Staging is a unique and brief experience dating back to many many moons ago, where a budding chef can intern in a kitchen to gain experience, new techniques and recipes. I had done a couple of stages before (Stubbe chocolates, Momofuku Milk Bar), but just recently I got the opportunity while on vacation to do a stage at Sidewalk Citizen bakery in Calgary. Chef Aviv Fried is now running the most popular bakery in town, where his honest down to earth bread baking is the talk of the town. He taught me how to shape, proof, and bake bread.
Thanks Aviv
