The Dancer in the Kitchen

School has been very busy. We just finished the tarts section and I'm studying for the test and practical. I am a little nervous! Class is a bit daunting. College for me was over years ago. Being back in school is a strange feeling. I'm not used to having teachers telling me what to do and grading me! I feel like I am constantly being scrutinized and watched. I realized it's because as cooks you want to be precise and efficient with your movements. Just like food you don't want to waste. If you watch a cook in action in the kitchen it is almost like a choreographed dance. Every movement is planned, controlled, and has a purpose. Every movement has been rehersed over and over again until it has become second nature to the body.
