Upon arrival at the CulinaryOn studio, we were welcomed with some canapés and drinks to warm our tummies before we embark on our learning journey.
We were also provided with our own aprons for the cooking lesson afterwards.
Let the Cooking Fun begin with CulinaryOn!
After a brief tour session of the CulinaryOn cooking studio, we settled down by the counter area to prepare our ingredients for our 3 dishes later. And the steps include skinning the potatoes, dicing the monkfish etc etc.
Chef Daniel gave us a briefing on the dishes that we are to prepare and also showed us a photo of a Monkfish.

Recipe 3: Chocolate Lava Cake (Serves 4)
Chocolate Lava Cake with Italian Gelato
Ingredients:
Dark Chocolate – 160 g
Butter – 160 g
Sugar – 80 g
Eggs – 4 pcs
Wheat Flour – 40 g
Butter – 20 g
Topping – To Taste
Ice-Cream – To Taste
Powdered Sugar – To Taste
Step 1: Combine Chocolate & Butter in a bain marie. Turn on medium heat & heat the mixture, stirring constantly until it is melted & fully combined. The bottom of the bowl with chocolate shouldn’t touch the water.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs & Sugar in a separate bowl. Then add flour and whisk to combine so there are no lumps.
Step 3: Combine the Warm Chocolate & Egg Mixtures together.
Step 4: Brush the Baking Molds with Soft Butter throughly.
Step 5: Distribute the mixture between the molds evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven, 180 degrees. Drizzle some topping on a plate, put the tortino on top, dust it with powdered sugar and serve with some ice-cream on the side.
Recipe 4: Italian Gelato (Serves 4)
Italian Gelato
Ingredients:
Heavy Cream – 200 ml
Eggs – 2 pcs
Sugar – 50 g
Fruit Puree – 50 g
Strawberry – 50 g
Mint – 1 sprig
Step 1: Carefully separate Egg Yolk & Egg Whites. Whisk the yolks with sugar and set aside. In a clean bowl whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until the soft peaks form. To determine if the egg whites reached the desired stage, turn the whisk upside down – if the tip formed by the egg whites is stiff, it’s the stiff peaks. If the tip folds on the side, it’s soft peaks.
Step 2: In a separate bowl whisk the cream until the soft peaks form. You’ll get better results if the cream is cold.
Step 3: Gradually combine the yolk mixture with the whipped cream. Then combine it with the egg whites. Do it very gently in order not to knock out the air.
Step 4: If you’re using Frozen Fruit Puree, melt it and let cool. Add the puree into the egg mixture & stir. Transfer the mixture into a container & refrigerate (you can portion it to smaller servicing so it takes lesser time to set). Serve with Fresh Mint Leaves & Strawberry.
Liquid Nitrogen was added into the mixture to speed up the cooling process – hence to refrigerating was required and we get to enjoy our vanilla ice-cream almost instantaneously!
We had great fun learning how to cook as total beginners and thanks again to Jonathan, Chef Daniel & assistants from CulinaryOn for having us!
