Since my next course will be the fabled Culinary Skills 1, I have decided to cook my way through the course outline in preparation for the class....... kinda Julia Childish, ( movie Julia and Julia). So yesterday I went to a butchers and purchased beef bones to make stock. I have the textbook already and have made the stock from it once before, therefore I figure it will be a fairly gentle introduction.
Alright, I'm afraid to try anything else........... I'm kinda intimidated by this course.
I need to pick up carrots, celery and more onions today then I should be good to go. I'll probably make it tomorrow and read up on coagulating proteins today. Last time I made this it made the air in my house smell like steak all day mmmmmmm.
Then I'll look at what else I'm supposed to cook. I need to buoy up my confidence first. Stock's easy as long as you don't let it boil. I can do that.
Usually.
Cheers,
Christine
