  1. Dear Chef Pardus,
    I don't know if it is because my computer is a mac but I am unable to view the crepe video. I will use another computer at the library tomorrow. To get a jump start I found a banh xeo video on youtube of the without borders guys

  2. Dear Chef Pardus,
    I was able to find a recipe from Chef Smythe for Pork Rib Marinade. Station 5 will prep this tomorrow. We will need 5 racks of spareribs (if possible) from the meat room tomorrow. Thank you.

  3. Dear Chef Pardus,
    A follow up on the crepe preparation and recipe for tomorrow. I am planning on adjusting the recipe for 96 fl. oz of coconut milk (the size of one can). Also, I am planning on adjusting the filling recipe to 2x the recipe. On your link you advise to make the crepes ahead of time and then reheat a la minute. If I am to prep them ahead of time what should my MEP for pans be? Will I need oil for this? Furthermore, I know it seems hectic, but cooking them a la minute is a challenge but more sincere to the customer. If possible may I cook them a la minute and if so I would enjoy discussing a proper plan for making this occur. Today, no one ordered this item, I would be very pleased if it was "home run" item on the menu.

  4. David - the website was created on a Mac, that's all I have at home. You can also view videos by searching mpardus on You tube.

    ribs are already in house, they came in yesterday.

    As far as ala minute - let's discuss in class. I hesitate to have you increase therecipe, it does not sell because it's Vegan and out of the ordinary. It sells during the day becaise people are used to it.

  5. Dear Chef Pardus,
    On the Registrar Class schedule, you are listed as our Chef Instructor for the duration of Cuisines of Asia. I am wondering if this is true, so as to be prepared for your class tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you this week and hope that you had a good weekend. I went to NYC for the weekend and staged at Beacon Restaurant. After work, I ate at Momofuku Noodle Bar. The kitchen atmosphere there is very exciting. It was amazing to see how quickly they are able to produce such fine food. See you tomorrow.

  6. Chef Pardus,
    For the massaman curry: can you heat the curry paste in oil (until aromatic) ahead of time and hold to the side? Or should you heat the curry paste in oil right before adding to the beef and coconut milk mixture?
    Thank you
    David
