Cooking Techniques
Cooking is far too broad a science for a
universal approach, but foods should taste
like what they are. Ingredients in most cases
should retain their identity, and the cooking
technique in the title of the recipe should be
the cooking technique used to prepare it. If
the item is Roast Chicken, it should have the
character of something that has been roasted.
Understand the basic techniques and use them
properly. Do not call it Roast Chicken and
serve pale, flavorless, baked chicken. Teach the
techniques behind the recipes and remember
that the details matter! If you put chicken into
a 350˚F oven and then turn the temp to 425,
it is already too late-you have baked it, not
roasted it.
Seasoning
Aspiring chefs always think they will
creatively discover some new seasoning blend
or combination of flavors that is going to
revolutionize the culinary world. If someone
already came up with curry powder, it is likely
that the best flavor combinations have been
discovered. Start with garlic, lemon, salt, and
pepper. I love to provide a safe environment
to experiment and make mistakes, but learn
to command the basics first, then we can talk
about your teriyaki horseradish lasagna idea.
Just remember, you can always add more flavor,
but you cannot take it out. You can only
experiment on your residents so much before
they start calling for your replacement.
Getting Creative Within a Tight
Budget
If your cooks have time, let them utilize
leftovers or other ingredients that need to
be used up to create food for staff meals or
cooking competitions. Maybe even bring
in a few fun items too, if the budget allows.
These are great ways to encourage creativity
and a little friendly rivalry without breaking
the bank. If your menu allows you to serve a
" soup du jour, " then consider adding it to your
