SAVING TIME IN THE KITCHEN | 05.21.2024
... means having more time for apéro. "The one thing that transformed my experience in the kitchen is basic chopping skills. Not carving roses out of tomatoes or anything like that, but being able to do my daily mise en place in a fraction of the time. Having taught fermentation and cooking classes since 2015, one thing I’ve noticed is that we have all been muddling our way with knives," explains Christine Syrad. We weren’t properly taught how to chop and it’s not our fault! It’s the most fundamental thing one can improve on to take a 30 minute recipe and cut it down to 15.
Spending less time chopping ingredients = more time and energy for prepping ingredients for the coming week, maximizing fresh produce and making sure nothing goes to waste. If you add a few quick ferments to the mix, you have condiments you can grab and use to elevate your dishes and cut down further on cooking time. In Japan we eat many dishes at each meal, so we learn to optimize our prep time and rotate components throughout the week while still mixing up flavours.
In this cooking class we will cover the following:
- How to use a chef’s knife safely
- Basic ways to chop your fruits and vegetables
- Storing the vegetables we’ve chopped for the week ahead
- Prepping up to 3 meals at a time without spending hours in the kitchen
- Making a miso-based sauce you can use in any stir-fry
- Making a salad dressing you can keep for weeks
- Making a marinade you can reach for meat or meat alternatives
- Lacto-fermenting the bits and pieces we’d normally put in the compost
- Preparing a meal together for the evening but also going home with pre-prepped ingredients for the next day
