Interesting 🤔
Very good Information
The trinity is not southern, it's creole, they are NOT the same.
The French stealing again it's called soffritto and it's Italian…
What in God's name is he doing to that poor onion. Decent info.
Dude your knife work is terrible holy shit
This is well explained. I figured this out over years of just cooking. If I had learned this when I was young. Great information to share good stuff.
