One major factor in controlling food borne pathogens is cooking at a proper temperature. Microorganisms can cause serious illness. Food poisoning is not fun to go through. Many people will be ill for a few days and recover but for some people, food poisoning can lead to long term health problems, hospitalization and even death. These food microorganisms like bacteria will grow slowly at low temperatures and multiply rapidly in mid-range temperatures. The bacteria is only killed when cooked at high temperatures.

Let's talk about steak- a piece of meat which we get from the plump part of a bull, cow, ox - any animal that gives us beef. Neither too fat, nor too lean- that is what makes the perfect steak! Better yet, there are different types of steak to choose from. The basic difference is that a piece of steak either has a bone or is boneless. Also, to get the best out of any kind of steak, you should season it. By seasoning we mean that before cooking, you should sprinkle some salt and pepper on your meat to enhance its natural flavour.
For the various steaks, the type of cooking also matters. You can either cook them 'blue', 'rare', 'medium-rare', 'medium' or 'well cooked'.
Sirloin Steak: The sirloin comprises of both a tender and a tough part. The soft part comes from the lions, while the hard part comes from a section of the back. Recommended ingredients for seasoning this steak include olive oil, pepper and a pinch of salt.
T-Bone: It is derived from cutting through the short loin and sold along with bone. The T-Bone has two kinds of steak in it: tenderloin and sirloin. The time for medium-rare is around 7 minutes for one side, and 4 minutes for the other.
Bavette: Also known as the flank steak, this steak is derived from the lower chest area or the abdominal muscles. It is long, flat in shape and kind of rough, just like Onglet. The word 'Bavette' is actually French, given by French chefs to this kind of steak. For rare, each side takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
Fillet: This kind of steak is also known as tenderloin. It's boneless and is the most expensive one in the stock. It has a very buttery flavour. For medium rare, each side should be cooked for around 4 minutes.
Rib-Eye: The rib-eye is available in both bone and boneless forms. These are very juicy in taste, as they comprise a lot of fat. It comes from the upper ribcage. Around 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare.
Rump: The rump steak is better served when both its sides are seasoned well enough with salt. If you want to serve rare rump steak, the cooking time is around 2-3 minutes. An additional minute will make it well cooked. The rump comes from the top half portion of the carcass.
Onglet: The name 'Onglet' is also French and in English, this kind of steak is better known as the 'Hanger' steak. It is juicy, V-shaped and tougher than other forms. 1-2 minutes for blue.
What are dishes if you are not able to feel and taste a particular flavour? Simply put, meaningless. Even if you prefer intensity of a flavour, nonetheless achieving balance is essential for the perfect recipe. So how do you get started?
- Sour
- Bitter
- Spicy
- Salty
- Sweet
- Umami
Adding depths of flavour in any dish is important, and a particular set of ingredients that do this trick are known as 'aromatics'. These comprise of herbs, vegetables, and spices that are added in a dish right in the beginning. Of these ingredients, chilis, garlic, and onions are perhaps the most commonly used.
Spanish cheesecake this year is a real boom. More and more cafes sell San Sebastian Cheesecake, a delicious dessert. And indeed, there are Spanish references to this dessert. The history began with San Sebastian's La Viña restaurant and now it's almost the most "imitated" cake in the world.
The original recipe, of course, is still in the possession of cooks from La Viña, and they have not disclosed the identity to anyone. We recommend you do a cheesecake close at home.
