Each week, some of us "newbys" are given a class on skills development. We are in the department at 6:30 am, before the day begins in the kitchen. A management student demonstrates various skills. So far we are practicing using a sharpening stone, a steel to hone the knife blade, cutting the various vegetables and piping techniques. Today we are piping mashed potatoes into pretty rosettes. All of these things are very interesting to me, and will be useful in my home kitchen. Stay tuned for more skills I will be practicing as the week of these classes progresses.
In the kitchen, I am helping the dessert station, which is a dangerous place for a sugar addict. Gingerbread, cheesecake with raspberry sauce, chocolate chip cookies, pineapple upside down cake, oh my!
