Food

A place to share what you're cooking and eating on Farcaster.

I had a food prep chef for a few years. They’d come into my home and prep a few meals for the week. One thing I learned from this experience is that I was not using enough salt in my own cooking. I was shocked at how fast they would go through a box of salt. Since then I’ve been intentional about adding more salt than I think is needed during cooking and everything has been tasting better, without tasting salty.

🤣🤣 can’t get anything past this crowd

food prep chefs (aka personal chef) are often cheaper than what a lot of busy families end up doing- ordering take out.

More expensive than cooking on your own. And requires a bit of work to find someone that’s a good fit for your family.

not to distract from the underlying point (which is v true) but

“food prep chef” is a sneaky humble way of saying personal chef😂😂😂

My chef used to always taste my food, look at my disapprovingly and tap his spoon on my cookware and that was code for more salt. He said Americas were terrified of salt and he was going to make me more scared of him that salt. It was terrified of the man. It worked. I go through a lot of salt.

Haven’t read it but have heard a lot about it

If you haven't already, I'd recommend reading "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat". I learned from it how salt is a great flavor activator (and is key when boiling vegetables to avoid leeching flavor into the water).
