Grilling Steak: A Chef’s Guide to Cuts, Tips, and Techniques

by ChefPerry

  Humans have been eating beef since prehistoric times and for good reason. Pound for pound, beef is one of the best sources of high-quality protein and nutrients. It’s also the third most widely-eaten meat in the world, accounting for about 25% of modern meat production, after pork and poultry.  I love beef. It’s such a straightforward and simple food to cook.   Though you can get fancy with it, if you want to, all you really need is a little salt and heat to create one of the most delicious foods on…

Good Food Starts with Good Food

by ChefPerry

    One of the biggest factors in cooking good food is using good food to cook. This is a point we stress over and over, with every kid that comes through our cooking program.  Not expensive food, not even "fancy" food (though that can be a lot of fun when you can swing it), but good, real, recognizable food. Start small, instead of buying that can of diced tomatoes, buy three Roma tomatoes (about the same price), dice them in a bowl, and sprinkle a little salt and sugar on them.  10 minutes later…
