While up visiting my grandparents recently, I decided to shoot a short video. Here is a little bit of my Grandmother's story. Without her and her influence, I can say with certainty that I wouldn't be working as a professional cook today. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hui6EYqu6Q
Blonde chocolate is basically just caramelized white chocolate that you cook slowly in the oven or on a low heat on the stove.
Make sure you use a chocolate with 30% cocoa solids and not the candy coating or melts or whatever. Just bake the chocolate on a sheet pan at 250 F/ 120 C taking the tray out and stirring every 15 minutes. The chocolate is done when it's toasted golden brown and smells nutty and caramelized.
Serve this as a sauce or try to temper it and serve in bar form, shaved or grated on desserts or mixed into pastries.

Today I'm making a quick recipe for candied maple bacon. My method is a bit different than what Iv'e seen others do but this has always worked well for me. I simply mix together brown sugar and maple syrup, I used the local maple syrup that I bought recently from a farm nearby called Purple Woods here in Ontario. Then I dredge the bacon through the syrup mixture and place it onto a pan with a rack on it. I make sure to cover the base of the pan in foil before doing this as it will help cut down on cleaning time and save you a headache later on. I bake mine at 350 instead of 400 which a lot of people seem to cook their candied bacon at but I find it's much more likely to burn if you cook it at 400. I just want it to caramelize nicely and if that means having it in a bit longer and lower temperature that's fine by me. Once the bacon is finished cooking, I place it onto a piece of parchment paper as I find that the candied bacon has a habit of sticking to the rack. When the candied maple bacon is cooled it's ready to eat!

I had some leftover rice so I made these fried rice chip tuiles. You can use them for garnish or eat them as they are (they're delicious on their own). I seasoned mine with some chopped nori, sesame seeds, salt and chili flakes.
I like to make rice bowls for lunch usually with just basic sushi rice made with some rice wine vinegar, salt and sugar. Sometimes however I don't finish it all and I need to find creative uses for it or I just end up throwing it away. To make these chips you just need to puree your leftover rice with some water in a blender until it forms a thick paste. Afterwards you need to dehydrate it. In a professional kitchen this can be done easily in a dehydrator but since I don't have one at home and most other people don't there is a solution. Just spread the rice paste onto a plate lined with plastic cling film and pop this into the microwave for 2 minutes or until it forms a pliable piece of paper almost.
Once this is done you can fry the chips quickly on each side before removing them from the oil and tossing them in the spice mix. Or just leave them plain, they are just as good!

I had some overripe bananas on top of my fridge and I wanted to do something interesting to use them up before they went to waste. I wanted to see if I could turn bananas into caramel.

All you have to do is chop up some bananas and cook them on low heat, stirring occasionally until the bananas begin to caramelize. Once they have become a rich, dark brown, remove them from the heat and blend. Once smooth, store in the fridge or serve.

Today I'm making poached pears in a beautiful mulled wine syrup and served on vanilla creme anglaise. I wanted a bit of a chill one after the last video so thought I'd slow things down a bit and make something more homey and cosy for the weekend. Poached pears are a beautiful dish to make in winter and around the holidays with warm notes of spice, clove and cinnamon. The sweetness of the pairs and depth of the red wine make this is a really gorgeous flavour pairing and I love serving my red wine poached pears over a bed of cool creme anglaise.

Here's an easy tutorial on how to make garlic confit. This recipe is super simple, hands off and only requires two ingredients. What you're left with however, is perfect, soft, golden confit garlic that is great for adding to recipes or spreading on toasted bread.
//FAQ
How long can garlic confit be stored?
Up to 2 weeks in the fridge
Why do you cook it in the oven instead of on the stove in a pot?
While it takes longer in the oven, the results are much more consistent. With more consistent heat, at a lower temperature, you don't risk burning the garlic which is more likely to happen if you cook it on the stove. Also, this is way more hands off, just put the garlic in the oven and leave it for 2 hours.
What can I use this for?
Spread it on toast, add to salad dressing, use it in roasted garlic aioli, add it to marinades, add it to pasta sauce, use it on garlic bread etc. etc.
What does confit garlic taste like?
It tastes caramelized, subtly garlicky and has complex almost brown sugar like flavours.

Here's a recipe for pumpkin mousse bombs with salted caramel sauce. I've been really in the fall/ autumn spirit lately so felt like making something with pumpkin. I'm not super happy with how this recipe turned out not going to lie. Nothing like how I had imagined but that is probably because I used a mould that was not meant for this type of thing. Oh well, you live and you learn.
Pumpkin Mousse Recipe:
100 ml cream
100 ml sugar
100 ml pumpkin purée
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
Another 100 ml cream
Salted Caramel:
50 g brown sugar
50 g sugar
50 g corn syrup or golden syrup
150 m cream
75 g butter
