Description
🔗 The only cookbook you'll ever need to cook like a professional chef — every technique, every cut, every trick from 35 years in professional kitchens, all in one place: https://chefdorothy.store
I spent 35 years in professional kitchens. In that time I learned exactly what separates a smart grocery run from an expensive mistake — and Costco is full of both. In this video I'm going through the 10 things I never buy there, why each one costs you more than you think, and what to do instead. Number one will surprise you.
✅ What you'll learn:
Why pre-marinated meats are almost always an inferior cut in disguise
The spice jug trap that silently ruins your cooking over time
Pre-shredded cheese and why it won't melt properly (and what's inside it)
The one Costco item that's actually a brilliant buy — if you use it right
