Salmon By : Seth Miller Salmon is the common name for the several species of fish from the Salmonide family. Their flesh is generally red, but there are some white-fleshed wild salmon. History of Pizza By : Seth Miller It is well documented that people of several ancient cultures, like Persia, Afghanistan, and India, ate unleavened flat bread baked on hot stones or in earth ovens. People of these countries continue to eat these breads even today. So, the roots of pizza bread probably lie in the mists of time even earlier than the 6th century BCE, when the soldiers of Darius the Great were known to have eaten bread baked on the flat surface of their shields during war. Cooking Schools By : Kevin Stith In the early days of civilization, cooking was only for survival. An Assyrian king held the first known cooking contest in 600 B.C. and several years later Archestratus, a Greek, wrote the first known cookbook, Hedypathia. Le Grand Saint Bernard Hospice, the first inn in recorded history was founded in Switzerland in 961 A.D., the first café in Constantinople in 1550 and the first restaurant was opened in 1765 in Paris. Since those early days, modern cooking has risen to the level of an art. Black Chef Hats By : Jason Gluckman The most popularly used chef’s hats are white in color.

Chinese Herbs By : Jimmy Sturo Chinese herbs are a separate category of medicines altogether and rightfully so. They can strengthen the immune system, inhibit the growth of tumors, manage blood pressure and increase sexuality – indeed, the range is very wide. There are numerous herbs, including those that are considered common and those that are the jealously guarded secrets of traditional Chinese herbalists. Cast Iron Cookware By : Peter Emerson Popular with chefs and culinary experts across the globe, cast-iron cookware is a very useful tool to cook delicious food. This durable cookware is slow to heat, but once it reaches the required temperature it provides even heat, making it a necessary and valuable tool in every kitchen. Like copper, it is a very old cooking material and used for many cooking activities like browning, frying, stewing, slow cooking and baking. Pizza By : Seth Miller People all over the world relish a mouthwatering pizza. Young and old are captivated by the sheer variety of flavors. Originating from the Italian word “pizza,” which refers to a range of dough based dishes, the roots of pizza lie many centuries ago, as far back as the 3rd century BCE, when Persian soldiers and Greeks ate garnished flat bread. Legends record that in the reign of Darius the Great of Persia, 6th century BCE, soldiers on long marches baked bread on the flat surface of their shields and ate it with dates and cheese. Chef Hat History By : Jason Gluckman Chef hats have a history that can be traced as far as the beginning of the centuries. Although the real origin is not really known, it does go back a long way. It is a popular belief that the chefs in the courts of Iran and the nearby nations wore the chef hats even in the B.C. times, although for reasons that might be different from now. However, the shape and sizes must have considerably undergone some drastic changes since then. Even with all the noticeable changes, the chef hat is still being worn by all the chefs and cooks worldwide to avoid stray hair from falling into the dish being prepared allowing contamination of the dish. Chef Hats By : Jason Gluckman Chefs wear distinct hats known as the toque blanche or, in more popular words, a chef’s hat, while working in kitchens. One of the main reasons to wear a chef’s hat is to stop any stray hair on the chef’s head from falling into the dish being prepared at that moment. Many chefs wear a head net that covers the entire head and then put on the chef’s hat on that. This locks the hair in place and provides no chance of that hair falling into one of the dishes about to be served to a customer. Filet Mignon Steak By : Max Bellamy The word ‘filet mignon’ means small boneless piece (in French ‘mignon’ means small and ‘filet’ means a boneless piece). It is considered to be a premium cut of beef, taken from the small end of the tenderloin. Filet mignon steaks are called by different names in different parts of the world – chateaubriand, medallions, tournedos, filet de bæuf, tenderloin, etc. are all different names of the filet mignon steak. It is the tenderest steak and is circular in shape about 3 inches in diameter. Deep Fried Turkey By : Peter Emerson The turkey is a large bird that is used for many delicacies. Deep frying turkey is very popular in the Southern United States, especially Louisiana. It is ideal for barbecues and outdoor parties. Deep frying retains the juiciness inside the turkey, while making the skin crispy. For deep frying, the ideal temperature is between 325 and 365 degrees F. For turkeys that are less than 12 lbs in weight, the frying time is 2½ minutes/pound. It is more than 3 minutes/pound for turkeys that are more than 12 lbs in weight.

Flank Steak By : Max Bellamy The underside of the belly is called the flank. It is the part directly below the sirloin and the short loin. Steaks cut from this area are grainy any chewy. Hence, special cooking methods are employed for flank steaks to reduce their graininess and chewy nature. But these cuts are quite favored for their beefy flavor.

The name turkey was first applied to the guinea fowl that was thought to have originated in Turkey. However, the American turkey is a quite different species from the guinea fowl, though the name remained. In fact, the wild turkey was a staple food in the North American diet.

Salmon Recipes By : Seth Miller Salmon can be prepared in various styles. However, before you attempt to cook salmon it is essential that you actually know how to buy good, fresh salmon. Which type to buy will depend on your style of cooking. If you are planning to grill them, then buy them in fillets or steaks. For baking, get a whole fish, fillets or smaller portions, according to your needs, and for making fish patty cakes it is best to use canned salmon or fish in a pouch. Vegan Cooking Schools By : Kevin Stith The vegan diet encourages a life wherein all forms of animal exploitation are shunned. Vegans usually follow a fresh fruit, vegetable, grain, nut and legume diet. Vegan cuisines typically include tofu, tompeh, seitan, gluten and soy. Grilling Steak By : Max Bellamy Steaks are the most palatable when they are grilled. The best steak for grilling is the sirloin steak, but it tends to be a bit tough. The T-bone steak and the porterhouse steak are both excellent choices and the bone in them give them an added flavor. Rib-eye steaks also grill well, as do the rib steaks. Filet mignon steaks do not generally find their way to the backyard barbeques owing to their steep prices. Thick steaks grill well than thin ones – the thin ones tend to form a hard crust, which interferes with the cooking of the interior of the steak.

How to Cook Steak By : Max Bellamy Steak, though a grill favorite, can be cooked in several other ways. They can be pan-fried, braised, broiled, baked, etc. Selecting the proper method for cooking steak depends on its tenderness. There are dry heat methods and moist methods. Dry heat methods are generally applied for more tender steaks such as filet mignon and sirloin, while moist heat methods are more suited to tougher cuts of beef. The water helps in tenderizing the steak. French Bakery By : Eddie Tobey France is a country well known for romance, food and wine.

Smoked Turkey By : Peter Emerson The turkey is a big, domesticated bird, native to North America. Turkey is distinguished by its white plumage and a bare wattled neck and head. The name turkey was first applied to the guinea fowl that was thought to have originated in Turkey. However, the American turkey is a quite different species from the guinea fowl, though the name remained. Sirloin Steak By : Max Bellamy It is said that King Henry VIII was so fond of this particular steak cut from the loins of beef, that he termed it as ‘Sir Loin’, which became notoriously famous as the sirloin steak. The sirloin steak is cut from the lower portion of the ribs, which continues onwards to the rump and the tenderloin. The muscles of this region are a bit exercised and hence, the sirloin steak is a tad bit tougher than the other premium steak, the filet mignon. In fact, the sirloin steak is the cheapest of the premium cuts of steak. Chef Uniforms By : Jason Gluckman A chef’s uniform consists of different pieces of clothing to complete the attire. Although most of the chefs do not wear all the pieces, most of the restaurants and big chain hotels insist on the chefs being properly attired in the entire uniform. A chef’s uniform generally consists of a head net or chef hat; a bandanna, chef neckerchief, scarf, bow tie or Swiss tie; apron, chef jacket or coat; chef pants; belt, gloves; and shoes. A chef’s hat, scarf and apron would be a definite part of the uniform that is worn by all the chefs. Although the restaurant might be a bit lenient with regards to the ties, scarf or neckerchief, most chefs also wear them as they act as sweat absorbents while in the hot kitchen. Also a bandana is a mostly used to act as a sweat blocker. Steak By : Max Bellamy A steak is a slice of meat that is cut from the flesh of an animal or a large fish. Beef steaks are by far the most popular type of steak. However, steaks of chicken, turkey and lamb are also ordered in restaurants. Steaks may be cooked by grilling, roasting, pan-frying or broiling.

Italian Bakery By : Eddie Tobey Bakeries are found aplenty around the world. The items that are typically found in bakeries are cakes, puffs, biscuits, cookies and other snacks. However, the Italian bakery is one kind of a bakery that produces different goodies in addition to the staples.

Ways To Prep Lobster For Lobster Recipes By : Elizabeth Gilley Lobsters are fantastic crustaceans, not to mention the most expensive. The costs of lobsters come with a good reason.

Wholesale Bakery By : Eddie Tobey There are many wholesale bakeries, like Sara Lee, that produce cakes and biscuits on a large scale for distribution purposes. Maintaining a wholesale bakery is not that easy, as it requires the knowledge of bakery management and the maintenance of hygienic conditions for the production of bakery foodstuffs. Steak Recipes By : Max Bellamy Steaks are the easiest to prepare among all the meats. Tender steaks like the sirloin and the T-bone (filet mignon is the tenderest but it is very expensive and not easily available in the markets) are usually grilled. Most recipes differ in the marinade that is to be applied to the steak. Marinades use wine, lemon juice, soy sauce, tomato juice, etc; or even fruits like papaya and pineapple. Steaks are marinated for 6 to 24 hours, depending on the recipe and then placed on the grill. A charcoal grill is the best bet to get the restaurant-like flavor. Based on the tenderness of the steak, they are turned twice or thrice to get the desired level of doneness. Steaks should not be disturbed when they are grilling, as this does not allow the crust to form on their sides. Also they should not be poked with forks as this would allow the juices to run out of the steak. Want To Get Healthy? Eat Your Fruits And Vegetables!

Culinary arts schools nowadays offer a holistic approach to training and education. Several prominent and established culinary institutes offer extensive training, not only on the subject of cooking, but also on the whole aspect of food preparation, including safety, business management and finance. Disposable Chef Hats By : Jason Gluckman Initially, chef hats were made of stiff starched cloth that was pleated as per tradition. These tended to become limp and worn as time passes due to the frequent washes they are subjected to. Also, it was a long and tiring process to ensure that the pleats were all in place and the hat is stiff enough so as not to sag on the chef’s head. Starch was a necessary ingredient to keep the hat up and smart looking.
