STUDY AID: POSTS & PICTURES!

For ease and convenience of studying (for me and anyone else from class which this might help), here are all the dishes we need to know for the final on Friday. Mostly this is to present all the pictures of the dishes as I've fallen behind on updating the posts themselves...just too little time and too much going on getting ready for the final on Friday. This is a "study break" as it is!

We'll each either have to make two dishes in three hours. We'll either get a dish from Garde Manger and a dish from Poissonier (an appetizer and a fish dish) or a dish from Saucier and a dish from Patissier (a meat dish and a dessert).

Check out the pictures with links on the jump.

Arthur,

I thought you might be interested in the site for Bobolink dairy in Vernon NJ. They participate in the farmers' markets in the city. I have been wanting to go and visit them for two years and was thinking it might be nice to go around Christmas time since they are open all year round. I thought you would be interested because of their cheese-making and bread-making.

http://www.cowsoutside.com/

Bobolink Dairy makes cheese from the milk of twenty mixed-breed, grass-fed cows. The farm's extensive pastoral resources, as well as its proximity to New York City, have resulted in it becoming an important center for promoting grass-based, sustainable, profitable, family-sized dairy farming as an alternative to the industrial, confinement-based farms that typified the dairy industry in the late 20th Century. By working with culinary arts and agricultural institutions in the region, they are encouraging a new generation of chefs to demand and farmers to produce high-quality cheeses from well-treated cows on ever-fertile land, in both the developed and developing worlds.
In addition to the farming and cheesemaking, Bobolink has built a large wood-fired hearth oven, to bake breads to go with their cheeses.
Bobolink also offers internships in cheesemaking, grass-based dairy farming and bread baking.
Internships can take the following forms (if your interested, you'd probably be able to work something out with them maybe a work/study kind of internship so that you wouldn't have to pay):
1. Agritourism: one, two or three-day, with off-farm housing available (there are several bed-and-breakfasts and motels in the area, at a range of prices). Tuition: $100/day. Farmers, craftspeople and others are invited to make barter proposals.
2. Short internship: two month minimum, (room and board may be available on-farm).
3. Academic Internship
4. Seasonal appenticeships: For the serious would-be cheese and/or bread artisan, a full-season (10-12 month) apprenticeship is available, including all aspects of grass-based milk production, cheesemaking, ripening room operations, baking, and direct marketing.
