Welcome to Daniel's kitchen

Hi everyone, welcome to Daniel's kitchen, My name is Dianyu Feng,Daniel is my English name, I come from China

This was my restaurant head chef and me, we took the picture 2 years ago, it was a Thai style restaurant. Since I ran the restaurant, I knew I love cooking. I learnt to cooking Thai food in Thailand for couple of months. I really enjoy to see the clients love our food and say thank you to me, so I decided to come to GBC to learn cooking. I hope to combine the Thai style, Chinese style and western style together to create a new culinary style.

Now I am working in a small restaurant of Toronto to learn how the restaurant works in Canada.

Here are some pictures of my restaurant, first one was the welcome board with 8 different languages, it looks awesome, but I knew only the Chinese and English, maybe the others said "Do not come in this restaurant". The last picture are some dishes in the restaurant. I found many Thai restaurants in Toronto, but no one have the papaya salad. I hope someday I can cook the papaya salad for Toronto people.

Cook everything you can cook is my cooking philosophy.

This is my first time to use blog, I hope this area can be my symbol, the symbol of Daniel's cooking style.

When I learnt cooking from my head chef, he told me, the most important thing in cooking is your memory, you have to remember the flavor of the food, even you forget the recipe, you can still make the dish to their original taste.

First one is the Tom Yum Goong I made and the second is made by Rasa Malaysia(http://rasamalaysia.com/tom-yum-recipe/2/)

Rasa Malaysia is a great blog to show the southeast Asian food, most of the recipe look great, but the recipe of Tom Yum Goong is not original Thai style. Even my picture looks not so fantasy, I still have confidence that mine would taste better.

In future, I will show more about Thai food, also more food with combination of Thai,Chinese and western style.
