  on Aug 5, 2010 in Culinary School culinary school game garde manger stocks
  Yesterday was my final in basic kitchen skills and knife skills.  Easy peasy stuff, even if the fresh tarragon really threw most of my class for a loop.  I scored well, and I believe I’m in the top three of the class on that work so far.  I&...
• Week 2 Day 4 – Enter the Kitchen
  on Jul 30, 2010 in Culinary School culinary school
  After a morning subjected to the wonders that is Culinary Math (I’m horrible in all things mathmatical and always have been), we were finally allowed to enter the “Temple”, also known as Skills Kitchen 1 and try out those shiny new...
• Week Two, Day Two: Finally a Final!
  on Jul 27, 2010 in Culinary School culinary school

• Culinary School – Day 5 / First Trip to the Restaurant
  on Jul 24, 2010 in Culinary School

  on Jun 22, 2010 in Uncategorized
