One of the types of food we learn about in Garde Manger is called Reception Food. It's exactly what you think it is--- food served at receptions. Of course, there is more to it than just being food, it needs to be flavorful, easy to eat, 1-2 bites, leaves you with clean fingers, and stimulates your appetite. So tonight we held a reception for the students and served about 15 different foods including two different soups (1 cold chickpea and avocado, 1 hot carrot, giner, honey), salmon and tuna sushi, spicy Thai shrimp skewers, mini filet mignons on toasts with salsa verde, curry puffs, pickled onions on polenta triangles, mini dill pancakes, spicy pork empanaditas, and tomato basil mozzarella skewers. The food was all beautiful and rarely does a cook see all their work from the last two days displayed in front of them.
