A Good Sense of Mise En Place

Mikaela S. I have always enjoyed cooking in a neat and orderly kitchen. I like being able to space out the food I’ve been working with and be sure that each sliced or diced product is neatly placed in a convenient spot for me to use later on. My partner in crime, Drew Szarka seems to have the same idea as I do. In the picture above, Drew and I were instructed to dice celery and garlic, as well as gingerly slice two different herbs. Without planning it out, Drew and I neatly placed our celery, herbs, and garlic all in a similar position on the cutting board. Our teacher, Mrs. Hoagland highly approved, exclaiming that we take the picture.
