Tomorrow is the last of the Creative Plate Presentation course, and it was the most intense course that I have taken since I first started to take these courses. It has pushed me to reach beyond what I thought I was capable of, and I hadn’t expected that when I signed up for this course.
We cook salmon at least once every 2 weeks, and it can get pretty boring repeating the same recipe over and over again. I made these medallions using 5 ingredients that I had at home. Super easy to make but lots of visual appeal.
The last day of class is always a little bittersweet – I will miss the industrial kitchen, the camaraderie of cooking with my classmates, and the pure enjoyment of working with some new ingredient or technique that I had not known.
I'm not a huge lover of green beans, but I really liked the spiciness of this dish so I might be convinced to eat green beans a little more. I found this recipe, tried and loved it, so I'm encouraging you to give this a whirl as well.
It totally crept up on me. I've been so busy this last week that I have barely had any time to post anything much less get ready for Xmas. Thankfully I'm off work now until the beginning of January, so I'll be doing a lot of cooking and hopefully a lot of picture taking over the next three weeks or so.
My mother has been staying with me, and I haven't had time to photograph any of the foods that we've been making. She's very interested in everything that I've been learning, so I've been repeating a lot of my recipes and experimenting with a couple more that I'll blog about shortly. Today we made garlic oil which we used in a salad.
