:-)

I'm sure you did just fine.

What kind of questions?

That reminds me of an anecdote I heard concerning Willie Shoemaker.

It seems he and some friends were golfing in Central Park near a bridle path. This young woman came along on horseback and she was having trouble controlling her horse. Shoemaker went over, without identifying himself, and gave her some pointers for managing the steed.

The woman looked him up and down, mostly down, and said something like, "You just concentrate on hitting the little white ball with your stick and I'll take care of this horsie." And she rode off.

Name the mother sauces. Brief pause. Name the major flavor elements in a Sauce Gribiche (???? WHO USES THIS TODAY???) sauce. (egg, mustard, capers, gherkins, tarragon, chervil)

Name 15 small sauces.

Sorta like that. What I would do to an E-3, except I wouldn't ask (demand of) an E-3 for anything but food safety.

Pretty much, until he said.. "I need four all day" in a whisper, behind me. Then I knew he was kitchen folk. And jammed my foot halfway down my throat.

I'm providing some of the equipment for tomorrow, out of my personal stores. I hope that helps.

At least I finally recognised a professional. Late.

Mother sauces: Espagnole, Bechamel, Veloute, Tomato, Hollandaise (egg sauces).

Small sauces are things like Bernaise, which is Hollandaise with tarragon.. Variations on a theme.

So there would be approximately 3 small sauces per mother sauce. And I thought I could cook!

There are hundreds of small sauces per mother sauce. I have a stack of 3x5 cards with about a couple of hundred specific sauces broken down by major components.

The total recognized sauces (per Escoffier, is in the hundreds), and that doesn't include new stuff like sweet&sour and chipotle/ranch dressing.

Chef only asked for 15 random sauces because of his time contraints. There are MANY more. It was sorta an easy question.... Out of about a thousand... name 15, and their mother sauces, and how you make them. Quickly!

Everything with a Chef is 'Right D@mn NOW!!!'

I may mellow a little bit on that, when I'm back in a cooking position. And then again.. Probably not.

Master Chef examination is more difficult than the Bar exam. There are less than 100 Master Chefs in the entire world.

And the regular Chefs are upholding the requirements.
