With the holidays around the corner, many families find themselves balancing tradition with culinary adventures. Often, these experiments can lead to disaster—especially when amateur chefs try out trendy recipes from TikTok. Instead of taking that risk, why not check out some reliable tips from the experts?
Chef Brian Quinn from MATC Culinary Arts has created two helpful videos that can make your holiday cooking smoother. He shares his expert advice on how to prepare a prime rib and how to carve a turkey—the essentials that any holiday meal needs.
In his videos, Chef Quinn breaks down the process of preparing a standing rib roast. He explains how to trim the fat, season the meat, and tie it with butcher twine for perfect cooking. If turkey is more your style, he shows you how to slice it properly and present it beautifully on the table. These valuable skills will impress your guests and ensure everyone knows what parts they’re enjoying.
These helpful insights come from MATC’s how-to series, where skilled instructors share tips on essential cooking tasks. The goal is not just to make your meal a success but to encourage viewers to think about exploring culinary courses at MATC.
Cooking well is more important than ever. According to a recent survey by the National Restaurant Association, home cooking surged during the pandemic, with 60% of people trying new recipes. Skills like those taught by Chef Quinn can elevate our home dining experiences.
So, before you risk your holiday feast on the latest fad, take a moment to learn from the pros. You’ll be glad you did!
