I am over halfway through my culinary studies at Le Cordon Bleu and honestly had no idea it would be so intensive…When I said I was ready for a new challenge someone was listening as I certainly got it in spades – so goes the saying ‘ Be Careful What You Wish For!!’
I could never watch those cooking competition shows on TV because they gave me stress just watching…after being in this course and exposed to what we have to do as students…well I would not say those shows are easy but I understand a lot more of why they gave me stress, and now as I have to do it myself – oyyy!!! and with more stringent rules to follow as we are under the microscopic eye of many great French Chef’s!
I must say I am amazed at the products we learn to make and then proceed to attempt making them ourselves…some better than others but I am quite proud of all of them. When all this is over (and I plan to make it that far as I am stubborn and determined as the day is long) I want to compose a little album of my work from start to finish.
Here are a few of the many dishes we made in the first part of the course…when I get to that album I will give the dishes the proper French names….until next time..Bon Appetit!!!
