I started working for a real nice family today. I will be cooking four dinners a week and packing fresh food in the fridge for lunch. I have been doing the family chef thing for year now. After a good break I found that I still dig it. It will never make me rich but dang it's sure is fun. I get to shape he palate of three cool kiddos youngest is five and the oldest is nine. It's good to be on the steady gig again. It's the dishwashing that I really get paid for... Cooking the food is a joy.
I'll post some stuff.
Tonight I made a shrimp salad for them for tomorrow... I roasted the shells and made a stock... reduced it and added some saffron. I made the fresh tomato sauce and added the shrimp saffron and it was delightful. I topped it with seared halibut steaks and a sprig of fennel frong. They dug. I made a healthy portion of tortilla soup, enough for leftovers. and a prettly little sad of beets, goat cheese, fennel, frissee, candied pecans, dried cherries and blanched baby carrots.
tomorrow I'm thinking pesto gnocchi and a couple of T-Bones. some kinda pureed soup and a wedge salad with blue cheese and bacon.
