Page 5 - Whats The Vibe By Chef Bruja

Int oductio

Let me define the definition of “Chef Bruja.’ I’m not a chef. I know you’re like,

this girl is calling herself a chef, and she's not even teaching you how to make

bread from scratch or cheese in your home. So actual chefs will probably be up-

set about this. Yeah, nope, I'm not, honestly. I'm not a chef. I stemmed from my

other business name by "By Bruja. "Therefore, everything by me, from me. Al-

most just like what I'm providing here, but with food. I will not be teaching you

how to be a chef, so I'm sorry about that. This book merely provides you with

the essential skills while using the basic things you have in your home and

making a great meal with them.

You will not need any fancy egg cutters or an electric food mixer. As crazy as it

gets in this book is a blender and a cheese grater. Oh, and a cast iron, because

everyone needs a cast iron. "What's The Vibe" is for the experienced and the

non-experienced cook in the kitchen. Giving you a new and fun spin on your al-

ready loved, traditional dishes and new sponta- neous ones you haven't thought

of yet. I made this book to be accessible as it can be for you. I should've called it

cooking for dummies, but that wouldn't have been as approaching or tasteful.

No, but seriously, use things you already have or are easy to get, and under 2

hours of cooking. In this book, we want to respect our ancestors and how they

grew up cooking these dishes, yes, but come on. It's 2021. We don't need to do

everything grandma taught us from the '50s and '60s but use what they taught

you and us as a foundation of the many things we will be cooking.

Cooking has given me another outlet to be myself. Cooking is the only thing that

keeps me present, honestly. My mind is racing 95% of the time, but when I'm

cooking, I'm just cook- ing. That presentness has allowed me to experiment and

flourish in my cooking. And I want to do the same for you. I am merely just pro-

viding you with a foundation for your cooking journey. I want you to get cre-

ative, and I want you to experiment with your taste buds and broaden your

horizons. Please do not listen to EVERY word I say. I'm not a genius. Use your

intuition when it comes to these recipes. If you feel like, "Hey, I don't want to

add this lemon and make my food zesty, I want to add cajun seasoning or hot

sauce to spice it up. "I'm here to tell you, boo, DO IT. Remember, the kitchen is

your portal. You make it as simple or spicy as you want it to be.

Now don't get me wrong, everything you make from scratch tastes better. Just

like having anything fresh always taste better. But let us be honest. Many of us

are not trying to cook an extensive meal after a long day of work. But I will be

showing you how to make some of my favorite sauces and condiments from

scratch that takes your food to the next level. So before we enter the rest of this

experience, have fun, loosen up, and make some bomb-ass food.
