Today was amazing, one of our team members owns a catering company so we went to a Famous Itailian Restaurant to see the kitchen. Little did we know they would put us to work.
Learning to make focaccia:
This is me making sabyon, a custard of egg yolk, sugar, and white wine, it was later chilled and mixed with whipped cream.
This is the owner and head chef teaching us to make rissoto.
Did I mention he is world famous and cleared his schedule be with us today. He has an Italian cooking show and a culinary university. He is the equivalent of Julia Childs or Bobby Flay.
Enjoying the Rissoto
After we spent the morning helping prepare, the chef had us go to the resaurant to eat.
