Night 7 - Michelin Starred Chefs

Skagen Toast with Salmon and Egg
(most were prettier, this one was made
"special" for me)
After last night, I think Gothenburg is about to get its first Michelin stars, with the chefs being none other than us students.  For one of the most delicious meals I have had in a while (and by far the best on the trip), we went to a high end "restaurant,"  called Barbros Matskola, by the docks where two chefs instructed us how to cook in their kitchen, and also provide a menu and ingredients. This establishment has earned a stunning reputation in Gothenburg's culinary circles, and has been visited by royalty and the Swedish Prime Minister. Only top-end,  fresh and carefully selected ingredients are used to prepare contemporary Swedish dishes. We were broken into groups of three or four, and assigned a task; Alex Braatz, Connnor McComas, and I were assigned to the first appetizer, Toast Skagen with Salmon and Egg.  Using sushi-quality salmon, we created a delicious delicacy, and even artfully garnished the dish with fresh dill and a lemon slice.  Move over Rachel Ray, we're about to start a culinary revolution.
