Today was my first day working in the kitchen today, and it was great fun! My group had to create a braised beef and vegetable dish, a carrot and onion dish, a puttanesca sauce and fresh pasta!
The braised beef was super easy and wonderfully delicious. I always think of braising as this long drawn out process that has tons of steps and requires lots of work. In truth it is 9 steps. Nine simple, easy, tidy steps. Knowing this it bums me out that spring is around the corner and there won't be many days I can braise something for dinner. While I'm not a huge fan of cooked carrots the dish was pretty darn good.
Fresh pasta is something I've never made before and will totally make again. I think there might be a pasta machine attachment for my super duper kitchen aid mixer added to my wish list of fun kitchen gadgets. Making the pasta is super easy; I really don't see why I bother buying the stuff...
