My neighbor down the hall is a personal chef. She seems nice enough, interested to learn pastry.
I tell her it's too busy really but I can hire her for cash (since she says she's broke) to work a couple of hours.
She says yes yes yes I am confident with pie dough, etc.
She stank like cigarettes covered up with sweet hooker cologne, had on makeup, rings, bracelets and nail polish.
She man-handled my dough like you wouldn't believe. Knew nothing about how to roll it out, at all. Not blind baking. Nothing. Wanted my recipes though. Wanted me to make her clients apple tartlets for free.
And then I found out she never went to culinary school and is a "self-taught gourmet chef."
I have a feeling I know why she's broke :(
So mad at myself for not listening to that little inner voice that said say no! I spent $30 for two hours of crap work. Ugh.
