The Chef next Door


YUP, It's still meme week on Solitary Views and Today we are going to focus on the Chef next door.  Yes just like that "Girl" next door, everyone talks about our chef and he looks damn good in butt-less-chaps too!

So now that you have that image stuck in your mind, lets get started shall we?

You can find the original meme here: CLICK ME, All I did was google "cooking meme" so I do apologize it may be a tad out of date.

What is your first memory of baking/cooking on your own?

 Laughing: I tried to make a roast when I was 13 or 14, and had to call my mom at work every 15 minutes: What temperature? just put it in the pan? how long does it cook for? whats that smell? 


I was so proud of myself, it turned out Black, Dry, and tasting like a combination of Olive oil and Windex... My Roasting skills have improved over the years.



Who had the most influence on your cooking?

None other than Gorden Ramsey  I always wanted to capture his attitude and bluntness. 
The man commanded fear! and was remarkably talented.


Do you have an old photo as "evidence" of an early exposure to the culinary world and would you like to share it?

Even If I did have proof... Do you go around bragging when you create food that has the same taste as Windex?


Mageiricophobia - do you suffer from any cooking phobia, a dish that makes your palms sweat?

I can't even answer this because all night I am going to be trying to sound out the word Mageiricophobia (mag-iri-co-phobia) (Mega-irc-phobia) Hummm... 

What would be your most valued or used kitchen gadgets and/or what was the biggest letdown?

I can tell you what the biggest let down is.... those damn spatulas... don't even get me started!!!


Name some funny or weird food combinations/dishes you really like - and probably no one else!

Only One!  Chicken Lips on Rice... 
For real:, It's amazing!
I'll only give up the recipe over email.


What are the three eatables or dishes you simply don't want to live without?

Crackers, Spaghetti, Pizza, and butter tarts! (I would go insane without these four.)


Your favorite ice-cream...
             Butter-pecan.

You will probably never eat...
              Haggis.

Your own signature dish...
              Burred in the Solitary Views Archives.

OK, now that you got my attention!

Why don't you show us pictures of your food.

Don't be a mean and explosive chef like Ramsey. He scares me. I like Ming because he is so soft spoken and not bad looking. Ha!
