Ikura, or salmon roe, always tastes delicious topped off with a raw quail egg yoke. Ikura can be ordered by itself but I highly recommend the quail egg to offset the sharp saltiness of the roe. The creamy egg yoke absorbs the salt and adds a mild layer of flavor, especially when the individual roe pop open during chewing. As they pop open, they release more heavenly, salty and oceanic flavor; nothing tastes quite like it. |

Culinary class has never been this difficult. As an aspiring chef, I have to learn the ropes of what makes a great meal. I do not know when, but ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to be a chef on deck. For me to achieve that dream, I have to be able to learn and prepare a number of dishes. However, as I have said, with the emergence of new dishes, it has become really hard to be able to cook everything.

Way to go for following your dreams and going to culinary school to become a chef. I agree that it must hard to be able to cook everything, especially with the foodie trend of using nontraditional ingredients that do not always work together. I say focus on learning what you can but stick to mastering basics once you become a chef. Good luck!
