Thats not the way things go in my house. We are a team, and we both do our share. I do most of the grilling, if only because my wife doesn’t register the cooking times and temperature as well as I do. But I also do my fair share of the periphery items as well. I went to school to be a chef, and I know how to read meat products. However, when I cater events, my wife and son are excellent help, they know how to assemble dishes and get the job done. We all work as a team, and I try to teach them more advanced stuff as time goes on. I have my son making the sauces, the wife puts together many different dishes, and when at home she is always experimenting with cooking and baking new stuff. She is an expert at making pasties (she’s Finnish), and making and baking desserts. My son also went through culinary in high school, and is the manager of a Jets Pizza outlet in town. Not the most culinary position, but it gives him experience in the business aspect of culinary as well. For the record, we don’t do catering as a business, only for charity events and special occasions for friends and family. Although we seem to be high in demand.
I don’t like those stereotype type posts, ladies and gentlemen can both equally excel in most everything we do.
Here’s a practice dish we made at home for a big wedding. I believe it was Chicken Parmesan. We always make a practice run at home before making it for an event. Also a pic of my first sous chef, had to let her go tho, she was pretty much set in her ways by then.
