It's my credo that the

basic cooking techniques
Once you learn how to
handle these fundamental techniques, you will be

Cooking is not just
about recipes ....it is about how to take
ingredients and make them taste as good as
possible.
Recipes are great road
maps to show us how someone else got there, but
one of the joys of cooking is to find your own
paths.
Knowing these techniques
is like taking the car out for a spin in a new
location. You're not sure where you are going to
end up, but getting there will be
fun.

Elementary Cooking
Techniques
Baking: It is primarily
used for the preparation of bread, cakes,
pastries, pies, quiches and crackers.
BRAISING: (from
the French “braiser”), is a combination cooking
method using both moist and dry heat; typically
the food is first seared at a high temperature and
then finished in a covered pot with a variable
amount of liquid, resulting in a particular
flavour. Braising of meat is often referred to as
pot roasting, though some Chefs make a distinction
between the two methods.
Grilling:
It's what guys do best.. At least that's what we
think!

Chefs do it. We will show YOU how to do
it. Pan Searing and Oven Roasting.
Poaching:
is particularly suitable for delicate food, such
as eggs, poultry, fish, and fruit, , which might
easily fall apart or dry out. For this reason, it
is important to keep the heat low and to keep the
poaching time to a bare minimum, which will also
preserve the flavour of the food

The French Word 'Saute' is a past participle of
"to jump"
