Chef's Notes

Walnuts go from toasted to burnt in seconds — keep a close eye on them and pull them the moment they're fragrant. If you'd like to go deeper, Stock Making Fundamentals covers this in full.

If you'd ever like hands-on guidance for your own kitchen or restaurant, I also offer 1-on-1 coaching through OCS, or you can reach me directly for consulting at 911ChefEric.com.
