Today we proceeded with lecture, took down copious notes, then off to demo it was to learn knife cuts. They're all pretty easy, except for Tourne, I can't seem to get those down for the life of me so I brought home some potatoes to practice on tomorrow. Today we were shown how to make "Pomme Vapeur" (Steamed Potatoes), and blanched spinach. Although my tourneed potatoes came out looking weird, I cooked them almost to perfection which then earned a pat on the back by Chef Whitmore, which isn't an easy thing to get, let me tell you. I'm slowly but surely getting my timing down, tomorrow I have to really push myself to do better, but for the most part I think I'm doing pretty well for the first couple days. Tomorrow we will be making Ratatouille, Glazed Vegetables and Braised Leeks, I love leeks AND i love Ratatouille, yummy!
