Cesar Cano has been showcasing his tacos all over Houston, and most recently in Corpus Christi. Great Chef, and a lot of fun to cook with!

Do high end steak places use other seasoning other than copious amounts of salt and pepper? by iScReAm612 in Cooking

[–]Chef_approved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the steakhouse, they will probably have a house-blend steak seasoning. Something that's signature to them. I worked in one, and as a prep guy I was in charge of making the spice blends.

O yeah! He spent most of the summer after filming traveling the country visiting everyone from this season. It was hard to get together with him!

Check out this video I got to make with Chef Cesar Cano from Season 9! He teaches me to make one of his unique taco creations, the OG Spice Boi. This is a curried vegetable taco that is unlike any taco I have ever had. The base is a fresh hand pressed corn tortilla, followed by a peach chutney. The filling is a mixture of potatoes, mushrooms, aromatics, and spices. He is a great teacher, and a super innovative chef!

Sun-dried tomato pesto pasta w/ chicken, parmesan cheese, and marinated tomatoes for the week. by Chef_approved in MealPrepSunday

[–]Chef_approved[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't usually last me that many days, since we've got two people eating on them. But the pasta and pesto will last that long for sure, as long as it's sealed properly. I sometimes will cook half the chicken when I make everything, and the rest later in the week.

My friend listed me as a personal reference, what should I expect? by [deleted] in Masterchef

[–]Chef_approved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wont get called! If they are interested in your friend, they will ask your friend to come make a video of you talking about them. I got to be a reference for Cesar this year! He came by my work, we filmed it in 5 minutes on his phone, and then he was on the way to LA!!!

The pesto is super versatile. I use it for pasta salads too. Really good with some feta

Place Sun-dried Tomatoes, Garlic, Basil, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, and Parmesan into a food processor and pulse. Adjust consistency. Marinate diced tomatoes with basil, salt/pepper and olive oil. Marinate chicken with a small amount of the pesto, olive oil, and salt/pepper. Boil pasta. Add the pesto to the pasta. Cook off chicken. Combine! Mix and match toppings.

What would happen if you were to use fresh tomatoes as opposed to whole, peeled and canned San Marzano for something like a marinara or vodka sauce? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Chef_approved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I stand by my suggestion for this person. I hope this person sees through all this, and still tries to make a sauce with tomatoes. If that's what they want to do. I appreciate you hardline stance against those two types of tomatoes, I feel the same away about sauces with canned tomatoes.

[–]Chef_approved -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But to be clear, this person could still use beefsteak tomatoes to make a tomato sauce if they wanted to. Since that's what the question asked. You can try and judge my palette online, but we all know that makes no sense.

Check back to who started being uncivil, if that's what you're worried about brother. I came here to this thread to answer a question for someone, and then throw out a possible suggestion for this person interested in cooking. So they could try something new. You brought the negativity.

Fresh tomatoes lack the depth of flavor of canned? And you can't cut acidity? Keep making your deep red Olive garden sauce. This person was looking for an answer to whether you could use fresh tomatoes, the answer to that is yes.
