The CIA is definitely. A place I like to hang out.
We got to do some fun things yesterday. While not much is brand new to me, it is so good to learn what I am doing correctly and not. Most of all, since this is a learning situation and not a job situation, it's just really fun to don the togs and join in on the energy here! While lectures have been informative, the time in the kitchen matches nothing else. The suites next to us yesterday (where the full time students are working) were attending to their practical on flavors of Asia. This means in addition to what our chef taught, I eavesdropped on their Shu Mai lecture and demo. Can't wait to try them at home!
We worked on classic Bistro dinner fare.
Coq au Vin, Ravioli Provençal, Camembert crisp with apple pear compote, Burgundy braised short ribs, Moules ( mussels) Provençal , and all the fabulous sides to go with. So good.
Of course it all goes on a buffet for us to dive into but after a few hours in the heat of the kitchen one's appetite diminishes. To add to that, we went to lunch to look at a more contemporary setting and their plating style. So we were quite full from lunch! I tell you it's rough here at the CIA!
