The Final before the Final

Week Nine has so far been my favorite week. I know that it is important to work in teams. I know that I will have to work with others in my own kitchen. However I really do enjoy the Wendy Show. It provided me an opportunity to validate what I am doing. I prepared Warm Salmon Salad Nicoise.

First thing first, I have talked about Mise en Plas before. It means have everything in its place to prepare the meal. There are several steps in the preparation of the salad. Having all the ingredients lined up in the order I need them, really works and does make a difference.

I was expecting Chef to rip my dish up. He said he was going to be highly critical. I did find the critique very helpful to prepare for the final. This honest feedback allows me to focus on those critical preparation points to produce a $15.00 plate.

I continue to practice my knife cuts. They cuts are cleaner and straighter, carrot cuts I mean. Luckily still no blue band aids.
