Mise en Place for students

Cooking lately

Recently I started working at the Cooking School I went to. I assist in the recreational classes, which mostly means I don't cook, I just get the mise en place. For the masses. I answer questions the students have, and it has given me a little more confidence as I realize I do have a lot of the answers, who knew?! Apparently experience pays off.
I have had a chance to cook in class though on occasion. I love it when I get to make dessert (of course). Here are a few shots of recent dishes..

apple crisp

potato gratin

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Apron Factory!

So great to see this warehouse!! Hedley and Bennett. Made-in-Los Angeles!! I am saving my cash to buy a chef shirt and an apron.

Chicken Marsala

Finally, a definite WIN!! Chicken Marsala. Those Italians, they really know their way around a kitchen.
