How cold is winter in your country?
In UK is zero degrees now. Some people will tell: "It's very warm weather" - they probably live in Canada, Russia or East Europe. But for me, and I'm from very warm country from all points of view :-) , it's very cold weather. When I'm getting out to go to the train station, first of all I should clear my car from the ice on windows. Then, I switch on the heating in the car and try not too freeze there. When I'm arriving to the station, I'm getting out from my nice and warm place and running to the train, that actually delayed.
One morning, I just opened a door of my house and saw this picture (see on left, above), and I had no words to say. I run to bring the camera and take a picture, because the last time that I saw snow near my home was very very long time ago.
As I already told before this term is all about France regions and the speciality of cooking there. I like this term more, because first of all I feel that I already know something about cooking (I mean professional cooking). Here we are familiar with a lot of techniques and we just having fun cooking all kind of interesting dishes. In most of practices I get compliments from chefs about my cooking. But also happen some failures. For example today was really not "my Day". When I was supposed to show my dish to chef, it just slipped out of my hands.
That was a dish that we were cooking two practices time - something with beans and different kinds of meat, warming winter dish (very good ) and it just gone :-(. So, I was very upset today. But then I remembered that broken plates brings happiness, and my mood was up again :-).
So broke you plates and be happy!!!
