Okay, so whoever thought I would be writing a blog! I definitely didn't. But since I've started culinary school, people are always asking me question after question and I finally gave in and thought it would be a lot easier to just write about it. Since I attend school at night, it's hard for me to talk to all my friends, family, etc. SO hopefully you can catch a little glimpse into what the heck I've been doing!I started school in August at Le Cordon Bleu Chicago and am already into my "second block" of classes. At first, it seemed a little overwhelming, (especially taking public transportation!) but I settled into it pretty easily and am starting to think I've got the hang of it.
I wear full uniform to class everyday, and I mean FULL uniform. I look like the biggest goofball but I've even gotten used to that! My "chef" singled me out the first day of class for wearing make-up so I've become accustom to the whole "un-glamorous" side of the cooking industry (Don't let Giada fool you...you wouldn't be caught dead in the kitchen with a V-neck shirt and painted nails)!
It's definitely been an interesting 6 weeks to say the least but I'm loving every minute of it! Sometimes I can get caught up in the rush-hour Chicago commute or long hours in the kitchen, but I'm so lucky to be doing what I love to do...COOK! Not many people get the chance so I'm one lucky girl. Alright, enough of being sentimental...
So without further ado, I hope you enjoy hearing about my experience and maybe I can even influence YOU to get yourself in the kitchen!
Bon appetit!
Kari even though I get to hear all of your stories in person I can't wait to start reading them on-line. Love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited you started a blog! Hopefully you'll have some tips for living in Chicago along with all your cooking adventures! I have big plans to move there next year!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to read all about what you are doing at school. I hope you will have time to share some of the tips that you are learning. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi! I just started my food blog too! And it's basically about my (limited) experiences working in a kitchen, only I tried to keep the glamorous side. No make up, but I've kept my nails (fake) on and painted! I'm looking forward to reading about your experiences as well!
