Food Videos

I love to watch food videos on TikTok & Instagram. Facebook also has some good food videos. And You Tube. People are so creative with food!

I am pretty much a self-taught cook.

I watched my mom cook but did not really learn much from her about the proper technique in regard to making certain foods. Standing at her elbow I saw the way she just knew what spices to use and how much. When I was moving out of our family home I wrote down how to make the things we ate regularly. But I needed skills which I picked up over the years. A friend of mine who lived in Yellowknife when we lived there taught me so much! I also learnt a lot when I was younger from watching food shows on TV, especially The Galloping Gourmet from many years ago & Martha Stewart! Now I mostly watch cooking on social media!

I appreciate all the food experts and home cooks on the socials showing how to prepare food! I find it so interesting that people come up with new ways to peel an onion or a carrot! I like some of these tips. I try some of them but I realize that I also like to do things the way I always have!

One tip I use all the time now is when there is leftover oil from cooking that needs to be discarded (I used to use an old tin to pour the oil in or some other receptacle to put the oil in for the garbage). Oil can not go down the sink drain. The great tip I saw on TikTok… Put some foil into the sink drain hole with some over the edge of the drain hole so you will be able to gather it up. Pour the oil into the foil Let it cool then gather up the edges of the foil capturing all of the oil, close the foil into a ball then toss into the garbage!

I do have a page on TikTok if you are on there. Here is a link to that!* I hope this link works! My user name is mtg459183. I have some of my own tips on there!

I have 5 recipes on the blog that I have made from TikTok I have changed them a bit but these are really good!
