Hey, everyone. Marty here. Chefmartyrich.com. I’ve got another quick story for you from the front porch. A few days ago I had one of my neighbors come over and she was having an anniversary party and she wanted to get a recipe for dinner rolls. So I ran upstairs to the computer, Googled dinner rolls, and got an easy dinner rolls recipe. I gave it to her and she said, “I can take it from here.” So I said, “Cool”.

Well, last night she called and said, “I don’t know what happened but the dinner rolls didn’t come out right”. So I said, “Okay take me through step by step and we will see if we can figure this out”.

So she said, “I took the yeast and put it into the boiling water.” And I said, “Whoop, time out, time out, time out. There is your problem straight away”. It wasn’t 5 seconds into the conversation and here’s your problem. You killed the yeast. Yeast cannot stand temperatures over 120 degrees. This is another good reason to have an instant read thermometer in your kitchen. We will cover that in another video.

This is a perfect illustration of why I created the Recipe Rebel. And the Rebel stands for Read Between the Lines. A lot of recipes don’t have all the information that you need to execute it correctly. So if you ever have a problem with a recipe and you can’t understand what happened, it didn’t really come out the way you thought it was going to, save it. Save the dish, save the recipe. Contact me. Let’s go back through the recipe and see what happened. A lot of times I can figure it out. Not every time, but a lot of the time I can identify what was left out of the recipe that you really probably needed to know to have a great result.

Look down at the bottom left of this corner and join our community. Send me your questions. Send me your problem recipes and let’s work it out. We can figure this out. Maybe I will do a video just for you.

Keep coming back. I have a new tip every day. Thanks.
