The End of September

I'm WAY behind on the posts... SO much has happened over the past week. At school, we finished our "basic quality ingredients" series and also mastered "basic cooking techniques". Thanks goodness, I don't think I could handle much more of the chaotic style of cooking that came with these practicums. Just a few pictures from the past week...
Greenmarket pears poached in apple cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg, drizzled with a caramelized apple reduction sauce

Tempura broccali, carrots, onions, and parsley

Tofu, carrot, mushroom and soba noodle stir fry with a shoyu and sesame sauce

A day of beans... hummus 3 days: kidney bean, chick pea, and navy beans

A day of grains... cream asparagus risotto

Baked asian millet cakes and fried polenta cakes

A day of roasting... parsnips, carrots, mushrooms, and red peppers

Roasted garlic olive oil


Needless to say, "bon appetite" to this week!
