Hey guys! Alisa here. This past week I got to go to Diamond Chef 2018!!!! I had a blast there. The food was amazing!!!!! Everything there was made by students! This was my second year going. Last year, I was a guest. This year as a student. My job was serving the guests. I worked at the Neoclasic Confections table with chef teacher Chef Jan Lewandowski. I love her classes that I'm in this term. I also got to see my Mentor Donnie Ferneau. He was helping the competing chefs get their miese . Miese en plase-Mise en place (French pronunciation: [mi zɑ̃ ˈplas]) is a French culinary phrase which means "putting in place" or "everything in its place." I have not been able to see Donnie in a while because we have both been busy. But it was really good to see him again.
The Confections that I got to serve are pictured below.
Apple Tatin Cakes -Apple Cake, Caramel, Apple Gelee
Black Forest Verrines - Cherry compote, Kirsch cream, Chocolate Sponge, Micro Mint.
Citron Tarts - Lemon Curd, Candied Lemon, MicroBasil
