I'm completely reinvigorated. Tonight, I went to the first of 3 cooking schools given by the chef and owner Jeremy Neppl of La Chiesa, a new Italian restaurant in Spencer. I have to admit, I haven't eaten there yet...I'm just going to have to get pushy and insist on going there sometime.
I learned so much tonight. I'm worried I've already forgotten a lot of it. These workshops are a month apart. Tonight we did hors d'oeuvres. Next month we'll do entrees and in March deserts. I especially want to try making some of the different kinds of bruchette we had tonight. I loved the carmelized onion with gorganzola. The carmelized mushrooms with goat cheese was also awesome.
I stopped at the grocery store on the way home tonight. I had to stop myself from buying some of these ingredients spontaneously. I've learned from past experience, I need to have a plan made as far as when and making sure I have all the ingredients at one time before, I start buying things. I've boughten some really expensive ingredients in the past that have gone bad because I wasn't able to get to them in a timely manner.
By the way, if anyone wants poached tuna steak. I think I now know how to do it. :)
