just wondering any other chefs here or work in wellington?

[Nagash]

I'm a chef, used to be working in Auckland.

Currently i'm working in a bakery but will be moving back to the kitchen beginning on next year.

[chef]

nice man. would like to try bakery

[ckai]

wanted to be a chef but my maths teacher at school who used to be one said the hours sucked and to move on. A part of me wishes I hadn't but I don't think I could have handled it when I was young.

I admire you lot. Good chefs are hard to come by. And the hours really do suck.

Hey who wants to give me free lessons? ;)

anyone got a good recipie for dog?Whatever you do, don't put beef stock on it. Changes the flavour completely.

Try an orange in its mouth or something, and wire a big grin on his chops.

anyone got a good recipie for dog?

I would jugg the dog saving the blood , i would burn the hair off with a blow tourch and gut it out.. and portion.
I would brine it for a couple of days .. with mint and pineapple and let the enzymes break it down as the dog has lots of tendons and silver skin.
I would then vacume pack it whole and simmer it in a water bath until i could see clear juices from the larger portioned peices ( this not letteing it dry out and retaining lots of the flavour)
From here i would put them on a hot plate and render down the remaining fat and until skin is brown and crispy. Toss around in the pan and coat with apple reduction and monte' in some butter for gloss ( season )

Sauce:
In the seperate pan.. fried shallots finely chopped, red chilli, lime zest and galangal, lemon grass also the poaching bag liquid reduced down to almsot sec. Bring back and deglase with rice wine and whisk in a enough blood to thinicken. Dash of red current jelly for acidity and gloss. Quickly push though strainer into fresh pan stiring in finely grated valrhona chocolate to taste. (season)

Serverd with freshly wilted bok-choi and bamboo shoots sitting on bannana leaves.

I am not sick please dont judge me... i always wonder what human taste like too:shifty:
