Although it was definitely different for me to be buckled down in one place, standing in one spot for 3 weeks (I can hear a collective “fuck YOUUUUUU” from those of you with actual jobs), I really do miss my condensed, mini school. I miss both of my instructors — I don’t know how I got so lucky to be paired with two women who love food, have insane senses of humor and know their shit. I miss Cliff, the designer of my unique “fuck, she’s only here for a few weeks” program. A man who could talk about any one food subject for hours on end and never bore you. I miss the bustling kitchen and popping my head into different stations, annoyingly asking, “WHATCHA DOOOOOOIN?” to a neighbor making something my nose couldn’t resist inquiring about.
So, was going through all the photos, and here are some of my favorite kitchen moments, for no good reason…
My Megan. Sarcastic and smart. My two favorite things. Not to mention just wonderful.
After making a ridiculous amount of food each day, all you want is for someone to come enjoy it. This was my someone.
My first perfect pie crust. Quiche.
Beef Wellington.
Steak au Poivre
The perfect scallop. With miso-cilantro butter.
I love tweezing so naturally I loved this.
Salt-crusted fish.
That crispy fish skin makes me tingly.
Pasta day.
RAVIOLO WITH HOMEMADE RICOTTA AND SAUTEED SPINACH. EGG YOLK. NEVER FORGET.
It broke. And so did I.
Butternut squash ravioli with brown butter and sage sauce. AND OH PANCETTA.
HOME CURED BACON REDEMPTION
This photo just got me pregnant.
It was sweet. Spicy. Salty. It was everything.
Just me showing off how much spiciness I can tolerate. the “after” photo
Squid ink pasta with crab, scallops and jalapeño pesto. Dishes like this are why I love food.

I admire your style.

It’s my first comment/fan mail to you, so just let me say that i am your supporter since the very beginning in stereo, and i’ve been following you on twitter also from the every beginning.
I know sounds like a psycho, but i just like you.
Well good luck on your career and all the projects. Best wishes, Joanna

That last recipe looks AMAZING! John is a LUCKY man!!
Thanks for all the latest updates! Makes the work day go by quicker. Everything looks delicious but way too difficult for me to make. Enjoying watching your journey though and still using other recipes from the blog.
Love that all your photos of cooking school show you laughing, smiling, goofing. You are clearly on cloud 9 doing what you love. Can’t wait to see even more!
Holy crap that all looks amazing. You MADE all of that, girl! Great job!
Literally i follow you on twitter and this is the first time i’ve been to your blog. two words: lady boner. you have solidified why i love you. thank you for being my favorite person on twitter and now favorite blog to follow.
This took forever to load on my phone but it was well worth the wait…good God that looks delicious! You look like you’re having so much fun in school. Time flies by when your doing what you love. Keep up the good work.
P.S. Why didn’t you mention your blog on Watch What Happens Live last week?
somethimes i confuse the word “quiche” and queef…on purpose.
what school was it?
Come on share the scallops recipe. More importantly share the trick to cooking scallops. I always over or undercook them…
I would miss that, too! In the pie crust photo, you seem to be pricking the crust with a fork. Did you pre-bake it that way before filling it? Did you still have to do the whole foil and pie weights thing or can you just prick and bake and then fill? Thanks!
TMZ Tweeted about you this morning http://www.tmz.com/photos/2012/09/22/sexy-chrissy-teigen-twitter-pictures/images/2012/09/21/chrissy2-0019-layer-1-jpg/
If my school looked THAT delicious I WOULD TOTALLY miss school too! Too bad my school was only filled with plates of text books that actually made me quite nauseous! LOL!
Just love you, love your blog. Your writing seriously makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD- I sit on the sofa, laptop on my, er, lap and cackle out loud in short bursts as my cat jumps and my husband looks at me like I’m crazy. I’m as nuts about cooking, food and travel as you and I just love your irreverent sense of humor along with the food porn. Winning combo. You need a cooking show. On HBO. No edits or bleeps. Looking forward to more posts. xoxo.
Chrissy, all your dishes look delish. Do you have any suggestions for best meals if you’re cooking for one? Love your blog and would appreciate your feedback! – Sidney
This opportunity sounds so fantastic – it would be a dream!
The food looks so incredible – you’re fantastic!
Why why why are these recipes not on here? Ravioli? Yes please! All of these pictures make me dizzy happy…and hungry!
Going to school for something you love is life changing.
All your tweets today re gun control make the most sense, everyone be crazy. It’s really refreshing to read your tweets and be reminded that someone else thinks rationally too. I never thought I would relate to a supermodel. You rock don’t ever change
what school did you go to ???
