It is not for the casual home cook. You need to go in with some cooking skills, and the recipes do not include step-by-step instructions. It also depends on the chef-instructor. I had one that I adored, and one who I liked but who was arrogant. I ruined my sauce and he just shrugged. "Throw it out and start over," he said. "Sometimes I have to make it 20 or 30 times."

I've only eaten foie gras twice in my life, once in Lyons and once in Paris, but I dream of the day when it will again pass my lips.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16359707422288071717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011647259561000207.post-32915573471965351182008-11-25T19:42:00.000+01:002008-11-25T19:42:00.000+01:00I think the most important thing people forget whe...I think the most important thing people forget when watching a chef is that he doesn't have to wash any of the utensils he uses to cook the meal, so he could not care less how many he uses. I love to cook (and I've discovered that I'm rather good at it) but I hate the clean-up afterward.<BR/>One thing I find annoying lately, is the way the chefs spill stuff around the plate as a way of garnishing. I remember when that wasn't done and the presentation was still fantastic.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.com
