as i said before, garde manger is mainly just a fancy word for the cold kitchen, however that is not how it is literally translated. that said, intro to garde manger was a great class. we learned the basic components of salads, appetizers, and hors d’oeuvre.
overall it was a fun class with a lot of opportunity for creativity and experimenting. i’m really looking forward to the challenge of advanced garde manger. that will come around next cycle after i finish this current one. for this cycle we are in our first baking course. everything i see and hear in this class is new to me. i don’t know much of anything about baking, so i really look forward to getting my hands dirty and taking it out on some dough. this first week we’ve been strictly working with bread dough and in the coming two weeks we’ll be doing some pastries, cookies, and all other sorts of baked goodness.
stay tuned.
