1st Round!

So it was the first time I made anything that my chefs were going to eat/taste hence my stress to succeed. When I told her I made something she was very excited to try it and I had described it as not my best....just because I know it wasn't my best work. It's was pretty good but not my best. I've done so much better in other desserts. So I brought out the green tea cheesecake for her to try and when she tasted it she liked it. It was a win for me. Our Chef de Cuisine liked it too so I was very happy with it. They both said it was good. I know that Chef was disappointed I didn't say it's the best thing I made but I'm only honest about what I create and I definitely intend to stay humble about my work. I think she wants me to express more confidence in myself and my food.

One of my peeves is that a lot of Chefs I've met are really arrogant. Some I have to say can be but there are those out there that just thinks WAY too highly of themselves. I know to be a good chef one must completely believe in and stand behind what they make. They also must have a lot of confidence in themselves but...it doesn't mean you have to become an arrogant ass. I'm so excited and happy that my chef is nothing like that. She is so down to earth and so passionate. I'm very excited to be working for her. I can't wait anymore....I should be in the kitchen by Tuesday!!! Fingers crossed.
