Jamie Oliver’s TED Speech: Fight Obesity

Chris Mower — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 13:00:09 +0000

This is a must watch. You don’t want to miss this.

Jamie makes some excellent points and is rather persuasive on this topic. I agree with all of his points with the exception of government being the solution to controlling fast food. If change is going to happen, it needs to come from the bottom up; change by parents; change by communities; change by mom and pop restaurants. Change that inspires and promotes a better lifestyle. If consumers demand healthier food from restaurants and schools, and step up and lead with their convictions, change will happen.

Video: How to Make No-Knead Bread

Chris Mower — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:36:14 +0000

It’s snowing like crazy right now, which for some reason instantly put me in the mood to bake some great fresh bread. I love the aroma of fresh bread and biting through a crispy crust when it’s fresh out of the oven. Mmmmm. But alas, I’m still working on access to my old pictures (…click here if you must know…), and I’m at work on lunch break. So instead, I’ve been searching for an excellent bread-making video to post on The Cooking Dish (and to break this non-recipe dry spell). I came across this YouTube video posted by the New York Times featuring the Sullivan Street Bakery’s head baker, Jim Lahey, who apparently can make a mean loaf of bread. I’d love to spend a day in his bakery learning to bake.

Jim uses 5 basic ingredients to whip up a simple loaf of bread with amazing taste. He says, “[It's] a truly minimalist breadmaking technique that allows people to make excellent bread at home with very little effort. The method is surprisingly simple — I think a 4-year-old could master it — and the results are fantastic.”

Video: How to Roll Bagels

Chris Mower — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:00:53 +0000

A quick video I put together to show how I roll bagels. I was holding my digital camera with one hand and rolling with the other, so it’s not the best, but it gets the point across.

Video: Learn How to Chop Vegetables

Chris Mower — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:40:15 +0000

I’m just your ordinary home cook, but I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills in many different areas (and not just cooking). Recently, I’ve been wanting to learn how to chop vegetables quickly. Because I’ve been cooking for a while I think I’m a little faster than the average veggie chopper, but it’s come to the point where I’m not satisfied with that anymore… I MUST HAVE MORE POWER! MWAHAHAHAHA! So I’ve been on a quest to find great online videos that teach how to chop vegetables fast and with more proficiency. I think my favorite video so far has been this one by Chef Jean-Pierre. If this is something you’re looking for, then I hope it helps you out too.

I had some fun and made a ninja cake for my birthday. Of course, if you make a ninja cake, you have to cut it with a sword. Here’s a tip… use a sharp blade or you’ll massacre your cake.

Read about the cake here.
