In this episode of the Stella Culinary School Podcast, we start a four part series on basic Garde Manger, also known as the "cold kitchen". In the discussion segment, we talk about flavor structure and how it applies to making your own mixed greens. In the technique segment, we go over the building blocks of a vinaigrette, including the science behind vinegar, and why it's so important in flavor extractions. Then, in the culinary quick tip, how to properly wash and store your salad greens. Have a question or comment? Leave chef Jacob a voicemail by calling 775-204-8389, or by following this link.
