Food Photography Backdrops You ALREADY Have! 4 Tips on Where to Find Them!
Backdrops that are FREE! Don't go out and buy a ton of expensive set equipment straight off the bat, I'll show you how to find food photography backdrops you already have in your own house. One of the biggest stresses for me when I was first starting out was feeling like I didn't have the money to create great food photography but with a little ingenuity I found a way to style my photos that was creative and affordable.

Since everything I used as a backdrop in this video I already had in my house I didn't have to spend a dime. So I hope you enjoy the video guys! Lots of super cheap and affordable ways to create food photography backgrounds and backdrops which I hope you try out.
Please note that some of the photos which I just pulled off my website look a bit grainy on when you're watching on full screen mode but I was too lazy to go find them on my other computer. If you want to see them in better quality check out my website kaccreative.com
Today, I'm showing you how to make hot chocolate bombs. The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/chefstudio11201
In the video, I'm showing you how to make hot chocolate bombs the proper way, by tempering your chocolate but really, it's not that important since you're going to be melting the chocolate anyway. The only thing is if your chocolate isn't tempered you might need to put your chocolate/ molds in the fridge to set up properly before you pop them out of the molds.

Today I'm making sriracha pearls, or caviar, whatever you want to call it using a technique called cold oil spherification. This is a pretty popular molecular gastronomy technique used in a lot of high end restaurants. It sounds complicated but it's actually fairly simply and involves mostly items you should have in any commercial kitchen and can easily get at home. Agar is the main gelling agent and it's fairly easy to find at health stores or asian supermarkets but I'll link to some down below if you'd like to order it off amazon. If you'd like your sriracha pearls to be more consistent in their size and shape I'd recommend using a syringe to drop the liquid into the cold oil but for my purposes a squeeze bottle did the trick.

After Mother's Day, I went out and foraged some ramps, also known as wild leeks. They have a really beautifully spring onion like flavour. The leaves go great in salads and pestos and the bulbs are great pickled so that's what I've done in this video. I just did a quick fridge pickle so if you want to store these for longer make sure to look up how to properly pickle things for long term storage so that you are using the correct and safe method. Next video I'll be making ramp pesto! Let me know if you like these types of chef vlogs and give @kaccreative a follow on twitter/ insta.

I had a day off while I was working over in Ireland so my friends and I made a baked camembert which we added to our Irish Cheese board. I put baked brie in the title because you can use the exact same method for brie instead of camembert. This recipe is also a bit of a vlog because we made this cheese board on a particularly good day where I got to relax near the mountains and have a seaweed bath made with seaweed from the seashore up near Sligo. Hope you guys enjoy the video, there will be more traditional KAC style recipe and molecular videos coming up this week and next.

Here's a quick tutorial on how to make these super easy parmesan cheese crisps. They look fancy but they're only one ingredient. All you need is grated parmesan. Support the channel and get a Lemon Membership here: https://chef.studio/the-lemon/
I've found that if you use the inner part of the parmesan as opposed to the harder stuff near the rind you get much better results. I think it has something to do with the moisture in the cheese separating from the fat.
Grate your parm, place in on a silpat lined baking sheet, bake at 400 F (200 C) for 5 minutes. Be careful because these burn easily. You can shape them right out of the oven when they are still pliable or use a cutter to get a super clean shape.

Vibrant fuchsia and enhanced with the earthy sweetness of beetroot, this beet hollandaise stands out on any plate of eggs Benedict. You can make this the traditional way or make your life easier and do it in a blender like I've done here. You can also use a hand blender which I typically use at work as it gives the same results quickly and with little effort.
For the English Muffins check out this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwU26A09QL4
Recipe;
250 grams melted butter
250 grams beet puree
2 tbsp (plus more to taste) white vinegar or lemon juice
Salt to taste
2 egg yolks
Blitz everything except the melted butter together until smooth then slowly stream in the butter so it can emulsify. The mixture will slowly thicken and create a delicious and bright pink/ purple beet hollandaise.

Today I'm showing you how to make marshmallows at home. Fresh, homemade marshmallows are soft, fluffy and can be flavoured really however you like. If you have a bit of extra time, these beat the stale store bought marshmallows any day. Get The Lemon! https://chef.studio/the-lemon/
Marshmallow Recipe:
125 ml (1/2 cup) water
3 packs (21 g) powdered gelatine
125 ml (1/2 cup water)
300 g (1 and 1/2 cups) sugar
340 g (1 cup) light corn syrup
1 tsp extract of your choice (vanilla, almond, mint etc)
pinch of salt
Icing sugar for dusting
Non stick spray
Method:
Spray your pan with non stick spray then dust with icing sugar. Bloom the first 125 ml of water with the three packs of gelatine in the bowl of a stand mixer.
In a pot, combine the other 125 ml water, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium high until it reaches 116 C or 240 F.
Put the bowl with the bloomed gelatine onto the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Turn it on low and then slowly stream in your hot sugar syrup. Once the syrup is all added, turn your mixer to high and let whip for about 10 minutes. When the marshmallow gets thick and fluffy add in your flavouring. The marshmallow is done when the bowl is only slightly warm to the touch and the mixture is thick and light.
Pour your finished mixture into the pan, sprinkle the top with more icing sugar than set aside at room temperature to set for a minimum of 4 hours but these are best left overnight. Flip the marshmallows out of the tray and use a greased knife to cut them into whatever shape you fancy.

My first attempt at a travel video from my time in Calabria Italy! I was in Calabria for cooking school and had the chance to take some cool video which I hope you guys enjoy. I filmed this with my iphone 6 and Go Pro Hero 3 and am pretty happy with how it turned out!
I loved being able to travel around and try many of the local food, dishes and delicacies.
