This week the focus was on the food of Great Britain. We had a very basic but interesting menu. We made: Fennel and Red Onion Salad, Langoustine Souffle, Galzed Shallots, Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Pan Gravy, Mustard Sauce and Horseradish Sauce, Cheese and Herb Bread and Strawberry Shortbread. My main focus was the Cheese and Herb Bread. This menu used the following techniques: roasting, baking, sauce making, saute, garde manger and poaching. Our group did really well considering this was our first week together. Everything tasted wonderful. However, the Cheese and Herb Bread and Shortbread could have used about 5 more minutes in the oven. I thought the Mustard Sauce and Fennel and Onion Salad were fantastic! We stayed close to our timeline. I aam sure once we get used to each others style and work habits, we will be even better.
