concentration while cookingSubmitted by cheftom on October 3, 2007 - 10:30pm.
I teach at a cooking school in Chicago and I have the hardest time getting the cooking students to concentrate while they work. We have a concept in classical cooking called mise en place, everything in its place. I think that some of the concepts in the article can help even the most Rockstar/Red Bull addled students. Thanks Merlin! Chef Tom » POSTED IN:
