Over Memorial Day weekend, I attended a cooking class at Chez Bay Gourmet.
One of the concepts we learned was Mise en Place, which is "Everything in it's place." Basically it means prepping all your ingredients so you have everything you need before you start cooking.
Missing are pictures from Saturday morning which include: Mushroom Stock, Chicken Stock, Pasta from Scratch, Risotto with
Butternut Squash, Rutabaga-Vidalia Velouté, Seared Scallops with Sauce Robert and Turkey White Lasagna with Bechamel Sauce.
Here's a picture of our prepped items for our recipes on Saturday afternoon. |
