About Me:

I decided to go to Culinary school after losing my Dad. He was a great cook and I missed him. So off I went thinking I would just learn how to cook the basics and move on but I fell in love with cooking.
I have been a hairdresser for over 26 years so this is a new career for me. Yes I just aged myself there! LOL I enjoy learning every new thing each week or just perfecting my cutting techniques.
I am originally from Fla/NY but don't hold that against me. Get to know me then hate me! ha ha
Lived in L.A. for 10 years too. Travelled all over the US and Canada. Paris and London. Looking to connect with other students/chefs.

If anyone has been keeping up with my blogs about going to the classes that Chef Andre Bedouret has been teaching at the Milestone Culinary Art Center (MCAC), then you will know what great continuing education is all about!
Todays lessons were on Sauces, Reductions, and Emulsions. Think you knew everything there was to know about these subjects????
Guess again!

Milestone Culinary Art Center French Cuisine Update

July 19, 2009

Sunday 11am-7pm I was at MCAC the Milestone Culinary Art Center for a class on French Cuisine, taught by Chef Andre Bedouret. This was going to be a great class I knew because Chef Andre is French. He knows his food just as I know the food I grew up with in New York.

Chef Andre had an amazing list of dishes he wanted to prepare today. There was so much to do and he had everything in order and written out before we got there so he could stay on track.

The mise en place alone too… Continue

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? SO MUCH HERE, TOOOOO MUCH TO TYPE. HOPE TO MEET WITH YOU ONE DAY AND CHAT

At 10:08am on August 17, 2009, CLINTON WALLACE said…: hey girl!
I have been out of pocket for a while but all is getting better. I wanted to see how you have been doing and wanted to tell you about some major life altering things that have been going on.
what does you r fall schedule look like or do you have one at all

At 12:44pm on May 6, 2009, Natalie Roffino said…: It was great seeing you yesterday! Since I can't do CSA if the meetigns are downtown during the day I look forward to the TCA even more that I know you're involved. We'll have some great times ahead! I really want to help out a lot with that chili cookoff that's happening in November... I now a guy that does screen printing if we want to get shirts or even aprons made to give to the entries or to sell. It's just a thought. :)

At 4:30pm on April 24, 2009, Natalie Roffino said…: Yes - I will be there but that will probably be the last CSA meeting I can make. In the last board meeting they decided that the CSA meetings should be held the 2nd tuesday of every month around 11:30 am when the teachers have their monthly meeting. Since I work M-F 9-6 it's hard for me to take time like that to go all the way downtown so I don't know how involved I'll be able to be next year with the CSA. I'll have to pick the meetings I go to since I really want to be more involved in the TCA and those meetings are during the day too. It just all depends on how crazy my weeks are. And no... I can't believe your friends wanted to leave to get whataburger... they had all that food not to mention the open bar!!!

At 11:26am on April 24, 2009, Natalie Roffino said…: Yea I ended up going... pretty much our whole class ended up going including Chef Shashkan and her husband. My family and I got there right about 7 to grab a table for our class to hang out at and we pretty much stayed there the whole night - over by the Jimmy's Food Store booth. I had a blast and the turnout was great! I'm sad that I missed you but I hope that someone else puts on another event like this so we can hang out at the next one. I'll post some pictures on my Multiply.com site soon.

At 12:46pm on April 22, 2009, CLINTON WALLACE said…: DID YOU GET MY MSG

At 11:31am on April 20, 2009, Natalie Roffino said…: If you're cooking on a different night does that mean you can make it to the event Wed? I have class that night but we convinced our teacher that since it benefits El Centro we should have an optional "study session" and those that can make the event can go to it. I was sick all last week and am still fighting it so I hope I am better before wednesday so I can partake in the drinks! Thanks for spreading the word about the event! Hope to see you there!

At 10:14pm on April 8, 2009, Natalie Roffino said…: I just bought my ticket for the Dallas Observer's Wine & Dine event that's happening April 22 @ Fashion Industry Gallery. It benefits El Centro so I'm trying to get as many people from my class to go. You should spread the word and get a whole group to go too... who can say no to wine and food?! :) Hope to see you there!

At 2:43pm on April 8, 2009, Natalie Roffino said…: It was very nice to meet you as well... you are just as adorable and sweet as can be! I'm so glad to have another friendly face to see at school. Hopefully we can see each other more often than just once a month at the TCA meetings. :)
