Kinda defeats the purpose. For a ox cheek stew I swapped wine with cider and it tasted great and was way cheaper

>> No.20480555

I used to cook for a Mormon family and didn't use wine when preparing things for them so I used filtered "cider" (basically tart apple juice). Worked well.

Sort of. I worked as a personal cook but not in-house. Glorified take out, really. I'd prepare food, go to their place, let myself in and put it in their fridge with heating instructions.
That's actually what most personal cooks do rather than being an on-call cook preparing everything to order on a moment's notice.
It's kind of like how everyone thinks flying private means you're, like, super rich but private jets are basically just party buses in the sky and can be quite affordable. Owning one/having one on-call is what's expensive.

Yeah I know what it means. But wine I'd drink is still £10. Defeats the point of buying cheap cuts of meat if the money saved is spent on the wine. Also who uses cooking wine anyway? When has a recipe said "yeah, use cooking wine, it's fineeee". Never. Besides, you shouldn't cook with wine you wouldn't drink

>Are you trained in anyway, culinary school or anything like that?
Not really. Been cooking since I was literally a toddler, though. 3 years old is toddler-age, right? The way I got started was because of church-stuff. I was exploring other religions, landed at a Mormon Church for a bit and they had potlucks once a month. The branch president (Mormon version of a bishop) and his family were impressed by my cooking after a time, so he asked if I'd like to cook for the family regularly. I told him I'd look into the details of doing this for a job and get back to him and I found out all about it and so on. They gave me recs I used to get other clients who have me recs, as well.
I'd previously worked as a baker and owned my own little sandwich shop/cafe cart thing
>What kind of stuff would you cook?
My specialties are Italian, Hungarian and Straits Chinese since those are what I grew up with at home but I can cook lots of things from other cuisines, too.
>Seems weird to me to have a person cook for you but it's stuff you have to reheat
Never really thought about it like that. It's basically like catering. If you've ever been to a catered even that had chaffing trays, you had food cooked elsewhere and reheated.

That makes more sense. Like if they needed a big dinner for guests less so for just the average night

A "good wine" is only $15-20, and it's about as expensive as the meat you are using most of the time. It's way better than the shit "cooking wine" they sell for half price at the grocery. Personally, I just recycle wine that I am trying to see if I like through cooking. Better than throwing it away. If you want a cheaper solution - use liquor. You can use less (a shot or two, aka a splash) and it adds just as much flavor.

>>20481039
Their vinegar certainly seems to be better by a bit. But it is probably more that they just put up with it rather than it being "better".

>> No.20481277

>>20481039
Just searched it up. Turns out yes, it is actually better. Here's why: shaoxing cooking wine is 18-25% alcohol depending on brand. US based cooking wine is <6% alcohol, and is deliberately shit to circumvent US alcohol laws (because US is stupid). That means using the former actually extracts more alcohol soluble flavors than the latter, and is why everyone avoids US cooking wines in favor of real wine. Because real wine has actual alcohol in it, and enough to perform the job of extracting alcohol soluble flavors out.

Haha, charters (both planes and yachts) are pretty expensive for the pleb, but it's not bad for the richfag. Poorfags are used to triple digit prices, not quad+ digit prices.

Well, I cooked for them fairly regularly, not for special events. The wife liked to cook on holidays but with help from church ladies, who combined all their families together into one, big thingy.

And renting a day car is cheaper than a party bus and driver. But you can split the cost by as many people as are traveling since both party buses and chartered/private flights charge per hour, not per guest. Again: not as much as you'd think.

If you didn't know, you can get good wine in the $10-20 range. It isn't like wine needs to cost $50 to taste good.

I can cook very well thank you. I can recreate a recipe by just tasting the food. been cooking since I was 8. I can cook mexican, italian, german and others.

I don't like the taste wine (good or otherwise) imparts in to food.

Actually the problem is that whiteoids don't know how to purchase produce any more.

I spent 300 on food this week, it came in a truck. Kilos of dry goods, dry aged meat, casks of wine, bags of spices, yum.
Buying from the shelf is what beggars do, people who live hand to month not knowing where their next dollars will come from, unable to plan financially.
