Earlier today I jumped into our Facebook group on a whim to do a live stream and say hi. What was intended to be a few minutes of awkwardly waving at the camera before signing off turned into a pretty good time! Some of the main topics discussed: Do you really need to salt your pasta water, and why I don't allow my cooks to do it in the restaurant! The controversy over hollandaise NOT being a mother sauce, and how we pick up the pieces of our broken hearts in the aftermath. My new favorite way to cook a tri-tip (it's really simple & fast). And how I lost 70+ pounds eating French toast! Quick Plug: if you like my podcast, you're guaranteed to love my Culinary Boot Camp and F-STEP Video Course which you can access here: https://stellaculinary.com/chef-jacobs-culinary-boot-camp-f-step-curriculum The above course includes 8+ hours of classroom lecture videos, my written F-STEP Curriculum in e-book form, and some fun bonuses too.
