Preparation and Mise en Place

299.4 Lesson 04 of 08 3 quiz questions 1 assignment

Between the market and the flame lies the quiet, decisive work of preparation. The book is blunt about it: you cannot just start cooking immediately — you need to do the preparation for it. Professional kitchens call this discipline mise en place, everything in its place, and it begins even earlier than the cutting board, with the humble act of reading and understanding the recipe you intend to follow. A cook who prepares well has already removed most of the ways a dish can go wrong.
