Jane: Cook & Eat



'Cook & Eat' this week had us commis chefs coreing apples, cleaning scallops and the usual amount of chopping.  Our chef, Caroline, had once again presented us with a menu fit for a wonderful lunch or dinner, ie Scallops à la Bretonne, Duck Leg 'Pot-au-feu' and Baked Apples with Pecans, Pistachios and Raisins.  "It is a light meal!", she said.  What she meant by that is the duck fat is scooped off the top of the dish whilst cooking.
The scallops ready for the oven

.... and this is the cooked result

Duck legs confit

The prepared apples, with a little butter on top

Much chatting later, lunch was served with some delicious wine and we ate a really good meal, the quality of which surpassed most that I have had in restaurants of the area.

Editor:  Bravo Caroline, for yet another sensational lunch, preceded by the training.  You'll make chefs of us yet.
