Welcome friends, to the recipes of the Un-Chef.
I am a boy: one half ex-barista, the other half musician. Creating things is a passion of mine and I’ve decided that food should not be an exception. This blog is designed for others like me who are absolute simpletons in the kitchen. Together, we can overcome the hurdles technical “flavor profiles” and conventional cooking place in our way and truly experience taste bud bliss.
Each week, I will take you on a magical journey that will include explosions of flavor so intense they will leave many of you ecstatic with delight. Others, however, will not be so lucky. When they try to recreate these tasty masterpieces, they will weep with despair as their stomach refuses to accept the burnt offering they present.
Alright. Perhaps I’m exaggerating a little. Or a lot more than a little. Perhaps none of you will even continue reading this blog after I reveal some of the secret recipes that have changed my life including the following delicacies:
-Starbucks Hot Chocolate Powdered Fresh Popcorn
-Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Chicken
-Soy Sauce Mozzarella Scrambled Eggs
-Bacon & Cheddar Infused Hamburger
If you’re all smart kids and paying close attention, you most likely noticed one of the dishes listed does not quite sound as fantastic as the others. If you caught on, good job! That is certainly NOT one of my proudest culinary memories. If you didn’t catch it, you will definitely enjoy this food blog much more than others.
I cannot guarantee every dish I present will look presentable, smell divine, or even taste like food. Nevertheless, I can guarantee that there will be some fantastic flavor combinations and everything I make will either prove to be a fabulous hit or something you know to avoid the next time you visit your Great Grandma Sally’s house for Sunday brunch.
But in all seriousness, I warn you:
From here on out, create these masterpieces at your own risk.

So, where are the recipes? Did I guess correctly? Is the dish that is the least fantastic the Starbucks Hot Cocolate Poweedered Fresh Popcorn? I need to know because I don’t want to waste my Hot Coco Powder or popcorn.
Can I leave advice or recipes on your site?

I’m guessing it was the eggs.

Way to go un-chef! I look forward to your interesting culinary experiments.

Definitely the eggs…number one thing I have always found with experimental cooking is that some ethnic flavors don’t mix (Italian mozzarella/Asian soy sauce).
