Easiest is to throw oil, scotch bonnets or any hot pepper , lime, garlic, ginger, green onion, vinegar, brown sugar and S&P in a blender.


To make it more authentic you need pimento seeds but those are tough to find.

This, plus a little soy sauce. But in order to be true jerk you need pimento aka all spice berries.

Surf and Turf. Perfect Medium rare steak, grilled shrimp, roasted mediterranean vegetables and rosemary potatoes.

Croissants with sea salt. I tweaked the recipe to add more butter

My first salad of the summer. Grilled conference pears, garlic mushrooms, homemade croutons, griddled stem broccoli, avocados and a fish cake in the middle.

This was a super easy spaghetti and garlic mussels dish. I’ve made it twice this week.

Breh you a beast. Going out to eat at Restaurants:mjlol:

Is it possible to get this good with just practice? I've always admired cooking because it truly is Art & Science at it's perfection.

I'm trying to lose weight so my options are mainly chicken and fish.

Yes it’s possible w just practice. I’ve learned so much just by watching YouTube videos and practicing. It’s really not that hard unless you’re trying to make some bougie French shyt.

This is all I can do for now. First time cook steak last year. Was tough because I didn't know itany better. It was a cheap cut and I cut with the grain. Taste wasn't bad



Will post my seared chicken next time I make it. It gets better everytime I make it. I made some lemon butter sauce last week, came out good:leon:

I'm not a chef, I've only ever cooked what I wanted. I experiment, I go out to restaurants. The key is to have good kitchen habits and utensils. There is a thread I made here called cooking tips for beginners

There are MANY secrets to Jet's Orange Chicken, including ACTUALLY using orange juice in the glaze and frying up the chicken until they’re G.B.D. — that’s golden, brown and delicious!


:ohhh: Brehs, according the dude in this video (at the 0:45 mark), Chicken Powder is actually the secret to saltiness & savoryness of the foods at chinese restaurants NOT Soy Sauce.

This actually makes. I make chicken fried rice sometimes using just soy sauce & sesame oil for the flavor and it just tastes bland to me. I've been wondering how the hell do I enfuse chicken flavor into the fried rice. I was seriously thinking of putting chicken grease into the fried rice.

It's just bullion w MSG. MSG is the umami in a lot of dishes.

Just came back from the store brought this new Honey Teriyaki sauce.... I got an idea to marinate my burgers in the sauce overnight and cook them after, So that way the burger mixed in with onions and white mushroom toppings on a regular bun and melted with cheddar cheese... Sounds amazing...:noah:

Be careful the sugar in the sauce will burn over a raw flame or in a flat surface before the meat is cooked.
