By the way, I'd like to thank all anons for those verticals. No substitute for actually seeing what it's supposed to look like. Documenting failures as well as successes helps us all learn.

Just read that Pepin had a stroke. Feels bad man. Would recommend any of the old PBS documentaries of him, Julia Childs, or others over the game show format.

If you're learning to cook for yourself/friends, don't do the school thing unless you have money to burn. They're like degree mills: take your money and promise you you'll be the next Hubert Keller. You might learn something but no more than you could learn from a community college or any cooking-related meetup.

As others have said, cooking professionally is hard as fuck. I couldn't do it. Having learned to cook by spending a few years fucking around in the kitchen and reading/watching everything I could about it for the first year, I have the utmost respect for those who do.

What you ate today

Red currant, blue berries, apricots, chicken, green salad.

What's the best way to cook Dover Sole? I'm going to do the following.

Season flour with salt/pepper/fresh dill
>Coat the dover sole fillet in the seasoned flour
>Olive oil in hot pan
>Cook each side for about 4 minutes
>Serve with mashed potatoes and Caesar salad.

Please let me know if this should turn out ok or if you have any other methods/ways of cooking the fish. I have 2 dover sole fillets so I can try 2 different methods/recipes. Thanks /ck/ I love you.
