I can’t be certain, but I’m pretty sure the only reason I liked making mashed potatoes was because I got to play with a power tool: the kitchen aid hand mixer.

Kobe-Tuna surf & turf
Mashed potatoes with the lamb
Langoustines
Lobsters
about 40 kinds of sauces…

Due to the fact that I’ve been working 6 days a week I haven’t had a lot of time to actually cook at home and post recipes. I was wondering if people would be disappointed or not – so thanks for this!
Smarty Pants – I was hired to start on Garde Manger (like everyone who gets hired at the restaurant) and worked there for two months but now I’m moving all over the place! I learned a lot on Fish Pass and I would love the opportunity to work the station longer so that I really get the experience of breaking down fish and accounting for the rotation of fish at the restaurant. But, all the same, my hands are happy for the break….
La Loutre – You’re the famous chef. Not me!
Luis – Ah, the weeds continue to grow…thanks for all your encouragement et Gros Bisous!!!
Chef M.T. – You’re absolutely right. Some day I hope to rock sauté like you – you are an amazing chef!!!

I worked for awhile as an assistant to a brilliant young woman who had trained in Switzerland, in the executive dining rooms of Barclay’s Bank in London. I think you have to be crazy and young to want to be a chef- but if you have it, the rush is incredible when it goes right. Good luck. I adore reading these accounts of your progress.
