Your Mise


Recommended Posts

I know you say that you're not in the kitchen much (how much is not much?) these days. When you are, what's your favourite thing to do when setting up mise en place.

For example, I have a thing about slicing mushrooms. I love having about ten pounds of different kinds of mushrooms that require different cuts and going through them in about 15 minutes, I love that.

Do you have something similiar?

I kinda like slicing garlic cloves paper thin--and chiffonading parsley. I don't generally cut my own shallots--but it feels good when the kid brings them over and I fill my cups. Love slicing the medallions of bone marrow fior bordelaise when needed.
