Advanced Studies: Bearnaise Sauce
New Feature yay! So, the point of this Advanced Studies feature is basically to try and make some of the things that people are generally super afraid to try. I’ve already got souffle down, so why not try other crazy things, just for the halibut (get it? hyuk. also, has anyone else realized how awesome halibut is? wtf)?
I’ve never really been afraid to jump in and try stuff (only when it comes to cooking things, that is). Cooking is such a fun thing for me, and I truly enjoy the process of the making so much that I really don’t even think about failing at something. This probably explains why I was making bread at 12, while my mom is afraid to mess with pre-made pie dough. The thing I always tell her, and would tell anyone else who bothered to ask is, you just really have to dive into things. You can’t be afraid to mess something up because it will just become this horrible self-fulfilling prophecy and you will fail. Food is like a horse or a dog or something, it can smell the fear, or, uh, a snake. Believe me, the pie dough is more afraid of you than you are of it. Maybe. Wrong metaphor? (more…)
