What you knead

This is my journey through Baking and Pastry School. I hope you enjoy the stories, the photos and just randomness about me in the kitchen. --adam

Week four.

Where do I even begin?  Week four is almost ready to come to a close and I have learned so much.  I have learned that being in the kitchen is everything.  Making quality food starts with just that, quality food.  Fresh, organic, seasonal food.  Taking pride in everything you do and pushing yourself also can make for some memorable dishes. Actually, I already do take pride in everything I do, but they have taken it to a much greater level.  Research more about food than I already do, which means if I am not in the kitchen or sleeping, I am reading about food.  Food nerd, perhaps, but a very happy food nerd.  I have learned to watch, listen and ask questions on the why and the how, so I can understand how a chef thinks.  More than anything I am learning that almost 18 months ago I made one of the best decisions of my life.
