Bio:

 

Jack McNulty has been involved in food and cooking most of his life. He’s walked many paths during his culinary journey, including transforming himself from an interested amateur ‘foodie’ to a professional chef with classical training. Throughout his life and career, he’s explored different food cultures, grown his own vegetables and fruit and ate a lot of meat and fish along the way. He’s been a vegetarian, carnivore, omnivore and fish-eating vegan before landing on his current lifestyle as a vegan.

 

Jack has worked for some talented and knowledgeable chefs in high-end restaurants in Switzerland, Italy and France. He’s operated his own catering business and cooking school, while finding enough time to write about cooking. Jack is currently operating his own subscription-based website providing instruction and recipes supporting a vegan life.

 

Jack has followed the OMS lifestyle since 2009. He has actively worked on providing recipes and information to the OMS website and was the contributing editor to the OMS cookbook.

 

Questions:

 

  • Are all oils bad, or are there some beneficial and healthy ones?
  • Is it OK to heat oils when cooking?
  • What happens to oils when they are heated? Does it change their properties for the worst?
  • Do all oils have a similar heat point where their properties change?
  • Is it true that you should never bake higher than 180°C (350°F) if you are using oil?
  • There are many recipes that call for fried veggies, such as onions. How do you substitute this with a healthier alternative?
  • Why can’t I cook with flaxseed oil?
  • If I cook Mediterranean food without olive oil it doesn’t taste the same. Is there anything I can do?
  • Olive oil doesn’t have the right flavor for all recipes. Are there other oils that I can use, such as rapeseed oil or hemp oil, to capture that flavor?
  • What can I use instead of butter for baking?
