Mise en Place

Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Sous Chef Sophie
Mise en Place, the key to cooking successfully, having everything out and ready to cook. As I expected, Sophie just loved her cooking class. She was the only student there looking like she’s been cooking all day, covered with flour, egg and butter in her hair. The head Chef said Sophie did such a great job and was the only one that wanted a lot of herbs in her butter sauce. I was impressed she could actually tell me all the ingredients they used to make the noodles or Pasta All’uovo Fatta in Casa. And I was also surprised how good the noodles tasted. I must admit, the best I’ve ever had...no kidding. We have a copy of the recipe, so when Aunt Christel and Cousin Catherine are here, we will definitely give it a whirl.

Sophie and I went to Wheeler Farm today. It was another beautiful, yet chilly day. There were so many baby farm animals. Sophie did not want to leave; she could have fed the baby sheep all day long. The baby ducks and geese were ubercute and adorable. Boxster, the head honcho horse was very sociable and friendly too, slobbering all over me. I was wearing a white shirt today but after my encounter with this Belgian beaut it ended up green...keeping up with the mantra “going green,” I suppose.

The best part of cooking class, eating !
