Living with a restauranteur and chef can have it´s high and low moments! There´s something about having a professional pair of eyes, evaluating your every move in the kitchen. Here is Pescetarian Pleasures´ guide to success, if you´re thinking of shacking up with a chef….
- Do save every glass jar that you come across, you might need it for….something!
- Don’t ever throw away prawn heads, they make great stock or seafood sauce.
- Do raise your plate presentation game, the expectations are high.
- Don’t abuse the knives, they are sacred and should be respected.
- Do taste everything with your eyes closed…(it’s the only way).
- Don’t leave a metal spoon sticking out of a boiling saucepan.
- Always keep the worktop clean and tidy; ready for inspection.
- Don´t expect Molecular Gastronomy at home, there will be instant noodles or a fish finger sandwich (if you are lucky).
- Do freeze that one brown banana, eventually you´ll have enough for a banana loaf.
- Don’t leave the Tupperware cupboard in a state of disarray, or else!
- Do say ‘YES CHEF’, even when they’re wrong.
- Never ask what’s for dinner; they won´t know!
