Oh man, I don’t even know where to begin. I’m so exhausted right now and the whole day/night seems like a blur. I arrived at 8:45 A.M. and left at 10:30 P.M. with a two and half hour break in the middle. But, I made it through and I think I did pretty good considering it was my first day and my French is “de la merde”.
What I’m most happy about is that I got to cook in the kitchen tonight – granted it was just the amuse bouche’s (there’s many of them at Guy Savoy) and the restaurant’s signature soup: artichoke purée with shaved parmesan and truffles. Nonetheless, I got to be up there with the best of them, getting yelled at like the rest of them. (Maybe it’s a good thing I can’t understand everything)
I’m sorry, but I have to go bed because my eyelids are dropping. I have so much to tell….a demain….

the food sounds great and that’s so cool you got to cook!! hope you got a good rest. i can’t wait to hear more!
xoxo
so glad for you!
wondering what food you guys eat during the long lunch break, eat out or eat in? I know some european trainees just smoke through the whole pack of cigarettes at the backalley.
Thanks Nat and Chaxiubao! We do get fed on the job – lunch and dinner. Both were lasagna type dishes with bechamel cream sauce baked with cheese on top. Fat city. I did manage to nibble a little truffle shaving when no one was looking…hee, hee 😉
Off to work!
Congratulations on finishing your first day! It sounds so exciting — I love that you ate there and that the staff recognized you. A great way to start your time at Guy Savoy!
Hope all is well!
Hi!!! I am so excited for you! I am just glad they didn’t make you cut peas all day long!
