This week she focuses on three local chefs who are creating videos showcasing tips and techniques to further enhance the art of home cooking for celebrations, recovery from illness, and more. If you are looking for free kitchen games, the best games are here.
Victoriano Lopez
Lopez is the longtime executive chef of San Francisco's waterfront Peruvian restaurant La Mar (Pier 1 1/2 The Embarcadero N, SF) and is one of the city's culinary treasures. He has about 49,000 followers on his Instagram and millions of views on YouTube, but I still think he deserves far more attention and offline support than the Bay Area. is thinking.
He shares the exact recipe for empanada dough in the first video above, so you can learn how to make it at home. Remix the content with your own ideas or watch the second video to learn how to prepare Artie Chalk for filling. We love being around him and seeing a very smiling dog who takes a taste and offers to help.
Lopez also has a great YouTube channel called La Cocina de Victoriano, which has several approachable cooking videos in Spanish with bilingual text information.
His most popular education so far is his Cebiche Perano video, which has 4.4 million views. Make it at home or pack up your belly and head to the bar in La Mar to sample his creations.
Kathy Fang
Even before Fang Restaurant (660 Howard Street, SF) and House of Nanking's (919 Kearny Street, SF) opened, chef Kathy Fang appeared on her own Food Network show, “Fang Restaurant.” Chef Dynasty: House of Fang She and her father, Peter Fang, regularly shared on social media the techniques and ideas they use when cooking for their family at home.
Just as watching Lopez taught me ideas and general preparation skills in the kitchen, I learned a lot personally from watching Fang post about her cooking at home on Instagram. I learned. Her latest inspiration comes from her videos where she makes soup and porridge to strengthen her body while trying to recover from bad weather. Fans, who especially have a good social following from her parents, have seen how her young children basically make her a “rush cook” and how she often eats with her children's leftovers. I often tease him about being there.
Unlike some executive chefs or chef/owners, these are chefs who are actually always seen as the heartbeat of the kitchen. So you might actually meet or meet your new culinary mentor when you dine with them.
