Hi guys,
I'm an avid cooker at home. I LOVE cooking awesome dishes and trying new culinary techniques and flavors. My issue is, it's beginning to take longer and longer to find a recipe online I want to make, or even a genre of food I want to research. I know I'm good, from my palette to my technique. I'd even use the word "great", but I think that's more my ego talking. I'll put it this way, on the rare occasion I go out to a nice restaurant ($50-$60 a plate) I usually finish the dish and think to myself, that was good but I can do it better or at least just as good. I feel like I've hit a ceiling (hopefully a glass one).
Is there some treasure trove of recipes professionals go to look at? I think my next step is fusion foods but aside from experimenting all day in the kitchen, which I don't have the time or budget to do, I'm not sure how to dip my toes into that world. I'm continuously watching food shows such as ATK, Good Eats and others to get better but find them beginning to lack in education.
Like, what's something new I can do with boneless, skinless chicken breast? It's the Ford Taurus of the food world, but is quite ubiquitous and can be used in ANY genre of food, but I feel like I've tried them all. Of course I haven't, I'm just stuck with what the internet has to offer me. All the recipes online just seem too similar to something I've made before or IS something I've made before.
Thanks,
Mitch
