Hello Fellow Foodies,
It may come as no surprise to you that I spend a considerable amount of time thinking about food. My recent fascination is with Mise en Place. In this foodies opinion, Mise en Place has the ability to make or break a dish. If you are trying a new recipe or perhaps a complicated one, not being fully prepared from start to finish can make your experience difficult and possibly compromise the outcome.
What is Mise en Place you might ask? It is a French phrase that literally means "everything in place". That is to say you have every necessary ingredient, utensils, and all cooking vessels within reach before you begin cooking. Busy moms and nonfood related professionals can identify with this concept. To be fully prepared equals success. This philosophy is exemplified in campfire cooking. You need your full attention on the progression of the food especially since you don't have the same control over the heat as you do on your stove at home.
One bonus to implementing Mise en Place in your style of cooking is the enjoyment of ease and relaxation it can bring to your meal. When a recipe flows and is a success, it allows for what is really important, sharing nourishment with those we love.
Until next time
Eat healthy and be happy
