Culinary School: My New Journey!

Yesterday night wrapped up a week of final exams &

Yesterday night wrapped up a week of final exams & 10 months of classes at ICE Culinary. I cannot even put into words the amount of fulfillment and joy culinary school has brought into my life. It’s honestly a bittersweet moment for me because I’m so proud of everything I’ve learned and put into practice, but I’m also so sad that classes are over. I wish it could’ve lasted forever.

Everyone that knows me knows that my love for food & learning has run deep since I was a child. I took a leap of faith, quit a job that I hated without hesitation (last October), and put my all into this. Why? Because, I wanted to be happy and pursue something made me feel alive. We all only have one life to live, and I was sick of spending my time doing things that didn’t serve me. I decided that I am worthy of living my dream life, & neither fear nor a stable/comfortable job would stop me from doing so.

Now that classes are done, we’re all moving on to complete 210 hours of externship in restaurant kitchens (once complete, we’ll graduate). I got a jump on it and actually started in a restaurant last week, but that’s a story for another day.

I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single one of you who rocked with me and encouraged me throughout this whole process. Thank you for supporting my journey & for sharing/consuming/liking my content. Although classes are over, there will be so many new things coming from me, so stay tuned! The learning never stops 💪🏽

Arctic Char with Curried Mussels.

This is a @marcuscooks recipe & is was sooooo good! The Arctic Char reminded me of Salmon, but I liked it even more. And that curry sauce the mussels were in was so bomb! 🤤

That height though!!!!!! 🔥 Yesterday was pasta

That height though!!!!!! 🔥 Yesterday was pasta day in class. The pasta making process (rolling out the dough & cutting it into desired shapes) is very therapeutic to me, so I’m glad we got the chance to do it again. We made Spaghetti in an Amatriciana Sauce & Ricotta Cavatelli cooked in a Cacio e Pepe sauce.

Fried food is my ultimate weakness, so last night

Fried food is my ultimate weakness, so last night in class was a real treat! We made Lamb Empanadas with Chimichurri Sauce, Shrimp Ceviche, Croquettas de Jamon, Vegetable Pakora Fritters with Tamarind Chutney, Arancini, and Albondigas (meatballs)!

Prepared some Hors D’oeuvres in class last night

Prepared some Hors D’oeuvres in class last night!

Watermelon “Tartare” with a Mango “Yolk”
Goat Cheese Mousse with Beet Quenelles
Salmon Tartare with Sweet Ted Onion Crème Fraiche “Cornet”
White Truffle Oil-Infused Custards with Black Truffle Ragout

The Salmon Tartare was the winner in my eyes 🤩 My takeaway- Chef Thomas Keller does not play! The egg custards & salmon tartare were his recipes & they required so much work, but made for the perfect bite.
