Introduction to Garde Manger

Garde manger is the focus on buffet work, cold and hot sandwiches, and “finger food”. I had a brilliant instructor that I just adored. He taught us so much, and was so willing to let us pick his brain. We put up hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, salads, and hor dourves. Our final was to set up a buffet for the rest of the classes in the surrounding area, and I took lead for my team! It was a fantastic, and intense three weeks, but I learned so much! Enjoy!
