Hello guys, it's been a long gap. Reality caught up with me finally and I gave in. College, jet lag and unpacking was NOT pretty. But I made it, of course, cause I cooked A LOT. Cookery school has taught me so much. Recipes look less intimidating, and disasters look more recoverable- It's been great. I've been trying recipes everyday, perfecting some and altering some and really screwing up some :P But it's great doing something you love cause you never get tired of it. Practice is what makes a great chef so I'm going to do lots of it. Jamie wasn't Jamie overnight after all :)
So let's get to the real stuff- Luncheons & Dinners.
Yeah I guess I've been watching too much Downton Abbey, but you get the gist. The most annoying thing about having people over for a meal is deciding the menu (is what I hear) but I happen to LOVE it. So in this section of the blog, I'm going to write about my menus for the dinner or lunches that I host. I hope it sort of gives you ideas for your own meals. Whether you get it made or make it yourself, at least you'll have a different, more exciting menu. Not everyone loves cooking and eating, most just love the latter so this is for those people, to help them narrow down on one good 3 or 4 course meal.
The ONLY sentence people say to me when I meet them is,"Dude, you have to cook for me." I'm not even exaggerating. It has become the new,"Oh my God, you've grown up!" and we all know how repetitive that can get after a while :) Don't get me wrong, I'd love to cook for you but if I don't know you, then I guess I'll see you at my restaurant ;)
So, my first dinner is going to be tonight, people who really believe in me so the pressure's really on. I'll give you a detailed account of my menu and how each dish turned out in my next post but if you can't wait, obviously I'll be tweeting and Instagramming everything- you know it ;)
So, in conclusion, it was a great summer but now it's back to work so let's do it with style. Wish me luck for tonight and if you have any suggestions or questions let me know in the comments below-
xoxo
