gourmet cooking recipe videos
may be compared to haute
couture or avant-garde in
fashion. Simply put cooking
video recipes, it pertains to food
that uses high-quality materials
and prepared with much more
care and precision as regular
cookery. Naturally, this also
connotes expensive ingredients,
fancy presentation and an
overall fine dining experience
this is usually reserved for special
occasions.
During special occasions, many vegan connoisseurs are excited to showcase
their advance techniques like dehydration and fancy ingredients like flower
essences, exotic oils, and exorbitantly priced spices like saffron. These alone are
enough to impress even those who are not vegetarian. In gourmet cuisine, simplicity
takes a back seat and the sky’s the limit in creating an unforgettable gustatory
delight. With vegan food though, sometimes the ingredients alone are enough to
create a lasting impression.
As motivations for turning to a vegan lifestyle vary from health, religious,
cultural or ethical reasons, the range of culinary creations also encompass a gamut
of dishes from the expected vegetable and fruit salads to the exotic dish made with
seaweed, mosses and even algae. In a looser definition, unusual ingredients
presented in a unique fashion can perhaps be considered as gourmet. A spirulina
smoothie or an cheesecake made with Irish moss may be viewed by some as such
while others will classify this under the exotic food category. Professional chefs may
also disagree on this as their definition of gourmet is stricter based on their years of
culinary education and experience.
It’s not uncommon for creative chef to decorate a salad with edible flowers;
deepen the flavor of a soup, spread and pasta with exotic mushrooms and truffle oil;
or use aromatic botanical essences in desserts and beverages. This can be
considered gourmet in some aspects.
Organic produce, usually though just simple fruits and vegetables, is priced
much much more than conventional produce. As such, these are prepared with
more care to retain their nutrients and showcase their fresh taste. Presentation of the
final dish is also carefully considered to be able to give recognition to the care
farmers have grown it.
A vegan lifestyle’s diet is immensely healthy as long as it is prepared correctly
and sustainably. Nutrition may not necessarily be the top priority when coming up
with gourmet food. However, as vegan cuisine’s pantry is stocked up with fiber-rich,
nutrient-dense ingredients, sometimes it cannot be helped that any dish that comes
out of the kitchen full of healthy wholesome goodness.
