Cobb Salad Recipe

I like to dress the salad in advance. Too many people drown the salad, obscuring any subtle taste you get with proper dressing. If you do dress the salad it is important to serve it immediately or the ingredients will wilt and get soggy. Everything can be prepared and arranged in advance. Toss the salad after presenting it to the table. Serves 4-6 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped (about 2 cups/94g) 1 small head of chicory, chopped (about 1 cup/60g) 1 heart of romaine, chopped (about 1 cup/47g) 1 bunch watercress, leaves picked and chopped (about 1 cup34g) 2 beefsteak tomatoes, peeled seeded, diced*, divided in half 1 avocado, diced (sprinkled with lemon juice to prevent browning) divided in half 3 hard boiled eggs, diced, divided in half 8 pieces crispy bacon, diced 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced, divided in half 2 green onions, diced ¼ cup/2 ounces/60 grams crumbled bleu cheese ¼ cup /60ml lemon juice ½ cup/60ml olive oil 1 teaspoon/5ml dijon mustard ½ teaspoon/2ml sea sal...

Fermented foods are so good for your immune system and gut health. No need to make huge crocks of the stinky stuff. You can make a couple of ball jars worth. I say if it tastes good eat it.

Ceramic vs. Stainless Steel Knives

A question often asked by our cooking class students is: “Which knife is the best”. Our answer is “No one knife is the “best” one for everyone”. The reason is the knife has to feel comfortable in your hand. Go to a specialty cooking store and ask to hold the chef’s knives. The one that feels best in your friend’s hand may not feel the most comfortable in yours. The reason is hand size, strength and dexterity. The most important thing is the knife must be well balanced and have some weight to it. The knife is supposed to do the work, not you. When it comes to ceramic vs. stainless steel that can be tough. I don’t think I have ever seen a ceramic knife in a professional kitchen, but that does not take away the positive attributes about ceramic knives. Ceramic knives are very sharp. Ceramic knives are produced from very hard ceramic, known as zirconium dioxide. This material is very hard that’s why they stay sharp for longer and don’t require frequent sharpe...

Homemade Turkey Ham Recipe

Making your own cured turkey “ham”, is not only healthier, but in our opinion much tastier. It will be much lower in sodium and be preservative free. You are going to use turkey in 3 different forms. Cubed, minced and pureed. This will give it a more “ham” like texture. Start with 2 pounds 10.5 ounces of skin off deboned turkey thigh meat Cubed Turkey 14 ounces/400 grams turkey meat, cut into cubes 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/4 teaspoon/1 grams curing salt Minced/Ground Turkey (if you use pre minced make sure it’s thigh meat) 14 ounces/400 grams turkey meat 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/2 teaspoon/2 grams curing salt 2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons/40mls water For The Puree 10.5 ounces/300 grams turkey meat 4 teaspoons/20mls water 1/2 teaspoon/2mls garlic powder 1 teaspoon/4 grams salt 1/2 teaspoon/2 grams curing salt 1 large egg white 2 teaspoons/10ml liquid smoke 1/2 tablespoon/2 grams smoked paprika Trim the turkey if not trimmed alread...
