Remember a while back when I said that I was going to start a blog about cooking dishes from famous chefs??? Well, I never actually got around to it until today.
I toured a world reknown French Culinary school and am going to attend in Jan. 2014. By the time I finish, I will be putting together my own cookbook and someday be the Host of my own cooking show.
PLUS:
I told the people interviewing m...e that my family and friends tell me to start a blog. The lady that decides if you are going to be a good fit for the school told me that my experience today can be the start of that. My cooking blog. So I am going to do that now, for real y'all, and come back with a link.
Oh well, I'll tell y'all now-I just can't wait, am too excited! First words I said is that I am a "foodie", in less than 10 minutes we were deeply enthralled in conversation. We found out a lot of similarities besides cooking. But, cooking was the main focus as I went wayyyy back to Grandma and Grandpa. Even Mother Florence as Florence is an Italian name. I told them about the loads of cookbooks Uncle Ralph used to have and how I used to read all of the ingredients. I never read the instructions, the ingredients would send me to another world as I imagined page after page, recipe after recipe what each one tasted like. That is how I cook now, by instinct vs technique. The school is going to focus on technique, all hands-on. By the time I was done they established that my whole family are foodies, very accomplished culinaries.
So I am majoring in Cuisine with Sommelier training (that's a fancy name for wine enthusiast), I will know how to cook French and other fancy international foods along with cook beside students who have traveled overseas to learn from the chefs that really do come from France. They are very well-known French chef's.
I will be minoring in Bakery & Pastry.
I will become very familiar with cooking things like a Buerre Blanc (I heard that a lot on Iron Chef and they teach it at my school), French Lamb ? I forget the full name of the dish, etc. We have our own restaurant in the building that is open to the public. Yes, we cook. We also have days where, say; I will prep dishes for 6 of my fellow classmates (small class sizes) and my classmates will be feasting on sample dishes I have fixed for them.
Can you tell that I am excited! I am and my baby is excited for me. He said he is excited because I am, he can't wait to start tasting my cooking. Mica doesn't really know what the big deal is but he will once he starts feasting on what I learn at school.
But you know what God brings about all things good! Thank you Lord!!!! But you know the thanks don't stop there, I thank all of ya'll on fb for inspiring & encouraging me to do this. I was overflowing with excitement at the school, during my tour I kept telling them about how you guys encourage me. So putting that in with the passions that are deep in my soul (those dreams you never let go of no matter what) means that you guys are a big part of me & of my finally finally getting to this point where I am now. I can't believe the cooking blog is what I really am starting - right now! OMG!!!! Cookbook, cooking show here I come!!!! Oh Tess thank you sis! You started me off in my dream for real a few years ago. Thank you sweetie, love you!
