so, it’s all done. And the team at the Gardens have to do it all again tomorrow-I am in awe of their energy! Am sad it is over.
for me, it was a really exciting afternoon seeing it all come together, then to really see the finished articles as we plated up the meals and they were taken out to the diners.
Clive gave me 8.5/10, which was very kind…and a round of applause from the diners!
What did I learn? Kitchens aren’t as shouty as on TV, there is more planning than I’d anticipated, there is a lot of clever re-use of food I hadn’t thought about, and I truffle oil has a fantastic smell!
Proper chefs are really clever, hard working people, who have done a lot of training to get to where they have.
The dishes turned out well, and I will repeat another day all of them at some point.
more tomorrow!
