Private Chefs dread the unexpected guests. I call them the 7:30 hungry men.

7:30 pm is the time at which they show up unannounced expecting the four Star treatment. They want food, they want it fast and they want it good!

Let me tell you friends, those extreme moments are so crucial that how you react to them could determine your next pay raise, and in the life of a broke blogger/chef who wasted money in some bad business investment it could mean life or death. But don’t feel bad for me people!… and remember my words of wisdom: When faking fine cooking, you have to fake it fast!

Over the years, i have developed life jacket’s recipes with ingredients found only in my refrigerator door. I am a trooper and will fight the fight until every jars in my fridge runs dry. Here’s one of my life saver, if you have two hands and motor skills of a 2 years old it shouldn’t take you more than 30 seconds to prepare this one…and the results are fantastic! Don’t be put off by the simplicity and un-coolness of the ingredients , this is my favorite steak sauce in the whole world and it goes wonderfully with a crisp chicken as well. Seriously. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
