Thanks for the warm welcome. Coming from the Air Force hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the forum as well.
As far as the military is concerned, the bulk of it is banquets. However, being stationed in Wyoming I had the priveledge of working in the missle field. Three days in my own industrial kitchen cooking for 25 people and six days off. Though I made most of my leaps and bounds in culinary skill there (as I was able to bring my own stuff out there to prepare), my heart is still in banquets and catering.
Baking for me has been difficult, so any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Granted, I picked up a part time job in an artisian bread bakery. It's my pastry skills that are lacking.
Things I enjoy preparing? Most breakfasts and dinners. There's few things I enjoy more than putting out a great meal for friends and family. Things like beef wellington, racks of lamb, fresh veggies, and appitizers to die for.
Again, thanks for the warm welcome.
