I’m sure everyone is aware of this, but it still amazes me how much the price of a whole fish can fluctuate, especially with the big head of the John Dory in that video.

@mrniland does an excellent job teaching how to utilise the whole fish. From noodles made with fish bones to ice cream featuring the eyeballs, Josh is such a brilliant chef, and I admire the way he shares his knowledge with the world, educating and inspiring others.

Thoughts???

Chefs in the 90s: Tough, no-nonsense, and all about pushing boundaries. Chefs today: More about balance, collaboration, and mental well-being. The kitchen culture has evolved, but one thing remains the same: the passion for great food.

Bergamot season is super short, and it’s one of those ingredients that teaches you how aroma changes a dish. Think floral, not just sour. Use the zest lightly and see how it lifts whatever you’re cooking.

And if you’re in Queensland, reach out to @suncoast_fresh & @graemetwine and get onto it while it’s here.

The price on the jar isn’t always the real cost of the ingredient. When you’re costing olives, it’s the drained weight that matters.. not the brine.

Little details like this can completely change the real cost of your recipes and before you pour the brine down the sink... Try using it. It’s packed with flavour and works brilliantly in dressings, marinades, cocktails, or even to cook tapioca for crispy olive crackers.

Less waste. More flavour. Better margins.

Bananas are one of the most eaten fruits on the planet, with billions consumed every year. But from a chef’s perspective, there’s something just as important as how many we eat...

How much of the banana are we actually using?

The peel might not end up on the plate, but it still ends up on the invoice. Understanding yield and wastage is one of the easiest ways to improve your recipe costing and protect your margins.

Because in hospitality, it’s the little details that make the biggest difference.

Try Chef Notepad for FREE today to account your wastage in your recipes.

That little Parmesan rind might not seem like much…

But it changes the real cost of every gram of cheese you serve.

It’s the small details that make the biggest difference to your food cost.

The price on the invoice isn’t always the real cost of the product.

With prosciutto, you lose weight trimming the skin and fat, and you’ll always have sections that are too sinewy to slice properly.

That’s why the cost of the slices you’re actually serving can be much higher than the price you paid per kilo.

It’s little details like this that quietly eat away at your food cost.

The price on the invoice isn’t always the real cost of an ingredient.

Once you factor in trimming, peel, seeds or any other wastage, the usable product can cost a lot more than you think. Understanding those little details is what separates guessing from knowing your food cost. Because small percentage differences across your menu can add up to thousands over a year.

Most chefs cost the potatoes. Not enough chefs cost the oil.

It might not seem like much, but when you’re changing fryer oil week after week, month after month, it adds up fast.

Food cost isn’t usually blown out by one big mistake.
It’s the little things that get overlooked every day.

Are you costing your fryer oil?

An extra 30g on a steak might not seem like much… but that “little” slip can cost you $32,000 a year.

Chefs, know your numbers, it’s the difference between busy and profitable.
