What's my "thing"?
Mar. 30th, 2011 04:55 pmPeople often try to figure out what my 'thing' is in the kitchen.
What I am: A Saucier (soups, sauces) and Grillardin (grilled meats).
Roles I have played: Chef, sous chef, chef de partie (line lead), saucier, grillardin and garde-manger (cold kitchen and the pantry chef)
What I am not: Pâtissier (pastry chef), boulanger (bread baker), confiseur (confectioner) or decoratuer(chocolate, spun/poured sugar).
I may play with baking and sugar, but when push comes to shove... I will pick savory over sweet any day of the week. It's what I know. It's what speaks to me. It's where my heart lies.
