I’ve found that great chefs are often great writers. There is a shared art between executing a vision on a plate and executing a vision on a page. Both take mastery of structure, suspense, and constrained creativity. And, more so than written word, audiobooks succeed at conveying a chef’s excitement and worldview — it’s like plating your dish at the table.

And for good reason — there are so many intense and unique flavors hidden in the world around us, just waiting for some brave cook to incorporate them into a dish. Personally, I’m obsessed with foraging for ingredients and am always on the hunt for wild herbs in the Bay Area. But my favorite foraged ingredients are the ones I discover in my own kitchen. In this recipe, we’ll review how we can utilize food waste to produce an incredible ingredient. To me, it’s all foraging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612405609394-QPSV6QF5Y7RQEC3NE5H7/PXL_20210202_222509017.jpg posts - Fermented Hot Sauce Powder Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612412585657-5N4OLL3WFMPNNNZLOK4F/PXL_20210203_153937089.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - Fermented Hot Sauce Powder Recipe The hot sauce paste after drying but before blending. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612412842488-X5TQNKTI9CIHUIM2MZET/PXL_20210204_033552494.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - Fermented Hot Sauce Powder Recipe Mussels steamed in white wine with celery leaves, lemon thyme, acid trip tomatoes, and fermented hot sauce powder. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/next-level-cookbooks monthly 0.5 2021-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612312478247-94RKMXYABEXV9ZDETI46/PXL_20210203_002759574.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - The Best Cookbooks for Ambitious Home Cooks - This post is not about decorating your coffee table.

Fermentation makes hot sauces taste better and last longer, so I use two fermentation methods in all of my hot sauce recipes.

The result is something so savory and delicious that you’ll be glad it lasts months in the fridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612232213412-BD1CC1077NANIM4BTN4Q/PXL_20210118_232138894.PORTRAIT.jpg posts - Double Fermented Hot Sauce Recipe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612232073881-UUGGG0RGP0JGL028ZD7B/image-asset.jpeg posts - Double Fermented Hot Sauce Recipe https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/hosting-a-tasting-menu-at-home monthly 0.5 2021-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071454144-FA82P2RD56GAIQ48T1CC/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2832+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home - There is no better home-cook flex than to host a well-executed tasting menu for friends. Unfortunately, most that try fail, and they fail hard. If you haven’t attended one, just imagine a procession of luke-warm courses that are served, in awkwardly long intervals, by a stressed out and exhausted host. Conversation from guests centers around the scuffle in the kitchen, and the night ends with encouraging-yet-condescending words of “I’m so glad you tried this.” It’s decidedly not a restaurant experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071529635-YS6OBVER5IMRRUK1GG2R/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2823+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071535307-VLVKHLAWS751CPTAGAUC/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2821+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071551749-YAEM9UN7FYJDH8RMKD2W/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%287+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071543819-T4IAGLA7ZQCT7934NMLN/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2810+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071546680-56VRPB7WF3HTF2DSZQK8/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%289+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071541340-1T05I7N44PP2B7BDSW67/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2820+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071522967-E5XOS3EU2WQCMSMI12TU/Dinner+%26+Drinks2+%281+of+1%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071529758-AQ6BWKBEOGQY8KKIWBLH/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2824+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071541222-G1LSWBLCODV3F7FTDYUD/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2816+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071535017-UOWMBY3SMZT29GOM4HC2/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2822+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071548939-0A1VXQTEURELERQI76YA/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2811+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071523995-RMXUKAGRCYFMKHPB0KXT/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2831+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612071713725-7VZY3YC6NHY5VQC1MX20/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2828+of+32%29.JPG posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612076818788-W4ZPW9Q605XHU656ZADJ/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2824+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home - So, rather than pick a menu and then figure out how to do it, you need to identify your constraints and then find a menu that fits them. To ensure that the meal is paced like a real restaurant, you’ll need to cook multiple dishes (e.g. course 4 and 5) at the same time. The best way to do that is to choose a menu that makes it possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612076886101-FL9VCC3Z03FZLBJK0VZL/image-asset.jpeg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home - Thankfully, cold dishes work very well as starting bites or desserts. Consider veggie-focused amuse bouche to start the meal, raw seafood or cold broths as earlier courses, and ice creams or custards for dessert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612076978168-Z1D8XCY96TTLREFVOKB9/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2822+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home - Don't plan to serve two courses in a row that would need the same serving plate. This enables you to prep for the next course while your guests are eating the previous one. It also keeps variety aesthetically. And once you’re feeling really organized, this also lets you store plates for cold dishes in the freezer and for warm dishes in the oven, helping to keep food at the correct temperature while you're plating something intricate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612077131057-K3JO2E1HLMZ8YK2SQ1QV/image-asset.jpeg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home - For every ingredient, you need to ask yourself: Will the quality of this ingredient suffer if I make it in advance? If the answer is no, or even if it is a maybe and the ingredient isn’t that important, you should make it in advance. And you can be creative about it too. Are there parts of the ingredient you can do ahead? Everything but salting it? You’ll thank yourself later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612077175507-EM6JU18FK1RY13IAJWM4/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2823+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612077062569-F7ZALZ5K4LO3T463YD9M/Dinner+%26+Drinks+%2831+of+32%29.jpg posts - Hosting a Tasting Menu At Home https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/vegan-yakitori monthly 0.5 2021-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612062128551-D778VSP269L3JNQZ72XS/image-asset.jpeg posts - Vegan Yakitori Recipe - The secret to delicious and savory vegan yakitori is fermentation. In this recipe, I’ll teach you how to harness umami through fermentation so you can kick real yakitori’s ass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612062340194-SYAJ19RQA88F9FS4UZOU/00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20180626182437398_COVER.jpg posts - Vegan Yakitori Recipe - For inspiration, I looked to Noma’s celery root shawarma. I still have no idea what they did to transform celery root into such a delicious dish, but I figured koji probably had something to do with it. Koji, if you’re not aware, is the molded rice used to make miso, soy sauce, and sake. Like nature’s MSG, koji is by far my favorite way to add umami to vegan dishes. My theory was that I could combine celery root with koji and other savory ingredients and cook it just like authentic yakitori. To my surprise, it worked. Really, really well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1612064128364-SUF3RW7PJP4VI5V6T2N8/00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20190502211101038.jpg posts - Vegan Yakitori Recipe - The hazelnut puree adds a nutty flavor to the yakitori. It also forms a bond of sorts between each piece of celery root, making the dish look more like yakitori after it’s cooked. You can make this a couple days in advance. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high for 5 minutes. You are blending this long at such a high speed to lightly “toast” the hazelnuts. We’re cooking with blenders up in here! Salt to taste The yakitori before being fully cooked. Note the spray bottles in the back!

Strawberry Flavor-bombs - In my spare time, I run weirdceviche, a culinary project and pop-up where I’m trying to push ceviche to its limits with fermentation and other cooking techniques. Unfortunately, perhaps because I’m trying so many new techniques, most of my recipe tests for weirdceviche fail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611972308267-A92EK6FC0IW18QUYYS9G/101172777_265687371451280_4367265941247203288_n.jpg posts - Strawberry Flavor-bombs - ABOUT THE RECIPE This recipe requires knowledge of fermentation. But before you click away, hear me out! I’m going to teach you the basics of fermentation so you can not only make this recipe but also create pickles, kimchi, or even soy-less sauce. Fermentation an incredibly useful yet easy skill to have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611905893800-19UQR27WBKWA8MQTCVGB/71HNNlG%2B1yL._AC_SL1500_.jpg posts - Strawberry Flavor-bombs - 1.

Scale You need a scale that measures to the gram, because we’re going to add exactly 2% of the strawberries’ weight in salt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611897975464-LBICP6ZVLWXZ5ARX8AAH/810jf2t0cWL._AC_SL1500_.jpg posts - Strawberry Flavor-bombs - Assuming your oven does not go as low as 130f, you’ll need a dehydrator to complete this recipe. There are many workable dehydrators out there for very cheap. But once you really get into dehydrating, you’ll probably do what I did and toss one of those to buy an Excalibur.

There are countless ways to develop your own flavor profile and bring a dish like a fish fillet to the next level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611890810074-8J7P8Q04RDJZH1D4SJ5H/00100lPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20190907213133435_COVER.jpg posts - Nutty Beurre Blanc Hack This beurre blanc is addicting.

Here, I covered cod with zucchini and brushed it with basil oil. At the table, I poured the piping hot beurre blanc over the dish pictured. With a typical beurre blanc, intricate plating like this would result in the whole dish becoming room temp – not good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611973346879-XO7WNRDW2FFEVY2F07MU/91IEXsPdduL._SL1500_.jpg posts - Nutty Beurre Blanc Hack - Since I love the combo of pistachio and basil so much (and I like to make pistachio milk!), I go through a lot of raw, unsalted pistachios. I have a subscription to these because they are consistently fresh and way cheaper than you can get elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611889824739-UMP3OYL97NUUNZ7VMBVZ/71PvaBFqm1L._AC_SL1292_.jpg posts - Nutty Beurre Blanc Hack - If you’re new to sous vide, apologies! I use a ChefSteps Joule to cook skin-less fish filets like cod because it allows for perfect temperature control. There’s no better way to ruin this dish than to serve the cod overcooked. Sous vide also lets you keep the fish at temp for a long period of time, helping you focus on that sauce emulsion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611903332766-5HAQYA7ESIXI1XMWAIQE/IMG_20191222_184840_252.jpg posts - Nutty Beurre Blanc Hack - I’ve tried this with: Roasted hazelnut beurre blanc with porcini oil https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/soy-less-sauce-recipe monthly 0.5 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611899709502-541S9V5J5AXV7V7MXY4O/IMG_20210128_214357_588.jpg posts - Soy-less Sauce Recipe - So when one of my recipe tests with zero soy and zero wheat ended up tasting, looking, and smelling like a mature, umami-rich soy sauce, I was ecstatic. Somehow, I had stumbled upon a recipe for soy sauce that has no soy, no gluten, and can be made in a fraction of the time as real soy sauce. Better yet, it has subtle, earthy notes that many soy sauces fail to achieve. Perfect to use as a dipping sauce for gyoza. Oh ya – and there are only two ingredients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611896270477-PXQYT141LUN47XUEQTH5/81Bd2NX-k9L._AC_SL1500_.jpg posts - Soy-less Sauce Recipe - 1. Wide-mouthed mason jar This is the vessel in which you’ll be fermenting the mushrooms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611896388922-5CZHLHKWOZNMFV98VKUI/51QxdSjTfcL._AC_.jpg posts - Soy-less Sauce Recipe - 2. Fermentation lid When the fermentation is doing its thing, air escapes. We want air to exit the mason jar so that it doesn’t explode from built-up pressure. But we also don’t want to let air in (because that can let the wrong bacteria take hold). This lid has a one-way valve to allow for this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611896672111-CUCQ29Y7ZGGW08FWSRYC/618Nl4HYM8L._AC_SL1500_.jpg posts - Soy-less Sauce Recipe - 3. Fermentation weights We want to ensure that the mushrooms aren’t exposed to air. A glass weight like this ensures that the mushrooms are submerged under their own liquid rather than exposed to air. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611896996427-7PJBRBUTYRGWYPTW71ZL/image-asset.jpeg posts - Soy-less Sauce Recipe - 4.

What’s not to love about gooey, golden egg yolks in a sweet and salty marinade? After working at a ramen restaurant, hosting gourmet ramen pop-ups, and trying countless recipes, I’ve developed tremendously high standards for my ajitama. In this post, I share all I know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611971793433-8JZ6UJK01XO1DIM48OOG/IMG_20210117_143245_970.jpg posts - The Perfect Ramen Egg - The people that do this for a living can peel over 3 eggs in a minute. In my most intense two weeks, I improved from 1 per minute to 2.5 per minute when I was in a groove. Inevitably, some eggs break during the peeling process. Even the pros have a ~3% failure rate. Ramen shops will treat these as snacks or boring additions to staff meal. You can do the same. If your failure rate is too high, just try increasing the boiling time a bit (provided you are satisfied with how the yolk looks afterwards). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1611972034244-26DHP6ESGY8D6XZR7SCP/38543664_2188476864765488_9081260511152046080_n.jpg posts - The Perfect Ramen Egg - Here are the elements I consider when I am serving my ajitama in a bowl of ramen: Serve them at room temp! There is nothing worse than a cold egg in a warm bowl of ramen. Yes, you stored the eggs in a fridge, but that’s not an excuse! 45 minutes before serving the eggs, I put the container on the counter for it to heat to room temp. If in a rush, I heat the eggs in their marinade briefly over the stove. Keepin’ it pretty: Always present the best side of your egg. The eggs that are busted or dented on just one side are fine provided you position the busted side down when plating. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/recipes monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/other+recipes monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/food+and+trends monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/hosting monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/ferments monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/buying+stuff monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/culinary+guides monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/food+safety monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/restaurant+strategy monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/ramen monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/buyer%27s+guides monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/fermentation monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/strategy monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/articles monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/commentary monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/category/developing+recipes monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/recipes monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/tasting+menu monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/christmas+gifts monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/japan monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/frameworks monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/hosting monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/gourmet monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/noma monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/hot+sauce monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/gift+guide monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/vegan monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/shio+koji monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/food+waste monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/buyers+guide monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/koji monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/ramen monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/framework monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/audiobooks monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/fermentation monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/dehydration monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/all/tag/cookbooks monthly 0.5 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/shadow daily 0.75 2021-03-15 https://www.culinarycrush.biz/shadow/dinner-date-dessert-recipes monthly 0.5 2021-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614562538237-IICMTWJ619RJPPSBEVU4/Bananas-Foster-002-1-800x1000.jpg shadow posts - Fire! Dinner Date Dessert Recipes - The best desserts for dinner dates at home are a bit theatrical. Provocative even. Thankfully, sugar and fire (and sparks and dinner dates) go together very well. In this post, I detail my favorite open-flamed desserts to enhance a romantic dinner date at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600fafdbb0af6b440eec8ead/1614563616642-M824R4TY5BJSRHHJM07C/maxresdefault.jpg shadow posts - Fire!

I’m Preston. By day, I build tech products. With the rest of my time, I’m using the same analytical approach to explore culinary techniques, trends, and tech. On the side, I’ve hosted pop-ups (fermentation-centric ceviche, gourmet ramen) in Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. I also staged at a few restaurants in Copenhagen. I’m a huge fan of fermentation, combining French and Japanese cooking techniques, and New Nordic food. Follow along as I share what I learn. https://www.culinarycrush.biz/ads daily 0.75 2021-03-08
