​One generally ends up having to do a lot more cooking than what was actually planned to. Be it a small party at home or a larger get together or even a wanting to set up a catering business, it starts somewhere.

You can use simple tips and tricks to cook healthy meals, bake yummy desserts, throw a fabulous party, and save time in the kitchen. Did we say time?! Yes. That ingredient, we just can’t have enough of. With a bit of planning, some expert advice, and proper ingredients, you’ll be cooking delicious meals in no time — even if you consider yourself a kitchen novice and haven’t we all been there?

Tips for Reading Recipes before Cooking

Preparing, understanding, and completing a recipe require looking ahead and thoroughly reading the recipe before you start cooking or baking. The last thing you want is to start off on your tenderloin steak and realize you’ve run out of pepper. Make sure that you’re prepared.

You often see professional chefs at Food Network doing a dish almost effortlessly always keep in mind that they have an extensive experience in cooking—blood, sweat and tears were shed before they got to where they are. So if you want to follow their footsteps, save yourself from a cooking catastrophe or at least lessen the time that you spend in your kitchen here are some valuable tips on how to read a recipe.

Read through the recipe at least twice to make sure that you understand the directions.

Make sure that you can perform all the techniques. Intent is a lot different from the follow through.

Look at the recipe yield and decide if the number of servings is what you need. If not, consider whether you should cut the ingredient amounts in half or double them.

Check that you have all the necessary equipment and ingredients.

Make sure that you have enough time before serving to prepare and cook the recipe.

Check whether you can (or need to) make any part of the recipe ahead of time.

Read through the ingredients to see whether you like them all, as well as whether the recipe has too much fat, sugar, or salt for your dietary needs. Getting these basics right is essential.

Check whether you need to use an ingredient, such as butter or oil, at different stages in the recipe so that you don’t make the mistake of using that ingredient all at once. There are very few short cuts that come to this exercise and you figure them out with experience over time.

Find out whether you need to preheat the oven. Ok, do you even have an oven? That would be a good start?!

WHAT BAKING MEANS TO ME?

When I was a kid, I loved to watch my Grandma & Grand dad both good Bakers, as they baked in their kitchen. It was fun to see how they turned simple ingredients into Sweet Magic.

This Sweet Magic inspired me to become a Pastry Chef. I continue to follow their practice Baking from the Heart and with Passion and try to bring the same flavors’ in the Cakes as they both once used to make.

When looking for some nice desserts in a place like Dubai, one generally tends to see two distinct kinds of  concepts:

Look fancy and beautiful, but taste not as nice as it looks.

Look simple and not so attractive, but taste it, you simply love it.

For me, the first and most important thing about a Cake is the look, it has to be something, “Wow, how and who made that kind!” and when tasted, the flavors should actually beat the looks!

The appearance might not be very important when we bake at home but  then the taste is.  However, when you make something good for others or if you are a Professional Pastry Chef and also expect people to spend their money on it, then good appearances do matter as much as good taste.

Growing up seeing my grandparents and also other “old time” Pastry Chefs baking, still can clearly remember the flavors they had created then. Now for me not only making good flavors but with a beautiful texture and nice structure is the next most important thing in a Cake for me.

When we have a fantastic flavor, playful texture and an exciting structure then our Cake has a story, to create a harmonic composition that connects the look, the feel and also taste to greatly experience.

I like both, the  new exciting flavors and also the very traditional tastes.

As Professionals we need to convince our customers about our product and then we need to ensure that they will never forget what they have seen and tasted.

When I bake, my main focus is on the uniqueness in the quality of flavor and also the fancy in the look of it.

Lately the trend around the World is actually to value the “old fashioned” baking and turning back to the traditional Artisan ways in Pastry, Bread, Gelato and Chocolate as against the “Soul-less” industrial mass production.

There is a big difference between to just doing something or doing something from the depth of ones Heart!
