So, I'm currently half way through level 2 and things are on the up and up. I'm getting used to the kitchen, cooking, standing and being hot lol but I LOVE IT ALL!!!!
The beginning of Level 2 we cooked a couple of things, chicken, beef stew...perfecting technique...then we had a lesson that took a turn for the worst....ORGAN MEATS!!!...Liver, Kidney, tongue, sweet breads (google it) lol yea...quite interested and disgusting...not my cup of tea...but the main point is for me to know how to cook it, if a customer wants it, I have to give them what they WANT...
fried sweet breads on top of creamy polenta (i make them look tasty huh)
After that, things got sweeter, literally,I've been doing pastry for the past couple of weeks....cakes, pies, tarts, doughs, ice cream, sorbet, souffle, moose....EVERYTHING AND MORE...here are some pics
