Keep your station clean or I will kill you

Anyone that knows me knows that I am not the tidiest person. It is true that before culinary school cleaning while baking seemed unimportant, something that could be saved for afterward. It was something that I even admitted during my interview for culinary school, I was embarrassed but the woman conducting the first interview told me not to worry that would be fixed during the program.

She was right, for the first few weeks it seemed my chef was constantly reminding all of us to "CLEAN AS YOU GO". On more than one occasion my chef  would pull a student away from their final (thankfully not me) and tell them to clean. It seemed by the end of the program the problem was, for the most part, fixed. Cleaning as I cooked became second nature.


I will make this easy to remember, "Keep your station clean  or I WILL KILL YOU"
