Who Won the Bechamel Grudge Match?

Day 9 of Stocks, Sauces & Soups... that brings us to another round of practical tests.

Knife cuts were a breeze... I rather enjoy the discipline of them, while my knife and I still don't have a fantastic relationship it is getting better and I'm learning to get a straight cut more of the time.

Sauces...
The Hollandaise and Bernaise sauces were great, chef liked them and I was pleased with them.
The Bechamel sauce was not as easy as I would have liked, but it got done with out a major catastrophe! The sauces I made from the bechamel tasted decent as well.

I had a great 9 days in this class and it really is the major building block of what happens in a kitchen, especially a classical French kitchen.
