Toronto chefs are sharing their recipes and secrets all over Instagram
There's no better time than now to hone your kitchen skills, and luckily for us, some of Toronto's chefs are hitting IG to share what they're cooking at home during quarantine.
Impromptu cooking classes from some of the city's most well-known chefs, bakers, and pasta-makers, have begun to bombard us on social media — it's almost hard to keep up with all the free knowledge being passed around these days.
Arguably the most comprehensive resource of pure gems is the first edition of Toronto'sOpen Source Cookbookcompiled by chef and writerNick Chen-Yin.
The online cookbook features more than 100 recipes from contributors working in the kitchens of hot Toronto eateries likeEnoteca Sociale,Rosalinda,Rudy, andPatois.
How-tos run the gamut from sourdough bread from Patti Robinson ofRobinson Bread, or mason jar coffee fromSam James, or a "No Knead, No Skill Needed Square Pie With Bacon" recipe from Jesse Fader ofParis ParisandFavorites, to name a few.
It's easily my favourite resource (I prefer cookbooks to videos) with good photos and fun asides like "...please let's stop using the term 'opening up' a pizza to describe rolling out dough. You sound like an ass."
If you learn better through how-to videos, there are plenty of Instagram accounts to follow.
Tomer Markovitz, former head chef atParallel, has become a go-to account for everything from homemade polenta to challah, pad kra prao, cookies, and brunch food. Every night he posts his cooking process on to his IG story, then saves it to his highlights.

Meanwhile, wife-and-husband duo Audrey and Rob Gentile ofBucaare doing an Instagram series calledThe Saucewhere they teach you how to make all that Italian good stuff, with the option to access their recipes for free.
是很困难的not to feel kitchen envy when you see what these chefs are working with in their own homes, but at the end of the day it's a solid recipe is all you need.
