Thank you for the lovely compliment, Sun. I have a long ways to go, yet, before I am ready for that title. One of my classmates made Sous Chef right out of culinary school, but I don't want that, yet. I have too much to learn, right now.
I didn't do much cooking, before I started transition, back in 07, so I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge right now, that most experienced cooks don't have. For instance, I had never roasted a whole chicken, before I was in my first semester (in culinary school), yet I had roasted a whole turkey, in the past.
Right now, I am hunting for a job for my internship (Co-Op course) so that I can finish and obtain my degree. Class starts in the middle of January, and I hope to have a lot of the required hours by then. I am also taking some baking classes, at present, as I never really did much baking, except for making sourdough bread. I am enjoying these classes, and hope that it will help enable me to work over on the other side of the kitchen, if I am asked to help out.
