Tips And Tricks To Grilling By Professional Chefs
Grilling is a cooking method that chefs absolutely love. There are many reasons why they choose to grill rather than cook certain types of food, but the most common reason is because it gives their dishes an amazing smoky flavour. Professional chefs, especially male chefs in their men’s chef aprons and coats, know exactly what type of wood chips or charcoal can give meats and vegetables the best flavours for grilling. These include hickory, mesquite, applewood, cherrywood, pecan wood, Brazilian pepper eucalyptus, green tea leaves etc. Most commonly used woods are maple wood & oak wood as these give out a great aroma and flavour to the meat.

Options On How To Customize Your Chef Uniforms
Chef uniforms are an essential part of the chef's trade. A chef uniform is a type of dress code for chefs that includes at least one piece of clothing that identifies them as a member of the culinary team such as chef coats or cook shirts, and it may also include other items such as hats or chef aprons. All the pieces of clothing that are included in a chef uniform have to be clean and tidy at all times. The most common type of material used for making chef uniforms is cotton, due to its durability and breathability. The benefits of wearing a chef uniform are many, and include their practicality, durability and functionality. These uniforms are also very easy to wash, which is an advantage for busy kitchens where there's lots of cooking going on all the time.

How Do Culinary Arts Teachers Decide What to Teach?
What do culinary arts teachers teach? This is a question that many students who are considering culinary school ask themselves. The answer to this question varies depending on the type of cooking school you go to, but there are some general guidelines for what a culinary arts teacher would cover in their curriculum. They will usually teach skills such as knife skills, baking basics, and how to make sauces from scratch. In addition to teaching these basic skills, they also have to decide which topics they need to teach in order for each student's skill set to be complete once they graduate from the program, as well as introducing the students to different ingredients and their uses. If you want to become a professional chef, then simply wearing chef coats or cook shirts, won’t make you one, it is the knowledge you get from your instructors that will make you a chef.

Why Is A Pre-Sale Inspection Crucial Before Selling Your Property?

Why Craft Distillers Are Pushing for Direct to Consumer Sales
Craft distillers are a new breed of small-batch producers who have been steadily gaining popularity over the last few years. What makes them different from larger companies is that they use traditional methods to produce their spirits, which means no additives or artificial flavourings, but use all-natural handpicked ingredients for the products. They also choose to focus on single product lines and do not distribute as widely as other brands, as their focus is more on quality and taste, rather than the production of big quantities and profits. Some good examples of this are The Lakes Whisky and that classic craft gin, Old Bakery Gin.

Is "Big Whisky" Afraid Of The Craft Spirit Movement?
Big whisky is a term used to describe the large, multinational conglomerates that produce and sell alcoholic beverages. These companies are often referred to as "big spirits" or "big liquor", and are mass producing companies, with huge annual figures. Craft spirit, on the other hand, like The Lakes Whisky producers, refers to smaller distilleries that create their beverages in small batches, but pay more attention to creating an artisan beverage that offers great taste sensations. The craft movement has been growing over the past few years and it's changing what we know about drinking and how we drink. Big whisky companies see this as an emerging market with potential for growth, but at the same time they don't want to be overshadowed by these new craft distilleries. The major difference between big whisky and craft spirits is that craft spirits are distilled in smaller batches while big whisky is distilled in large quantities, because, craft distillers pay far more attention to the quality of their product than quantity and profit.

What Is The Difference Between Liquor And Liqueur?
What is the difference between liquor and liqueur, is an age old question asked by many people. Liquor, also known as spirits, is a distilled beverage that contains ethanol. Liqueurs are sweetened alcoholic beverages made from distilled alcohol and flavoring ingredients such as fruits or herbs. A key attribute of liquor is that it's typically consumed neat (without ice or mixers). Another distinguishing factor is that liquors tend to be strong due to their high alcohol content; they're often 40% ABV (80 proof) whereas wines can range anywhere from 8% ABV (20 proof) to 20%. So, the alcohol percentage for liquors ranges between 20% and 50%, while liqueurs have an alcohol content of less than 20%. Some common examples of liquors include vodka, gin, whiskey and tequila. Examples of popular liqueurs include Bailey's Irish Cream and Chambord raspberry-flavored fruit liqueur.
