The Class with the New Chef

Interesting Fact: Criss Cross grill marks are also known as quadrillage.

New module. New chef. Same Kitchen. After Thursday's trying, yet successful, exams we closed the book on module one and began our dry heat methods. Class began with a laying down of the law, aka the new chef's rules, and man does she run a tight ship and then a brief lecture on grilling before we were off slicing vegetables to put in our marinade. Which wasn't particularly good or interesting, so I won't bother to share. Then it was off to the grill pans to practice our grill marks (lay foods at the 2 oclock position and then the 10 oclock position).

All not very interesting at all and thanks to someone's good graces I wasn't paired with either Thing 1 or Thing 2 this week. Hopefully tonight will bring more fun and more interesting things to report on.
