Aw Shucks (A Scallop) It's Our Last Night in Stockholm

 

The kitchen in Swedish Taste Stockholm.


Sadly, today was our last night in Stockholm. For our send off dinner, we had our last cooking class at the Swedish Taste kitchen in Stockholm. This class was a lot of fun for me!! I always wanted to be a chef growing up and this class gave us all the chance to make a fancy, four-course meal together. There were a lot of moving parts so we were divided up into groups to do different parts of each course. The four courses were a scallop dish, a steak tartare, a lamb dish, and a rhubarb and strawberry sorbet. My group was making the main dish, the seared lamb with potatoes and roast vegetables. I started off by trimming and searing the lamb with butter, garlic, and thyme, and after that was done I assisted the steak tartare group and cut the steak into small cubes. We all may have been in different groups, but at this point in the trip we all felt like a family and everyone was helping each other and we could all joke as we cooked. 

I'm going to miss everyone on this trip but I'm so grateful for all of the time we had together and this meal felt like the perfect send-off. We've all grown so much together and the atmosphere at the dinner table really highlighted that for me. Every experience we've had on this trip has brought me closer to 14 other amazing people and I'm sure that we'll all be able to stay connected now that the trip is over. Thanks to everyone on the trip for an amazing last meal and a great time in Europe!
