Especially if we take into account that the most renowned chefs from all over the world (namely, China, Japan, Italy, France, Thailand and others) have given their consent to train you and other contestants and reveal the secrets of their national cuisines. A great chance to learn for a young aspiring student, not to mention the opportunity to win $1,000,000 and start your own restaurant, don’t you think? So, meet your first instructor and start cooking! The game play is mostly taken from the first Cooking Academy, though it’s better balanced now and some new exciting tasks are added. The game is divided into stages organized by countries, and in each national cuisines you’ll have a bunch of exotic dishes to practice, and then you can take exams in order to proceed to the next country and its peculiarities. You choose which dishes to try first, and you can replay any recipe at any moment in order to get a better score. First that you get for every dish is its history, tradition of serving and other interesting facts about what you are going to cook. Then you can proceed to the cooking itself, step by step. And here the diversity of tasks is amazing, and surely enough not to make you bored. Though you only use your mouse, the tasks will require both speed and accuracy, as you need to fulfill a certain number of actions within a tough time limit and in a given sequence. You will dice and slice all possible types of food using your mouse for directing the knife, then you’ll add ingredients in a correct order (the visual clues may be a bit confusing sometimes, so the tasks can become really challenging), stir and grate, fold fortune cookies and break eggs under an absolutely correct angle and with absolutely precise strength, set temperature and watch you buns, for example, turn golden brown and not a shade darker. Most of the tasks will require your complete attention and perfect timing, so sometimes you’ll really need to replay certain steps in order to get enough stars to proceed (stars are used for evaluating your hard work - and the judges are strict, I should say). The graphics are great - nothing more to say, you have to see it by your own eyes. And the music, changing from stage to stage to match the national environment, creates a nice background. So, if you are ready to test your culinary skills and maybe even find something to use in your everyday kitchen life - it’s time to attend Cooking Academy 2: World Cuisine!

Getting Cookware For Your Cooking Needs
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on October 31st, 2009
Kitchenware is always a rather contentious issue. I have seen chefs turn up to perform the simplest of cooking jobs more than it takes to keep your average oil tanker (though maybe not the best use of your battery kitchen), when all that was needed was a knife and something to sharpen with. What are the "true Cookware Essentials", the things that really can not do without? Surprisingly, although really only need a very small amount of things to get going. Probably much less than they already have. All cooking utensils you need is a good knife, a means of sharpening a cutting board and a couple of pots. You may prefer a bit more cookware but you can cook with it. Do not get me wrong, I'm as partial to a kitchen full of mixers, appliances and various useful gadgets, as well as the next person. But although the quality of Cookware good price, (if possible) like grinders and blenders give you many more possibilities there are many things you can cook without them, but a good knife or three, is absolutely essential. Kitchen Utensils The first and most essential need is a knife that's as big as you feel comfortable, an 8-inch knife with a blade that curves slightly to allow a rocking motion is a good start, then a small knife, about 4 inches, for cutting small vegetables and a carving knife. If you buy one of about 10 inches long can also use a bread knife. Although there is no point buying extra knives to fill the pockets of the largest manufacturers of kitchen eequipment. A game can actually be a fairly good value and gives you more for a similar amount of money. However, check carefully what is in the first set. If you can not find a package with what you think will be useful to you, do not buy it. Sets come with extras like a case or wooden knife, by category, but try to see beyond the gifts. It's much better to have a few good knives in the drawer of a block of fancy polished beech wood design with knives fifteen years, fourteen of which is not used and that does not fit your hand and gives you blisters . I have a game, not too expensive small Sabatier French are not so comfortable but stylish look of some of the most popular Japanese GLOBALS the fact that I found very clear what makes cutting a lot of vegetables, for example, work much more. If you learn to use wisely as steel or the grinding stone is a good way to keep your knives sharp, otherwise it is a good choice of the size of owners who hold the knife at the correct angle while you pull through sharpener. Pans must be of good quality, nothing on top, without spending a fortune. Make sure they are of sound construction. This promotes even heat distribution and helps to keep things on fire. Stainless steel is a good option. A good wok on the other should be thick steel and very cheap, but always check that you have a good well-fixed wooden handle. The best place to buy this most useful kitchen is (perhaps unsurprisingly) usually the local Chinese supermarkets. A good chopping board is another necessity that two are better than one, because it helps prevent cross contamination if you designate one for uncooked meats / fish etc and another for things like fruit and salads. No matter how much you think you will always be careful and wash between uses this is the best way to prevent cross-contamination. Mixers can be useful if you do much cooking. But unless you make bread on a regular basis (always a good idea), then purchase a hand, simple quality instead of a stand mixer heavy standalone version that can save you hundreds of dollars and lots of space in its counter. A blender is always useful for soups and the occasional smoothie, and a grinder will give you many more options in the use of nuts, etc and also provide a constant supply of fresh coffee for the more manic cook. A good way to combine the functions of the three is to buy a food processor. A good quality machine or a Moulinex food processor to save space and allow you to buy a better processor than if you bought there items separately. There is an almost endless list of kitchen equipment can be purchased (in case of doubt in your local grocer and ask the owner what he thinks you need!), But make sure you have the right tools essential for good quality cuisine and the cuisine will be easier and more enjoyable.
