I mentioned in the previous post the "Left Handed Course", so I thought that I should explain it. During one of our Thursday Night Chef's Dinners we were plating a small intermezzo course (i think it was a sorbet) and we were garnishing each plate with a spoon. Being left handed himself, Nord had placed all of the spoons on the left side of the plate and I asked him what was wrong with these plates. He looked at them for quite a while and couldn't figure out what was wrong. I told him that the spoons were on the wrong side and he quickly came back with "Well this is our Left Handed course!" So ever since that night Nord has has a Left Handed Course in each of our Thursday Night Dinners.
Science has quickly become a big part of the Left Handed Course. For Christmas I bought Nord a molecular gastronomy kit that has been a fun learning project in our kitchen. Each Left Handed dish is very conceptual, and Nord works on taking something traditional like the Bloody Mary and turn it into something just a bit different like Shaved Pickle and Celery Salad with Bloody Mary Foam.
