Junior chef · fresh out of the pan

Moritz.
Knife sharp.

I cook with passion, butter and, occasionally, a fire extinguisher within reach.

What chefs say – and what they really mean.

Mise en place
A tidy workstation. Lasts about three minutes on average.
“A pinch”
As much as fits between two fingers. In my case: a handful.
“Behind you!”
A life-saving phrase. Please don’t ignore it, I’m carrying hot oil.
“By feel”
There is no recipe. There never was. Trust me.
Al dente
Italian for “I rescued the pasta just in time”.
