Gluten-Free Strawberry Cupcakes

I wrote about my first day at the culinary school here a few months ago. By the fifth month at the school, I and my fellow wanna-be-chefs had gotten used to the routine of waking up early and dressing up in all whites every day. Our brand new knife bags and crisp recipe books were stained with sauces, and in some cases, with our own blood. Band-aids were to be found in our pockets and on our fingers.

We were allowed zero creativity at these restaurants and working 8 to 10 hours outside of the school was the new normal.

My kitchen philosophy

Keep it simple. Mother Nature has already done all the hard work and given us great tasting ingredients. Your job as a cook is to start with the freshest seasonal produce and not to mask it by overcooking. Let the natural taste of ingredients from the farm shine on your plate, and take all the credit for nature's work! That's what I do on Farm on Plate!
