The sauces, stocks, and batters are made and ready to go.

Hours before a restaurant opens to the public, the kitchen has been buzzing with activity. Mise en place enables a restaurant to take your order and deliver a freshly made meal before you know it. You’ve probably heard this term thrown around on cooking shows or by celebrity restaurant chefs. Translated mise en place is “to put in place” or “everything in its place.” In the culinary world, this means getting organized, BEFORE you start cooking. Today, I am apologizing for not being able to do justice to the correct pronunciation of my favorite French culinary term: Mise en place (pronounced MEEZ ahn plahs) I can’t even fake a decent French accent! Usually, when I say, “excuse my French,” it’s because I’m about to use a popular curse word (or two). Thank you for shopping and I hope you love these products as much as I do.
